There is nothing more uplifting then hearing the sound of the ocean, rains and wind all at once. Being close to nature has always been therapeutic.And this time I choose the beach and took off to Alibaug for a quite weekend. Alibaug just a 45 min ferry ride from Mumbai and offers some great homestays to unwind. So unplanned and no place to stay I reached Alibaug.

 I did not wish to stay in the main market area I was looking at something peaceful. After connecting with the locals there I decided to head to the Kihim Beach and after walking a few places I stumbled upon a cute holiday home called Aarhaah. Nothing fancy but quaint and tucked away in the bylanes it gave me what i wanted - a home away from home. Lucky enough to get a room I was all set to begin a weekend of doing nothing. Beach walks, forts, cool winds, rains, books, hammocks and the quiet lanes were all so charming. Sometimes you don’t need to travel far away to unwind, the places closest to you offer serenity. I truly believe…the sand may brush off, the salt may wash clean, the tans may fade…but the memories live on forever
