I always had this dream of going to a vineyard when all the vines are laden with fruit, and to just experience the feeling of standing in the midst of all that gorgeousness. That dream of mine came true last weekend, when the OH and I got a chance to visit a vineyard in Rajankunte, Bangalore.
It is an AMAZING feeling to stand beneath those vines and take in the rows and rows and rows of grapes just waiting to be plucked, I tell you!
Here are some memories from the visit.

And great to know that someone else feels the same way I do – it is not a very common thing for people to feel, I guess.

Well, it was not a professional vineyard we went to. We requested for permission to enter a farmer’s house and vineyard. Couldn’t pluck them, of course. However, I have to say that it was quite difficult to resist the urge. 🙂
These are all simple dreams that anyone can fulfill at any time. Why get jealous and all? Just get up and do it!!

It is the season for plucking grapes now, and you should visit immediately if you want to see the fruit hanging from the vines.
Kashmir is beautiful, but there is a lot of commercialization there. Just like any other tourist place. We got utterly disgusted with certain things. You will know when you visit there. 🙂
