Today I will talk about the top five dishes which are very famous in my home of Surat, India: Dhokla, Khandvi, Thepla, Jalebi-Fafda, and Sev Tameta nu saak.

Glasgow, Scotland: Spirits And Majesty

When the plane first broke below the cloud line, I was astonished by Scotland’s beauty. It was an emerald green puzzle of lush landscape in a thousand irregular squares.
