Vacation to Andaman & Nicobar Islands

Friends
From Evening of 10Th to late night of 15Th would be a memorable time. This was the vacation time and Me, Shashi, Nikita and Hitisha had gone to Andaman Nicobar Islands. A great place to have vacation and equally great historic location. A & N is a group of about 572 islands located in Bay of Bengal. It is about 1300 kms east to Chennai. Unlike Arabian Sea the water is much cleaner and greenish blue color. Port Blair is the main city of the Islands and well developed too. A & N also habitats some tribes who are still in undeveloped stage and one can find them in the remote areas. These tribes live in jungles and hunt for living. While going towards Banathan from Port Blair, we can come across to one such tribal called "Jarawa" . It is interesting to see them but equally painful too to see our own brother en in such situation. I wish soon they would also join the main line of civilisation. Government and NGOs need to do a lot for such tribal. Havelock is another beautiful location in A & N which has one of the best beach in the world (probably amongst top 10 best beaches). It also has coral beach where you can see the corals and many different color fish in the sea water. Port Blair is mainly famous for the Cellular Jail where the freedom fighters were kept, tortured and hanged. It is really painful to know the history of this wonderful jail. The jail can house more than 750 prisoners, and as per history many prisoners were kept for 40-50 years too in the jail. The cells of the jail don't have any window and very torturous. There are many locations worth visiting in A & N and one should plan for minimum 6 days to stay there. In last 10 years A&N has become a very interesting tourist place and it is really a great place to visit.

Thats good to hear tht u had a vacation with ur family. This would have given u a break from ur stressful life, hard work, n more over u would have surely relaxed which is a necessity for life. Nature always gives u fresh ness, it heals n gives strength to ur body n soul. Nature is the clothing of God. U must be geared up now after the vacation to take up ur work again. May u have such wonderful vacations with ur family..n u go on with ur work n life very smoothly.
