I am an intrepid traveller. Travelling has been my passion since school days. Hailing from the steel city of Rourkela in Odisha, I always had an opportunity to plan out my holidays with my family to exotic destinations that are rich in history and heritage in India. Looking back, I have also taken up trekking in Chauragarh hills of Pachmarhi, Shatrunjaya Hills of Palitana, Vaishno Devi or the Muktinath temple in Mustang Valley in Nepal and Lalang Waterfall in rainforests of Tioman Island in Malaysia. I have penned down the Odisha destinations in Pick2Move-India Travel planner brought out by Sampan Media Limited, New Delhi. I have compiled a travelogue themed- “Journeys across India” published by Best Books, Kolkata. I generally take up travel to pen down travelogues, know the art and craft of the faraway lands and of course, I do travel reporting for leading English dailies of India.

Changi International Airport



An array of thematic airport  gardens

For transit flyers making a convenient stopover at Changi International Airport, Singapore, there are a plethora of attractions to behold. Long-haul flyers can keep themselves occupied with the attractions. Ranked as the best airport in the world, the buzzword is the high level of comfort factors offered to flyers. During my brief sojourn at Changi International Airport as a flying visitor last year, I came across some magnificent, themed gardens.
Flyers can take the garden trail or visit innumerable cafes churning out delights or surf the Internet. The best way to spruce up one’s long journey is to take a look at Orchid Garden at Terminal 2 transit area with innumerable colourful orchids in bloom.

The most alluring of all gardens is the highly embellished Enchanted Garden that is quite lively and is better known as “Green Oasis”.  The main USP of the garden is the huge glass bouquet sculptures that are done up with colourful flowers and ferns. These glass bouquets are adorned with hand-cut stained glass tiles that glitter around the glass sculptures. The Enchanted Garden presents a picture of lush greenery and also has a small pond where one can gape at the Koi fish. As one walks around the garden there are sparkling lights illuminating the garden on the trail.

I also strolled around the rooftop Sunflower Garden that rests in a tranquil area and sitting in the garden, one can view the parking bay and the runway area of the airport.
