Tranquility

When you think Kolkata, you definitely do not think of tranquility. Not till I arrived at Vedic Village- a unique spa resort experience with the flavour of the Indian countryside. Set in the exclusive Rajarhat Megacity - a 20 minute drive from Kolkata city airport and just 40 minutes away from the centre of the City. Truly a place to relax and recharge. The drive to Vedic Village wasn't a pleasant one with bad bumpy roads but all of that was forgotten when we checked into our Earth Villa. A truly rustic room. We looked out of our window and found ourselves surrounded by a lake and pretty white-winged water birds flying around. We put our things in our room and headed home for lunch at the in-house restaurant, Yagna. Indulged in a yummy buffet lunch which was reasonably priced. Later when back into our room, did some assignment, watched some cricket, played carrom, pool, table tennis and chilled again in our room. Definitely what I wanted. Some peace and quiet. As we ordered some snacks in our room, we got a call from the hotel staff saying that we got an upgrade into the spa villas, the best in Vedic Village. (Don't ask how :P)

Time for dinner - and we headed out for dinner. Ordered some cocktails in our room and enjoyed the tranquility around us. I always love hotel breakfasts and this was no exception. Awesome omelettes, idlis, sambhars, etc etc etc. With a full tummy, we left Vedic to face the hustle bustle all recharged!
