About Me

Hi, I’m Jyothirmayi.

Welcome to Musings and Moments, a space where I share the stories that stay with me long after the moment has passed.

Over the past few years, traveling has become one of our greatest joys, and I love turning those journeys into detailed travelogues filled with memories and reflections. But this blog is not only about travel. It is also where I write about recipes that bring comfort, books that spark new thoughts, movies that leave a lasting impression, and the small, meaningful experiences from everyday life.

I have been writing in Telugu for some time, sharing my thoughts and travel stories with readers who enjoy heartfelt, detailed writing. Starting this English blog feels like opening a new chapter a way to reach wider horizons while preserving the same warmth and authenticity.

For me, life is made up of quiet moments a beautiful street in a new city, the aroma of a favorite dish, a line from a book that lingers in the mind, or an ordinary day that suddenly feels special. Writing helps me pause, reflect, and hold on to those moments a little longer.

Thank you for being here and reading along. I hope something you find here feels familiar, comforting, or inspiring.

If you’d like, I can also make a slightly shorter version that feels more modern and crisp just tell me your preference.

This post is part of our Europe travel series. If you missed the beginning, you could catch up  here . In the previous post, I shared all about our time in Bruges you can read that here . Visiting France felt like a dream come true. Its rich history and vibrant culture make every corner unforgettable. For our trip, we focused on Paris, the Palace of Versailles, Monet’s gardens in Giverny, Rouen, and the Loire Valley—each place promising a blend of history, art, and beauty. Paris was once a small Celtic village on the banks of the Seine River. Today, it has grown into one of the most important cities in the world. Over the centuries, Paris has witnessed power struggles, hunger, artistic brilliance, revolutions, and upheavals—traces of all of which are still visible across the city. We stayed in the Montparnasse area, a neighborhood that felt lively yet local, with the nearby train station making early trips to Versailles easy. On May 22nd, we left Ghent in Belgium.

Our First Day in Amsterdam

Image
This is part of our Europe travel series. Catch up on the first part  here . Our journey began on May 15 from Charlotte, with a layover in Washington, D.C. After a long overnight flight, we landed at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol the next morning. One thing that immediately impressed us was how efficiently everything was organized. The train station is located directly beneath the airport an incredibly convenient design. From there, trains connect to every part of the country. Within ten minutes, our train arrived right on time. That was the moment it truly felt real our European adventure had officially begun. We got off at Zuid Station and stepped outside. The air was cold, and the wind blew across the flat land. With no hills to stop it, the breeze moved freely. Thankfully, our hotel, Innside by Melia Amsterdam, was nearby. We could see it when we stepped outside, and it was only a quick two to three minute walk. After checking in, freshening up, and downloading the GVB app, w...

This post is part of our Europe travel series. If you missed the beginning, you could catch up here . In the previous post, I shared the 1st day of our Paris memories, you can read that here . The Palace of Versailles is a powerful symbol of French royalty, luxury, and elegance. It began as a small hunting lodge built by King Louis XIII in the 1600s. Later, his son, King Louis XIV, expanded it into a magnificent palace that reflected the power and wealth of the French monarchy. Located about twenty kilometers from Paris, Versailles became the center of royal life when Louis XIV moved his court there and ruled France from this grand palace. In later years, Louis XV added new wings and buildings to the complex. The final royal residents, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, were forced to leave the palace during the French Revolution. On the morning of May 23rd, we left Paris for Versailles by train around nine, a journey of about thirty minutes. From the station, we strolled beneath a ca...
