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.

From Dutch Canals to French Castles

Traveling has become our new obsession! Over the past three years, we’ve explored many amazing places, and I’ve shared those travelogues on my  Telugu blog . This is the first time I’m writing a travelogue in English, and I hope you enjoy reading it. This past May, we traveled to the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, and every day felt like stepping into a living storybook. From the charming canals of Amsterdam to the cobbled streets of Bruges, and from the serene gardens of the Loire Valley to the historic streets of Paris, each moment was filled with discovery. Seventeen days passed in a whirlwind of art, history, and simple joys tasting local flavors, strolling through picturesque towns, and soaking in views that felt like postcards.  We started our journey from Netherlands. The Netherlands is a small country located north of Germany. Despite its size, it rose to become one of the wealthiest nations in the world during its Golden Age. After a long and determined struggle, i...

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, we...

A Day in Giethoorn, Zaanse Schans, and Volendam

Image
This post is part of our Europe travel series. If you missed it, you can read the first part  here  and the previous post  here . We were both very interested in exploring the Dutch countryside, especially the charming village of Giethoorn, the windmills of Zaanse Schans, and the harbor town of Volendam. On the third day of our trip, May 15, we set out to visit Giethoorn. The name Giethoorn has an interesting origin. In the 13th century, immigrants from the Mediterranean region discovered hundreds of goat horns in this area. In Dutch, “Giet” means goat and “Hoorn” means horn, and that is how the village came to be called Giethoorn. The land in Giethoorn is mostly marshy. When early settlers arrived, they couldn’t easily find firewood for cooking, so they dried the peat and roots found in the marshland and used them as fuel. To transport these materials from one place to another, they dug canals. Over these canals, they built small wooden bridges. On the firmer patches of ...
