The other day, Purva and I were in CP to visit The Embassy Restaurant for a food review when an intriguing conversation that came up.

Apart from that my knowledge and interest about the leaf-shaped island has been limited. So, the experiences I had during my seven-day trip there were completely new to even my imagination. There are no never-seen-before-beautiful sights as such,…
