Its been 10 years since Ravinder Singhs debut novel 'I too had a love story' was published and became an instant best-seller. I find solace in the fact that I have been able to transform the lowest low of my life into my highest high. Beyond all the accolades I have received and the success of this book, I go back to that moment when I hear my inner calling to write this book. I am so glad that I worked on it, he said. Penguin Random House India has come out with an illustrated 10th anniversary edition.
With Valentines Day around the corner, Ravinder recommends his top-five romantic destinations around the world
Andamans
It's beautiful, it's cozy and in the back of your mind you always know you are surrounded by water on all sides. Love confined to an island is a lot of love. The pristine Radha Nagar beach with the cliff on your left and sun, sea and sand to its right is an amazing place to hold the hands of your beloved and watch the sun set in the western horizon. Explore the island on a two-wheeler and let love kindle over a joy ride when one of you would hold other in the circle of his/her arms. Go kayaking and experience the mangroves closer
Greece
The beautiful white and blue Santorini and Mykonos don't have a parallel. It's a world apart. Go there for its breathtaking landscape. Even the ferry rides from Athens to these islands are romantic. Walk on to the deck and see the islands you pass by. Enjoy the Mediterranean food, along with the in house wines at most of the restaurants in Greece.
