Let’s be honest, you watched her skip food and water all day just to pray for your long life. The least you can do now is make that long life a little
more fun. This Karwa Chauth, skip the jewellery store and run-of-the-mill gift routine. Gift her something that'll get you the 'best husband' tag very quickly - a vacation that says thank you without words, preferably with ocean views, long massages, and no alarm clocks.
Positano, Italy
There’s fasting, and then there’s feasting in Positano. Lemon groves tumbling down pastel cliffs, Aperol spritzes by the sea, and dinners that stretch for hours. Need we say more? Check into Le Sirenuse, where balconies overlook the Tyrrhenian Sea and take her on a Vespa ride through winding coastal roads. Stop for gelato breaks, and watch the moon rise over the cliffs of Amalfi. She definitely deserves this after waiting for the moon to show up behind Delhi’s smog.
Kyoto, Japan
If she’s the kind who finds joy in details like a well-made cup of tea or a paper lantern swaying in the breeze, Kyoto will definitely impress her. You and your partner can stay at a ryokan with private onsen baths, dress in yukatas, and stroll through bamboo forests like Arashiyama. The city, while spiritual in essence, also has a thriving night food market scene where you can gorge on Japanese delicacies or sign up for am Omakase session.
Santorini, Greece
Sure, we've all seen Santorini on Instagram but there's a charm in strolling past whitewashed domes, pink sunsets, and caldera views that look airbrushed. Santorini doesn’t do subtle and neither should you. Book a cave suite in Oia with a private plunge pool and let her watch the moon shimmer over the Aegean from her lounger. There's so much to do here including exploring cliffside villages and wine tasting in Pyrgos.
Bali, Indonesia
If she’s been burning out between work, fasting, and life in general, Bali is your reset button. From temple trips in Ubud to couples’ massage by the rice paddies, there's enough to make her forget (maybe for a bit) the fast she endured for you. End the day with cocktails at sunset on Seminyak Beach.
Paris, France
Yes, it’s cliché. But so is love, and that’s what makes it timeless. Paris doesn’t require much planning and that's the best part. Just reach here, and leave it up to the city to keep you busy. Strolls along the Seine, flaky croissants, and conversations that stretch past midnight - we don't have to sell why Paris is almost always a great idea. Book a table at a candlelit bistro in Montmartre, or surprise her with a private boat ride under Pont Alexandre III as the moon glows above.
