A Day at Energy Park and Champaran

March 13, 2010 By: Reema Category: Chhattisgarh

Every year students of 4th semester are taken on an educational tour or power plant visit and picnic by the faculties of our department. Last year I had been unable to go. So this year I decided not to miss out on the fun and to go on the picnic & tour even if it was on a Sunday in hot season of March.

So on 7th March, three college buses taking 91 students, 14 staff members, 6 catering people and their pots and pans, left for CREDA Energy Park with all students hooting and cheering. :)

The Trans Himalayan Experience

March 10, 2010 By: bikerdude Category: Hills, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Lahaul and Spiti, Roads

Many riders dream of doing the BIG ride, The Dream Ride, which tests not only the machine but your determination and grit and makes you feel small in the cycle of life of all things mortal.   These are not just words, or efforts to make you understand the difficulties, but the feeling one gets when riding on the toughest terrain our country has to offer.   This is also the name of an itinerary which I promote, traversing through the Shimla Valley, Kinnaur Valley, Spiti Valley, Lahaul Valley and then into the Ladakh region.

  1. Delhi Gwalior Indore Mandu – Road Review
  2. A day at Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh

It took us unusually long from the exit at NH3, less because of the distance, more out of our own restlessness. And it was not getting any better from the scanty help around road-directions from locals. Albert E talked about it in a very complex scientific way, trying to look for opportunities to refresh my relativity lessons. Anyway, we passed through this giant billboard and could not resist taking a good big picture. We first hit into ‘Tourist Village’, run by MPTDC which appeared very nice and inviting, before we crossed a few more water bodies and headed for our accommodation at ‘Sailing Club’, Madhav National Park.
