केदारताल यात्रा – भोज खड़क – केदार खड़क – केदार ताल

By Harish Bhatt

19 जून 2017 – कपिल ने बताया की भोज खड़क से केदार खड़क के बीच दूरी ज्यादा नहीं है लेकिन रास्ता काफी दुर्गम है। पहले दो घंटे तो रास्ता कल जैसा ही खड़ी चढाई वाला था लेकिन कोई ख़ास परेशानी नहीं हुई। कुछ और आगे बढ़ने पर हम एक ऐसी जगह पर पहुंचे जहाँ पर कोई रास्ता ही नहीं था। भूस्खलन से रास्ता गायब हो गया था। अब हमे एकदम नीच केदार गंगा तक जाना था जहाँ से रास्ता ढूंढ़ने की कोशिश करनी थी। नीचे पहुँच कर समझ में आया की पानी में उतर कर ही आगे बड़ा जा सकता है। एक तरफ केदार गंगा का हड्डियों को जमा देने वाला पानी था और दूसरी तरफ ऊपर पहाड़ी से पत्थर गिर रहे थे।

The Residency – India’s Alamo

By Patrick

The Residency is a wonderful piece of history. It tells us of the resilience of Indian troops during the mutiny. Studies tell us that they were defeated due to the lack of officers. Any army needs officers to coordinate fire and chalk out strategies. This was sadly lacking and the revolution petered out. The British on the other hand realised that they could not be masters for long in a country not their own. The Residency stands today as a testimony of the rule of that day.

केदारताल यात्रा – गंगोत्री से भोज खड़क

By Harish Bhatt

अगली सुबह यानि 18 जून 2017 को नींद तो छै बजे ही खुल गयी थी लेकिन ठण्ड के कारण रजाई से बहार निकलते निकलते सात बज गए। तब तक कपिल भी हमारे कमरे में आ गया और फटा फट सामान बांधने में हमारी मदद करने लगा। ठीक आठ बजे हम फॉरेस्ट ऑफिस पहुंचे और परमिट की एंट्री करवाई तथा कैंपिंग चार्जेज़ और गार्बेज चार्जेज़ जमा करवा के वापस अपने कमरे पे सामन उठाने पहुँच गए। ट्रेक शुरू करने से पहले फॉरेस्ट डिपार्टमेंट वाले गार्बेज चार्जेज लेते हैं जो की ट्रेक के दौरान आपके द्वारा फैलाये गए कूड़े कटकर के लिए होते हैं। ये चार्जेज रिफंडेबल होते हैं अगर आप ट्रेक से वापस आने के बाद अपना सारा कूड़ा वापस लेके आये हों तो। सारी तैयारियां पूरी होने के बाद हम अपने सफर पर निकल पड़े जो की सूर्य कुंड को पार करके शुरू से ही खड़ी चढाई से शुरू होता है।

In the land of smiles: Thailand

By Anjaly Thomas

I wasn’t prepared for anything which is what conditioned me for everything to come. I can’t explain it. But when I landed at Bangkok, (Suwarnabhumi pronounced Su-wana-poon) a singularly inspiring piece of engineering, I was overcome with various feelings_ euphoria, above all. I needed my visa (on arrival for Indian passport holders), a shower and change. I was backpacking, had no time to waste, had to pack in as much as I could while I was here and I wasn’t going to check into a hotel to distress.

Adisaptagram – an ancient port town in Bengal

By tirtha22

Currently there is a railway station by the name of Adisaptagram in the Howrah-Burdwan main line which indicates the township of Saptagram. One of the most important remnants which still exists today is a brick mosque protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. The roof has collapsed . There are rich terracotta decorations on the exterior walls and on the three Mihrabs and corner Minarets .There is a stone foundation plaque which states that the Mosque was constructed by Syed Jamaluddin , the son of Abul Syed Fakuruddin of Amul during the Ramzan month circa 936 Hizira(1529 AD).

Fall in Virginia

By Devasmita

People who leave their country to live in the USA often complain about certain things they terribly miss at home. It could be the food they are used to, the ease of life, or simply the comfort of talking to someone in their native language. If the reverse was to happen and I was to go back to India, one of the many things I would miss is the fall season I have grown to love and enjoy in the USA.

केदारताल यात्रा – दिल्ली से गंगोत्री

By Harish Bhatt

जिस नंबर पर आप संपर्क करना कहते हैं वो अभी स्विच ऑफ है या नेटवर्क छेत्र से बहार है… ऋषिकेश में शुबह के 4:30 बज रहे थे और मेरी इस यात्रा के साथी प्रशांत ने मुझे यहीं मिलना था लेकिन उसका फ़ोन स्विच ऑफ आ रहा था। मै दिल्ली से 16 जून की रात को चला था और प्रशांत देहरादून से आकर रात बिताने के लिए ऋषिकेश में किसी होटल में ठहरा हुआ था और सुबह हम दोनों को मिलकर उत्तरकाशी की ओर रवाना होना था। प्रशांत ने मुझे रात को ही बता दिया था की वो किस होटल में ठहरा है लेकिन मुझे होटल का नाम याद नहीं था, बस इतना याद था की होटल त्रिवेणी घाट के पास है। अब समझ में नहीं आ रहा था की क्या किया जाए। सुबह सुबह सड़क पर एकदम सन्नाटा था और मै इधर उधर टहल कर टाइम पास करने लगा की तक़रीबन बीस मिनट बाद मेरे फ़ोन की घंटी बजी, देखा की प्रशांत का ही फ़ोन है। मै प्रशांत के बताये हुए रस्ते पे चल पड़ा और कुछ ही मिनटों में उसके होटल के कमरे में पहुँच गया।

The Leisure Road Trip to Kolkata

By Wanderlust_Diva

In the morning we got up by 4:30am. All the end moment packing was done starting from camera charger, laptop and mobile charger. We were in a hurry as we had planned to leave by 5:00am and we were running late. Never mind we were ready by 6:15am and left our home sweet home by 6:30am. The Toyota Fortuner which I was going to drive became a small caravan with the facility for breakfast, lunch and some other tits-bits and beverages like a bottle of Coca-Cola, Tea, and Coffee.

Wanderings in South Goa.

By Vijay Shivdasani

You are really spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants in Goa. Besides the beach shacks, where you can sit on the sands and gaze out at the sea, sipping on a drink, while waiting an hour or two for your meal to arrive, there are many restaurants inland which also serve excellent food at very reasonable rates. There is a fusion of East and West, Portugese and Indian, meat and vegetables, which makes Goan cuisine unique. Coconut is used liberally, along with other Indian spices in the cooking. ‘Fish curry rice’ is the most common food and available virtually in every restaurant. The different types of seafood on offer in Goa includes pomfret, kingfish, ladyfish, mackerel, tuna, shark, crab, prawn, lobster, squid and mussels. Chicken, pork, mutton and beef dishes are also on offer at all the restaurants, cooked in the popular Goan flavours such as vindaloo, balchao, recheado, xhacuti and caldin.
We had already planned that we would include at least one meal out at a shack or restaurant in our daily sight-seeing itinerary. One precaution we always took was to carry our own drinking water if we did not want to order a drink, or pay for a bottle of branded mineral water.
