New York: The Big Apple

By Naveena Israni

The only sound in this serene neighbourhood was the constant whirring of the security choppers patrolling the Hudson. Though there wasn’t much to see in New Jersey, I found its peaceful charm quite endearing. Whether it was driving through Harrison, or checking out the sprawling campuses of New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers Institute at Newark, or bagging great discounts at Newport mall, Jersey Gardens mall, Macy’s, Wal-Mart, BJ’s and Shop Rite, or simply walking along the Pier… New Jersey really appealed to my senses in a way that very few can comprehend.

Sultanpur National Park: Pathos for a Sitting Duck

By Nikhil Chandra

The marshland appeared more like grassland with bushes blocking the way everywhere. There were more grazing cattle inside than birds – I mean the birds which were supposed to be there according to the article. The ambience inside the park was more allusive to the Eliot’s Wasteland than the Wordsworth Tintern Abbey. You must be thinking I am totally nuts…talking like this :-) Well the thing is that I am writing this line on a few miles away from Sultanpur National Park, on revisiting the banks of “not quite” marshlands of the park and 15 months had passed since my last visit to this one time birder’s paradise.

Rays of Light

By Manisha Chitale

We started our walk and soon saw the first of the Sarnath monument, the Chaukhandi Stupa. A beautiful, well kept garden surrounding the Stupa welcomes you with dancing butterflies and chirping birds. Chaukhandi Stupa has a square base. This stupa was built during Gupta times. And later during Islamic rule, it got the peculiar head with edges. Built in red bricks, it was an impressive site, standing tall under a blue sky, silently remembering the era by gone.
This main road of Sarnath is lined with some beautiful Buddhist temples donated and built by several east Asian Buddhist nations. It really shows their affection and devotion towards Gautam Buddha and it’s land.

Trip to village(kirtinagar)

By rawatgaurav81

The drive to Rankandiyal from Kirtinagar is around 8 kms along a small hill stream.In the month of June,the water was very clear and one could even drink it.I can vouch for its purity.The whole feeling was nostalgic since it was after 6-7 years that I was visiting the place.The sun was following with us and in no time,we reached the village.We went straight to the nani’s ancestral house where there was a big pandal and music was full on.The whole atmosphere was very divine and we were feeling very light after a long day of travel.We both were given a room in my uncle’s house.The room was small but quite cosy and we had to take blankets in the night.Soon we both were dead.

Let’s Walk everywhere – Day 10 & 11

By Shubham

Today was our tenth day here in London, and our plan for today was, er… nothing. We were basically going to sleep and rest for the first half of the day, then we would go to The Garden Café for a quick bite, and then for the second half we would come home and sleep and rest a bit more.
We decided to play a little game of taking pictures of the signboards that came on the way.

Paradise on Earth- Jammu and Kashmir (Part 3)

By Sishir Mohammed

We passed the first town enroute – Ganderbal, within an hour. It was after Ganderbal that the real beauty of the drive commenced. After Ganderbal, the snow-capped Himalayas greeted us bang on. Every turn gave us panoramic new scenes, which always seemed to better than the previous one. Complimented by the untouched beauty of the Sindh River, the landscape was picture perfect.

Patal Bhuvaneshwar – Paradise regained !!!

By SilentSoul

We left Jageshwar around 10, refreshed and forgetting the horrible incident of yesterday night. When we came out of Jageshwar road, there are two ways to go to Patal Bhuvaneshwar. The normal and shorter route is that we turn towards Almora and 5 Kms after Jageshwar turn right and passing Bare Chhina, Shera Ghat and by-passing Beri Nag, we reach Patal Bhuvaneshwar.

The other road, we were told is longer and lonely. So we decided to take this longer route, because we had enough time and I am so happy to drive on lonely roads. We turned to our left towards Gangolihat. The road was Ok for most of the parts and we hardly saw any car crossing us. Occasionally 2 or 3 trucks passed. The scene was beautiful and awesome.

Ghumakkar Insights – Camera-derie

By Devasmita

Browsing through old albums is one of those things that bring unalloyed joy. Be it the wedding pictures of my parents, the pictures from my birthdays and rice ceremony, the pictures of us as we grew up, or the pictures from that first trip to Puri and Vizag, I could spend hours browsing through memories left decades back in some forgotten alleys of time.

पिण्डारी ग्लेशियर यात्रा- छठा दिन (खाती-सूपी-बागेश्वर-अल्मोडा)

By Neeraj Jat

पिछले चार दिनों से मैं इसी खाती-सूपी वाले रास्ते की जानकारी जुटाने में लगा था और अपेक्षा से ज्यादा सफलता भी मिल रही थी। सफलता मिल रही हो तो इंसान आगे क्यों ना बढे। सुबह खा-पीकर हमने भी सूपी वाला रास्ता पकड लिया। हालांकि मैं और अतुल तो एक ही पलडे के बाट थे, जबकि हल्दीराम का झुकाव दूसरे पलडे यानी बंगाली की ओर था। बंगाली एक गाइड देवा के साथ था। देवा ने इस सूपी वाले रास्ते से जाने से मना कर दिया। देवा की मनाही और हमारे जबरदस्त समर्थन के कारण हल्दीराम बीच में फंस गया कि जाट के साथ चले या बंगाली के। आखिरकार बंगाली भी हमारी ओर ही आ गया जब उसने कहा कि इस बार कुछ नया हो जाये। धाकुडी वाले पुराने रास्ते के मुकाबले सूपी वाला रास्ता नया ही कहा जायेगा। देवा को मानना पडा।

Of Seven Capitals and New Delhi: Chapter I – Rai Pithora & Mehrauli

By Nikhil Chandra

Qutub Minar of yore was entered through its four monumental gates of which only the Southern one renowned as Alai Darwaza remains standing till date. Along the western periphery of the precinct runs a giant wall with pointed archways, creating a ‘Qibla’ or the decorated prayer wall. There are several buildings in the complex most of which lay in ruins except for the exquisitely carved tomb of Iltutmish which is still in fairly good state. The structure of note inside the complex includes the magnificent Qutub Minar, Ala al-Din Khalji’s madrasa and the Imam Zamin Mosque.
