Canberra Vacations - The National Capital City of Australia!

-


A visit to Australia wouldn't be complete without seeing the National Capiatl. Designed by American Architect Walter Birley Griffin, Canberra, the National Capital Of Australia is a city which enjoys the benefits of a metropolitan Center with all the natural beaty in the world.

Approximately 30 minutes by air form Sydney, or three hours by road, its easy to reach.
There are numerous places to see in Canberra - High Court of Australia, National Gallery of Australia, National Archives of Australia, National Library of Australia, Old Parliament House, National Portrait Gallery and the Parliament House.

 Experience the country's Film and Sound Heritage at Screen Sound Australia. be at the Australian Institute of Sport, around 10 minutes from the city and enjoy the scenario there.

But thats not all, the Australians are pretty enthusiastic about Nightlife. Be there at ICBM in Civic or at Insomnia - the most popular bar cum nightclubs in Canberra. And then theres Jackson for those who love to dance.

And before you leave the beautiful city, don't forget to cycle around the foreshore of Lake Burley Griffin.

A superb example of the Indo Aryan Architecture, the embellished carvings on the walls of the temples has made them famous. The liberty given in the idols of the not – so liberal Indian society has always been a source of curiosity. Two elements have been highlighted in the temples – women and sex. But why so, Why there are no idols of the gods worshiped in these Temples except Lord Shiva. (There is a separate Temple for Lord Shiva in Khajuraho Temples). Some say these sensuous posturing idols are in fact Tantric Images (Black Magic), pertaining to the fact that they are not limited to Khajuraho. As per this Cult, gratification of the basic instincts is one way to transcend the evils of the world and thus achieve Enlightenment. Bhoga (Physical enjoyment) and Yoga (Spiritual enjoyment) – both are seen as equally valid in the Quest fo...

Kolakatta - Calcutta Hews!

How many times have you been to Calcutta. It reminded me of the city - the movie - City of Joy. As i watched the movie i could see the lanes of calcutta running before my eyes The Lindsay Street, the Victoria Memorial, the Rabindra Badi, the Church near the Birla Planitorium.....the list is long. Calcutta begins itself with the steps of Horse Tapping, then it moves to the local EMU - the lifeline of Calcutta people and then the last - the Metro.

Slongans of - ETA CHOLBE NA - IT WON'T WORK - was all around; and see these days - same people, same place - people can't live without the Metro. So do cities change? Calcutta is a slow city, I say this as when i was back in the city after a couple of years, i could remember even the small galis - the narrow lanes, with the names chucked on them. The same banner painted in red saying - Welcome to Calcutta, the same wooden buses -...
