Mussoorie The Next Winter Destination

-








When it comes to Indian Hill Stations, Mussoorie is one of the most admired one. Standing at a distance of just 8 hours by road from Delhi, it is certainly not to be missed out. broadly speaking it takes about a day to reach this poetic land which has no direct flights and absolutely no trains to reach it. If you are short on time then one can take a flight to Dehradun which is a 2 hours 25 minutes flight from Delhi(of SpiceJet). From there on you need to take a Taxi to reach the hill station. 

Established by a British Officer in 1820, it was once called the "Queen of Hill Stations". Today it is a much-admired place where Ruskin Bond lives and often comes to BookStores to Autograph his books! Surrounded by Doon Valley, it has a wide number of hotels to choose from. From 5 star hotels like JW Marriot to Vermont Estate, it has got stay for everyone. However in the season, one may find stays a little costlier beginning from INR 3000 per day; but the price is worth it. 

The place has got more than 39 beautiful and serene tourist destinations to see. Some even take a single day just to see around, so it's better to have some days on hand before coming here! The list includes must visit places like Lal Tibba, Happy Valley, Mussoorie Heritage Centre, Jharipani Falls, Choepelling Temple and the Cafe next to Ruskin Bonds house. But this all is for daytime. Evening calls for a walk on the Mall Road as well as Library Bazar. The two most well-known attractions in these places are the Movie Theatre and the Icecream Parlour which sells yummy ice creams in winters! 

But that includes man-made structures, but what is admired most here is the natural beauty which defies time. So, be here enjoy what mother nature gives to its visitors, something which is unbeatable and unforgettable!

The Voyage to Khajuraho - Khajurao Temples

-
Either it is contemporary or its is esthic – in whatever way you can accept it, the sculptures of Khajuraho has always been a question for the mankind. 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. I still remember the Metro Station Senior Engineer telling me how it was in the beginning when Metro came. 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 -...
