Travel & living

This is the one channel that gives a nature lover like myself a real eyetonic and general knowledge about where , what is situated, especially good for those sodium lamped brains like myself who just refuse to love the beauty of geography.

I really want to share the brilliance of this channel.

The host roamed around with the New Zealand prime minister just like you would roam around with your childhood friend in a new place when you come down to meet her at her hometown. The brilliance of this episode was that it showed the PM - a woman- so carefree down to earth but yet with a never ending zeal for anything and everything. I learnt about a new therapy that is offered by the Kiwis- Thrill therapy- consisting of boating in a motor boat at speeds ranging from very stable and steady to high rash speed just to de stress person- methodology: from no stress to high stress and then reaching ground. a ride which i really was dying to have but couldnt as i was watching it on TV.

Then the Brilliant PM took the host who was a guy into something which was called the Lost place or the darkest forests where the Lost world dinosaurs sprang from, where they hung down a 100 foot rope whose end couldn't be seen when they were hanging from the top to enter into caves that were pitch black.

Superb photography. A must see channel. Travel & living and fun !

The fine line between hypocrisy and advocacy.

The experienced hot shot : climate change is essential! Its going to ruin the entire future! (AND MY STOCK EXCHANGE MONEY) The lowly subordinate : yeah sure sir you bet we agree on that-climate change is going to have a diverse impact on livelihoods. The experienced hot shot : (irritated) ah well do whatever you were asked to do this morning and don’t forget to book my flight by business class and don’t forget to mention that airconditioned luxury car in our UNDP budget for climate change project. The lowly subordinate : Well if I may ask……why do ‘we’ want an AC car sir? The experienced hot shot : arrrrrrrrrrrrrrh growls, scowls and many ageing frowns later—have you ever understood the term; using for future investment {from a funder’s money}? Do you want to take that expense of the Mercedes C class from your salary? The lowly subordinate: ah well! (Gulp) now that you have made crystal clear I don’t think Sir there is anything left in the grey area but d...

Visiting the land of Aqua farming - Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh

I was on a work trip from Hyderabad (Telangana) to Bhimavaram by train.  Unlike other train journeys, which involve travelling overnight and eventually missing the dropping point due to a good nights sleep, this one was plagued with a co-passengers plagued with bed bugs in Indian Railways, Third AC berths. Yes those blood sucking monsters exist and thrive in Indian Railways! No I am not a senior citizen, writing about a train journey to AP in the 80s / 90's. Its 2017 and already December. Co-passengers : Aunty, Uncle and a boy. Aunty and Uncle on Lower berth. Boy on the middle berth. Me on the middle berth too. Sandwiched between aunty and another interesting player on the top berth. Cursing my luck for not getting any other seat, i decided to try sleeping to wake up fresh. The boy falls asleep, peacefully, snoring away to glory! Some very audible talking by Aunty in Telugu, or some south Indian language continues with Uncle. Seems to be they are in a happy mood, cross ...

Uncle Sam's Pizza

Udaipur - well known as the CITY OF LAKES didnot have a genuine Pizza outlet till November 07. Come 2008 and on my way from the railway station of Udaipur i see a shining board amongst some dirty travel boards. I stopped my friend immediately and we went back to check if it was really genuine! So we went back and found those round- without back support shiny little stools or chairs if you want to call them and some 4 young men eagerly searching our faces to check if we fell in the window shoppers group or just curious passers by. So we placed a delicious order of Vegi delight pizza and and some Garlic cheese bread with Jalapeno topping. So they seemed to have authentic ovens for pizza and when it came out i ll tell you how it looked and smelled but you gotta try it on your own to believe me. The waitor came with the pizza in a thermocol plate and nonbiodegradable plastic glass. Apart from that The small mushrooms just tender enough to melt in the mouth, the Green capsicum, and the oran...
