It was amazing to travel in business class. It is a real difference to travel in business class.

During the 3rd week of August, I had the chance to visit God's Own Land. As a part of my pilgrimage to Sabarimala I also visited some temples between Thissur and Sabarimala.
On 14th evening my journey started towards Kerala, by the Thiruvananthapuram Mail. My destination in Kerala was Sabarimala, but we headed towards Thissur so that we can visit few temples on Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1093857760661031502004-08-30T02:19:00.000-07:002004-08-30T02:22:40.663-07:00Return

After 15 years tomorrow India will witness a person under going the Captial Punishment. Dhananjoy Chatterjee the 39yr old convict for rape and murder of a 14 year old girl is the 55th convict to undergo the punishment. It has taken 13 years for the family of Hetal Parekh to witness the death of the murderer.
Will this be a lesson for everyone to avoid this crime?

Shimla & Kufri
After the trip to Nanital we stopped traveling during the month of December and January due to bad weather. We started our travel once again during the month of February. The first place I visited during Feb was Shimla. I went there to see and feel the snow fall, but I was able to see only snow all over the mountains. From Shimla we went to Kufri which is Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1091701538731997262004-08-05T03:22:00.000-07:002004-08-05T03:25:38.730-07:00Places Visited Last Year
River Rafting
Tried River rafting in Ganges at Rishikesh, a week after the Agra trip. We were 7 people and got a good bargain in our river rafting and night stay. The stay was in tents on the banks of Ganges. Heart throbbing experience.
Sultanpur
After 2 long trips in a month we decided to visit this bird sanctuary near Delhi.

In another 2 days I am completing 1 year of traveling. When I was in Delhi, I kept telling to myself that within a year I should see 50% of places around North India. Today when I see my list, it looks like I have achieved my target.
The places that I had visited in North India are

This weekend was the most horrible weekend I had. First of all I was alone at home, then India lost to Pak and my team was no where near the podium in the German Grand Prix. I think as per my original plan I should have gone to Warrangal.

This weekend have no plans, since all my roommates are going to their respective home town and I will be all alone at home. On Sunday have plan to watch the great India-Pak match and then the German Grand prix. Hoping that this time also my team will give a fight to the Ferraries.

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

After a month this weekend I started my travel again, but this time the travel was not a long distance, but it was 25km from the city limit and the place we visited was a water theme park. The name of the park was Ocean World, but it was not as great as Black Thunder in Tamil Nadu or the Water World in Maharastra. Our plan was to reach there by 12.30Pm and stay there till 4.30Pm.

Once we reached Mcleodganj we were very much astonished, since one could count out the Indians residing there. It was more of exile Tibetians and close followers of His Holiness. For more than ½ hr we tried getting some accommodation, but were not successful. We had to walk around 2kms from the main market to get an accommodation. By 1Pm we got settled in the hotelAravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1085485681784263752004-05-25T04:46:00.000-07:002004-05-25T04:48:01.783-07:00Trip to Little Lhasa – Part I
Last weekend the trip was planned to Gangothri, but as a last minute change we headed to Dharamsala, which is 500Km from Delhi. This trip was the one that we had not planned where and what are we going to do. On Thursday we started to search for a cab. Since our regular travels guy was not able to provide a cab for us. On Friday morning I got a call from my travel Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1085398754830267532004-05-24T04:38:00.000-07:002004-05-24T04:39:14.830-07:00About Little Lhasa
Lhasa was the capital of Tibet before the Chinese occupied during 1949-50. China claims that Tibet is a part of China and not a different country. The head of Tibet is His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. After his exile from Tibet, he has made India as the new homeland and rules the Tibetians from McLeod Ganj, which is called Little Lhasa. McLeod Ganj is 13kms from Dharamsala Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1085394712245031712004-05-24T02:41:00.000-07:002004-05-24T03:46:42.106-07:00Travel Mates
Each time when I do a trip, I travel with different set of people. This time my travel mates were all management guys. So the discussions where more related to management stuff. I was merely a spectator as I was very far from all this management fundas.Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1085152316609114962004-05-21T08:09:00.000-07:002004-05-21T08:11:56.610-07:00Weekend Trip
A last moment change in the weekend trip. The place that we are going to visit is Dharmasala. We found that it will take around 20hrs to reach Gangothri, and it requires minimum of 3 days, we have postponed the trip to next week.Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1085143255204787622004-05-21T05:35:00.000-07:002004-05-21T05:40:55.203-07:00Leadership
Today we had a leadership seminar conducted by our company. The speaker was Mr. Kiran Karnik, the president of NASSCOM. There were leadership seminar's conducted previously, but I had never taken care to attend those. But today I went for the only reason the speaker was NASSCOM and he was the President of that.
The speech was not convincing but the Q&A session was really good. Even Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1085062797173713442004-05-20T07:16:00.000-07:002004-05-20T07:20:59.330-07:00Weekend Trip

There has been a twist in tale and a clear knock out where everyone in NDA had to go silent. The way Sonia Gandhi has taken a decision. No one except for the close ones will know if she was happy for not opting the Prime Minister seat. There is always a question in her decesion. If she whas really not interested in that, what I feel is that she should have not opted for the Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1084876600851387902004-05-18T03:32:00.000-07:002004-05-18T07:02:52.886-07:00Elections '04 and its Aftermath
This was the first election where I was closely monitoring stuffs and events. The clean sweep in TN, a broken nose for NDA and a fall of an IT czar. It also interesting about the stunts of the Left, DMK and Sonia.
The most worst of all was the fall of the sensex yesterday.Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1084876369895698532004-05-18T03:27:00.000-07:002004-05-18T06:04:55.230-07:00Team Building-Training
After a long time I had attended a training about what is team, the positives and negatives of a team. In this training I was able to understand more about me than about team. It was really a good 2 day session. I would really thank Mr Prabhakar Kamath for making me to understand who I am.Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1084185964368702832004-05-10T03:40:00.000-07:002004-05-10T03:46:04.366-07:00Main Hoon Na
It looks like there is no way for an Indian film to improve. Yesterday I had the chance to view this movie, which was sponsored by my company. There is no logic or no story. It is true that when you watch any film, it may be Hollywood, Bollywood or Kollywod one has to keep his brain at home.
But one thing I would like to appreciate about this film is that, they have taken the Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1084185554426604672004-05-10T03:36:00.000-07:002004-05-10T03:39:14.426-07:00My Blog
The look and the fell of my blog has completely changed. I should really thank the Blogger team to reproduce a look of the environment. It is like from range to rich. Now my blog has a rich look, which is more satisfying to work with.

In the age of Mordern Banking, I had the chance to visit one of the Government undertaking bank, and which claims as the India's third largest Bank, the Punjab National Bank. There is no improvement in its infrastructure. There is long queue outside the bank standing and at exactly 10Am the bank doors are opened, both employees and customer enter.

Like the 1 day Chief Minister in the film Nayak, we have a 1 month Chief Justice in the SC. On June 1st he is going to retire. As a matter of respect the chair is shown to this new SC Chief Justice. Out of this 31 days what is he going to do? Why is the government not thinking it is spending the people's money?

The general elections 2004 has been giving everyday some type of surprise. The falling of NDA, the results showing as hung parliament. The worst out of all these is the Bihar incident of booth capturing at Chapra constituency. This show how notorious is Bihar, than the other states.

The next day we started off early to get the glimpse of the city and the life inside the fort. After bargaining for a long time we hired a guide to show us around the fort and the important places. The important places that one has to see are the big canon, the Jain temple and the Palace. There are different sizes of canons and on all four directions they have installed Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1082956778222816672004-04-25T22:19:00.000-07:002004-04-25T22:46:34.326-07:00Trip to Jaisalmer-Part 4
During our dinnertime we were joined with 2 foreigners who were working for the German Embassy and the Italian Embassy. We were talking more about our work and culture of each country. Both of them have come down here for a short stay of 6 months and 8 months. The dinner that was served was special dinner with sweets and special vegetable.

The two places that we visited on our route were Badabagh and Ludarva. Badabagh is the cementary for the kings. Normally the kings body is burnt and the ashes are thrown into the Ganges, after that they build a tomb like structure over the burnt area. Here the queens have their tombs on the upper mount and the Kings have them on the lower mounts. Also the king’s tomb Aravinthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17959007553064302912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123767.post-1082615893949479642004-04-21T23:38:00.000-07:002004-04-21T23:42:20.780-07:00Gmail
The option of having a email id with 1000MB is really exciting. As a user of blogger I have become a rat or a monkey for testing the functionality of this new GMAIL.
