Ladakh: In & Around.

Image
Day 3 on the tour! We started to a place named Magnetic hill, about 45 kms from Leh, a drive on the famous Kargil road. The roads made our journey comfortable and a true pleasure, hats off to BRO (Border Roads Organization).  Photography being my most enjoyable hobby, I couldn't sit still as every site along the way was worth a picture! Magnetic Hill: When we reached the spot, our driver (also the guide!) showed us, what this magnetic hill actually was.  At one point, the vehicle in neutral has to go back because of the slope, instead due to the magnetic pull; the vehicle goes forward, interesting! ‘ Isn't it!?’ And, with this theory to go by, the hill got its name ‘Magnetic Hill’. Sangam : Next spot on the way. It is the confluence of rivers Sindhu and Zanskar. We can see the clear waters of Sindhu flowing into dark and heavy flow of Zanskar. The rivers are surrounded by plain mud hills. The blue sky, brown hills, white and cream of rivers ...

Pangong: Experience Heaven.

Three buddies met finally! I bet if anyone could forget the beauty of location where Farhan and Raju meet Rancho , Aamir Khan in 3 Idiots movie. Well, the location was Pangong Lake in Ladakh. We started our journey to Pangong Lake from Ladakh. The journey was long, yet pleasant. We didn't know how five hours just went by. Fine roads made the journey comfortable and sand peaks surrounded in the peace of an environment under blue sky was indeed a pleasure to watch and rejoice.     The journey starts with plain roads, then up the hill and again down to the plains, in a dramatic way like a sine-wave ' I am an engineer after all'!  We crossed some villages named Shey among the others to reach ChangLe Pass. Facts state, ChangeLe as world's third highest pass. Being completely covered by snow, it is termed locally as India’s Swiss. We had lot of fun playing in snow. I don’t remember the number of times I fell down wearing large snow boots that were h...

Boredom!

Image
Well, it feels good to restart my blog after a long time. Indeed long! Where should I start!? What should I do! Hmm.. Boredom! What is Boredom? This is a state where mind goes crazy with no work and nothing to work on. A recommended work during this state of mind- is to define this over and over again, to kill some time and reduce some boredom. . Else, - always have your cellphone, i bet some or other friend of yours will find time to text and you can start a conversation. - have a book, preferably a novel or magazine, to spend time even without your knowledge of how time got spent. - have a laptop with internet, you will never experience boredom! Internet world is where we live. Else if, - when devoid of all the above stuff, pick up a paper, write all the crap that comes to your mind and blog it later, like what I just did!

Korean Addiction!

Image
My friends Sathu, Sruthi & Divya were watching some Korean series and I didn't really like the whole concept of watch, and read the subtitles to understand. Nah!                                         But then, I had completed the novel I was reading 'A Simple Plan' by Scott Smith and started watching this random Korean series with Sruthi, since I was left with no other activity to do. There began the addiction! Hmm, those dramas are really cool. It is certainly not boring to watch and read. The first K-drama we watched was 'Playful kiss'. It's a teen-drama series. The lead gal 'Oh Ha Ni' was so so cute, I watched entire series consisting of 16 Episodes for her! Thanks to Youtube & other friends who had already downloaded the series.  This Korean addiction was spre...

Have You Ever.. !?

When I was really bored being alone with no iPod, no novel and phone with low charge   ("Can a person still survive!? I did, YO!"),   all I had was a piece of paper, pen and lots of time to spend, following was something that came to my mind in utter boredom, and here it goes... Have you ever....         Have you ever felt sad that your dream wasn't real?       Have you ever tried to finish a dream by going back to sleep?       Have you ever charged your cell for 5 mins because you think it will make a difference?         Have you ever felt selecting a dress out of 2 in a showroom; become the most crucial decisions of life?       Have you ever felt sigh of relief when the hero of the movie defeats the bad guys?       Have you ever predicted the movie story half way through?       Have you ever planned out with friends before you ...

The Most Boring Story!

Nothing Special, I have got nothing to write in particular, but wanted to! Its been good long time writing and yes, I like writing, what so ever! Hmmm......... Well, days have been really hectic and are getting worse day-by-day with stress, pressure, and increasing responsibilities! A True Fact!! I remember, when I was at school, teachers used to say: 'Study hard to achieve success in future'. And, I did obey: Yes Ma'am/Sir. I did put in my fullest effort, studied hard and got a good % in 10th . Okay, So got into 11th, I expected people to hang on my 10th %, but frankly that really wasn't the point, all I heard in 11th and 12th was: 'Study hard to achieve success in future'. And I did obey ( not fully though!, lol ). I did put my effort and landed in an Engineering course as wished. Well, now what!? Is it the end of all screwing up exams or least 'the study hard for future story': No, A big NO! Here I am in an Engineering college, working hard for goo...
