This blog has become a sort of personal-cum-public diary. As for its contents, some are meant for me and my friends and relatives; others are for the public. This blog will have only positive, ennobling, elevating, encouraging and uplifting thoughts/ideas/materials. Whoever visits should feel happy and should be able to pick up some good ideas/thoughts/links. In short, "NOTHING NEGATIVE" is my motto.(Grateful thanks to Jon Sullivan and Public-Domain-Photos.com for the background photo)

Beginning
in the Sikh holy city, Michael is dazzled by the beauty of the Golden Temple
and awed by the scale of its langar - the world's largest free kitchen. His
route then takes him through the Punjab, India's breadbasket. Michael samples
traditional chapattis, has a colourful kurta made up in one of the Punjab's
biggest cloth markets, and can't resist the foot-tapping rhythms of Punjabi
bhangra dancing, made famous by Bollywood. At Kalka, Michael glimpses the
Himalayas for the first time and joins the 1906-built mountain railway for a
stunning climb to Shimla.
Grateful thanks to Techtravel Reviews and YouTube.
