A Great Time On Windermere Lake And Boat Hopping Spree


Brentwood (United Kingdom), 24 August: We had booked a caravan which is a complete house by itself. This caravan has a facility of three bedrooms with two beds in each room and a fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen is really amazing as it is provided with a gas stove (with four burners), utensils, spoons, forks, hot water,  room heaters and dry-kept toilets. Totally, I haven't seen anything like that so far. These caravans are connected to underground toilets and gas connections.


Chetan, extremely innovative and a terrific cook:  We were fortunate to have Chetan with us because he is extremely innovative and a terrific cook. He is multi-talented and a very helpful human being. As I also cook both, vegetarian and non-vegetarian was like a support staff to Chetan. He would also wake us up with beautiful coffee in the cold mornings. The weather was too cold and breezy, yet Chetan would prepare breakfast and lunch for us. 


Like a mother taking care of her children: He would prepare Lemon rice, Puliyogare, Tortillas, Curd rice etc. and take care of us just like a mother taking care of her children, a unique gesture which I can never forget in my life.


In the form of a ribbon: We came to Windermere Lake for our first-day trip to Scotland. This lake is in the form of a Ribbon and that is why it is called 'Ribbon Lake' in Columbia, England and it is part of the lake dish. It is the largest lake in England by length, area and volume. The length of this lake is 18.7 kilometres with a width of 1.50 kilometres and a depth of 219 feet. 


Boat hopping throughout the day: We see a lot of tourists pouring in from everywhere. This is a sweet water lake and we purchased tickets for the whole day trip and went on a boat hopping spree. The boats are beautiful and very well maintained. They also served coffee, beer and other eatables. 


Mount Everest climbers' history in photos and the paraphernalia: We also went to see a castle which is attached to the place. The castle is still in mint condition. We also witnessed an exhibition of Mount Everest climbers' history in photos and the paraphernalia the climbers used. 


English children's book writer Beatrix Potter: The castle's name is Wray Castle. This castle belonged to the famous English children's book writer Beatrix Potter.


A great time on Windermere Lake: We really had a great time on Windermere Lake the whole day on different boasts and at various locations.

When Punjab Chief Minister's Son Was Paraded On Underwear

Year, 1959, Place Amritsar. Some Indian Army Officers & their wives went to the Railway Station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women & tried to molest them. The Army Officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre. The matter was reported to Commanding Officer Col Jyothi Mohan Sen. On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out, the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; he was none other than the son of Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, a close associate of the then PM, Jawahar Lal Nehru. All the goons were stripped to their underwear, paraded in the streets of Amritsar & later interned in the Cantonment. The next day, the Chief Minister became furious & tried to release his son from Indian Army's incarceration. Do you know what happened? His vehicle was not allowed to go into the Cantonment a

Dr Godwin Shiri: An Accomplished Theologist, Author, Research Scholar and Social Scientist..

Dr Godwin Shiri as the name itself suggests is truly a Godly person who won the hearts of people all along and wherever he went across the globe. He is a well-read, widely travelled religious personality having contributed any number of books and translations of eminent philosophers. He is turning 79 today and looking back there seems to be a huge list of accomplishments worth cherishing on the way. Priest on his own inclination: Dr Godwin Shiri himself voluntarily opted for the priestly vocation of becoming a Pastor at a young age, much against the wishes of his family. The sight of the Cross of Lord Jesus Christ and the scenario of thousands of workers marching holding red flags in his native town Mangaluru had a lasting effect on him as a young boy. Recalling the good old days Godwin Shiri admits-"Perhaps they sowed in me the seeds of compassion and social justice". Graduate in Bengaluru, Ph D in Germany: For having developed an inkling towards philosophy at too young a a

Nothing is Permanent in this World: Simon CM

Bengaluru: Simon CM spearheading the People Connected to Awareness (PCA) Trust has dedicated his available time to the welfare of society. He takes pleasure in making repeated attempts for the overall well-being of society without expecting anything in return. He has been aptly and wholeheartedly supported by his wife Rose Mary working as a Teacher and Arogya Mary, his 90-year-old mother. In an informal freewheeling chat, Simon CM took time to enlist the variety of social activities he has been into: People Connected to Awareness (PCA) Trust: I was perturbed at the injustices committed in society and atrocities of the rich on poor, the highhandedness of the haves on the have-nots and things like that. After much introspection and never-ending debate within myself, at one stage I concluded that nothing is permanent in this world. Although I plunged into social service in 2015, it was in 2017 that I completely dedicated myself to social service 24x7 with the not-for-profit organization
