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...

Dear Friends! I am Dr P K Samantaray, MBBS, MD from AIIMS, New Delhi. I am working as Professor and HOD Psychiatry, at Jagjivan Ram Hospital, Mumbai. I would like to make a small request to you. Before that, I would like to share a small piece of information with you. Many of you might have read today's newspapers that EMRI results say a majority of people having Heart Attacks are less than 50 years old. *You will be surprised to know the culprit is Palm Oil. It's far far more dangerous than alcohol and Smoking put together.* India is the highest importer of Palm oil in the world. The Palm oil mafia is very very big. Our children, who are the future, are at a big risk. There is no fast food available in this country without Palm Oil. If you go to our grocery store and try to pick up a children's edible food without Palm oil - you will not succeed. You will be interested to know even the Biscuits of big companies are made from them, and similarly all chocolates. We are made ...

Sri Veereshwar Punyashrama: A unique gurukul

Sri Veereshwar Punyashrama: A unique gurukul institution with multiple contributions to the society Sri Veereshwar Punyashrama of Gadag district in the state of Karnataka is a household name in most of the regions belonging to North Karnataka and adjoining areas of neighboring states as well. The contributions of this revered religious and cultural institution to the society and humankind are endless and the list continues to keep on increasing till date. Although the founders and pontiffs of this Math happen to be Veerashiva-Lingayats that aspect just happens to be by coincidence considering the ground reality of people belonging to all faiths irrespective of their caste and religion being imparted with education. Interestingly 2018 happens to be a cherished year in the annals of the institutions as it has multiple feats to rejoice this year. It just celebrated a few milestones some time back. They include: 74 th  death anniversary of Ganayogi Shivayogi Panchakshara G...
