My climb at Vashno Devi

Finally we come down......to climb up and down 15 Km is challenging.

We started our journey from Jaladhar in a bus 9.30 pm and reached Katra at 4:30 am in the morning. We got a shock to see a 2 km line of people standing to get the pass from the Shrine board and start their journey. We were told that first we will have to take a waiting ticket and the next day a confirm ticket will be issued to us to start out climb.

Then a miracle happened, we had member in our group who made few calls and in a matter of 4 hours we had 6 VIP passes. So finally we started our climb at 11:30am with the sun blazing on our head

At 5:30pm we reached the Temple and because we had VIP passes we got direct entry to the temple. After that we climbed another 2km to reach Bharavnath Mandir. At 5200 feets you can’t even see the foot of the mountain.

Till now thing where smooth, on the way back we took a route known as Hatti Matha. We soon realized that it had a difficult angle to walk down. This took a loot of stress on the body and we came down at 5:30am.

This experience was amazing and any one visiting should go in off-season and have VIP passes

2009-12-29T23:27:00.004+05:30

Overlooking the scenic waters of the Arabian Sea, experience Mumbai's most talked about international business and leisure 5 star hotel - The JW Marriott Mumbai. The gym, pool, and spa are also the best. With the Bollywood stars working out in there, you have good chance to spot one in the hotel. A great hotel, but for those who are willing to pay for the luxury. JW Marriott Mumbai is the ultimate destination for meetings and events, from weddings to gala dinners.

2009-12-28T21:57:00.000+05:30

India's will be playing two-Test series against South Africa early next year in effort to find a balance between cricket's three formats.

Playing more test matches is the key to protect the tag of being number 1. A last minute effort was made to convince South Africa to two one dayers and play a couple of Tests when they tour India in February-March.

The South Africa-India series was to be held in February and March next year. However, after Sunday's debacle, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said that it has been decided that the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) will not get to host this match. Though the list of venues has not been confirmed, the tainted Kotla might have hosted one of the two Test matches to be played during the series.

And the winner is Vindu

Vindu Dara Singh his new name after wining the big boss 3. In this house Vindu was the controversial and very emotional man but now he is the deserving winner.

Viewers voted Vindu as the winner over yesteryear heartthrob Poonam Dhillon and wildcard entry and model Parvesh Rana. Both Vindoo and Poonam had spent a grueling 84 days in the Bigg Boss House, while Pravesh entered the house mid-way.

3 idiots

2009-12-27T23:51:00.001+05:30

What a movie a must see for one and all. Moreover when your friend pays for it……

Aamir Khan does it again; he has once again done a move with a clear message and opened up a debate.

Based on Chetan Bhagat’s debut bestseller Five Point Someone that narrates the story of an average IIT guy who just about manages to rise above the very mediocre levels. The movie has Madhavan and Sharman Joshi as the other two idiots.The female lead for the movie played by the ever so effervescent Kareena Kapoor. To add to the histrionic appeal of the movie, Boman playing Kareena’s father.

3 Idiots is making waves here are some of the ratings given by magazines and newspapers:

India Today - 5 stars
Filmfare - 3 stars
Economic Times - 5 stars

The music is light and entertaining a decent flick. But it will not joins the ranks of Aamir Khan’s other blockbuster movies. The movie has some its hilarious moments with wedding reception and Raju’s father being reached to the hospital in a very funny way on a two-wheeler and so on.

But don’t miss the movie…go and see this only on cinemas near you…
