Jim Corbett

We went on a three day trip to Jim corbett in March. 10th March to 12th March. It was just me and my wife and daughter was with her Grand parents. I booked the Tiger Camp for our trip as it had excellent reviews and also got a great deal.


Day 1: Leaving Noida and reaching Tiger Camp
The Trip from Noida to Jim Corbett was relatively smooth. Taking NH9 , Moradabad Bypass and left turn before Rampur. After that road is hit and miss till Kashipur. After Kashipur you enter Uttarakhand  and road is great again. On reaching the Hotel, we witnessed Kosi river and it looked majestic. This view is from hotel.


Day 2.
On the second day we took the safari to Dhela zone. It was a bit far and also was a rainy day. But fortunately we were the early morning group and did see some animals and lot's of birds.
We witnessed Samba Deer.







Day 3: 

 Left the last day for relaxing and bird watching. Also visited the famous mata ka mandir. The nights at Tiger camp were most fun. There was a some talented Guitarist to set the mood and excellent food to go along. Food was always great, whether it be Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner.

Why is India an undeveloped country?

Image
Continuing from my earlier post I wanted to answer one more question which I strongly feel about. Why is India an undeveloped country even 50 years into Independence? At the time of our independence it was well accepted that for all of our misery,famines and poverty the British rule was responsible. As a consequence we developed a fear for all things foreign ( Xenophobia ). We adopted a policy which aimed at self reliance. Our exports which at the time of independence were 4.5% of world share dropped to .1 % in late 80’s. Gradually the standards of our industry had dropped to below world standards and even if we were to export our products were just not at par with other countries. All this time the government was sitting on its laurels of having made India a self reliant country in agriculture but it had all this time neglected education. This meant that many more generations even after independence will still be illiterate. Another fact in India being undeveloped has been our long he

Chembra Peak (Kerala) Trek

Image
I got the first hand experience to witness and feel why Kerala is called "Gods own country" I went there with a group of 3 on July 21st 2012 . We left Bangalore around 10:30pm by bus and reached the place around 10am next day. This included a 3 hour wait at Bandipur National Park as its closed till 6am and a 2 hour breakfast break. The base camp is further 3.5 KM through the beautifully breath taking tea estate of some Ms Fatima. Finally ready by 11am to start our trek , we left with lot of excitement and hope to reach the summit within 90 minutes. A target we set for our self. The trek itself is moderate level. When we started we realized this is not going to be easy. As it was slippery after the morning shower. We reached the beautiful heart shaped lake around 12 with still two thirds of route remaining till the top. But the views were so breathtaking that we kept stopping to take pics along the way. It was raining intermittently , but that didn't deter us e

Bangalore...

Image
Bangalore is a name that has acquired global importance. Its the face of India .It has also brought wealth and prosperity to many (but not for those who were ‘ bangalored ’). I was just 7 yrs old when I first visited Bangalore. It was the garden city of India. And now after fifteen years I came back. But this time not as a visitor, but for work. I am working in an IT company (like many) and earning my livelihood here. But it was a big disappointment for me when I saw Bangalore .It has given a heavy price for being the IT center of India. It is perfect example of what other metro cities had been witnessing for so many years. The influx of non natives. Who come here the opportunities that a city life has to offer. The government has failed badly in coping to this pressure. The infrastructure has been badly neglected. My stay at Bangalore has seen many up and downs. One of the nightmares had been finding a good place to live. Being a north India and that too a Punjabi had me searching f
