RANDOM THOUGHTS

           CALGARY AND TRIP BACK HOME  The 170 kms trip from Drumheller to Calgary was smooth as was the Airbnb accomodation booked . Eateries offering our Indian Food were plenty . Madras Cafe Chain  for South Indian Food whose owner originally hailed from Sivakasi and Paranthewale offering North Indian Food almost next door to our place of stay was indeed a bonus .  The sunny weather outside was a big relief but the warnings of heavy snowing for the next two Days was a dampener as we had planned a visit to Banff which is reportedly one of the most Scenic and beautiful places in Canada .                              CALGARY TOWER  Our plans for Calgary included a visit to the famous Murugan and Karumariamman Temples there  .                  Calgary Murugan Temple            Calgary K...

        SPLENDID DAY  AT  DRUMHELLER   We were at Sure Stay Hotel and registered ourselves at Drumheller by 6.00 pm . We had covered the 670 KMS in 8 hours with a number of PIT stops for Food and  you know what . The Hoodoo Mountain Ranges is a place which attract a lot of footfalls at Drumheller. Mother Nature has sculpted exquisite figurines over centuries of blowing over of the wind across the place and the sedimentary nature of the mountain face . The whole place is scientifically believed to have been under the sea at one time long years back . Climbing the dunes had its own thrill and we all enjoyed the visit and had a grand time at the Hoodoo Range .                  HOODOO MOUNTAIN RANGES  STAR MINE SUSPENSION BRIDGE  The Star Mine SUSPENSION BRIDGE is a special attraction here at Drumheller. The place used to be a mining hub for Coal at one time . The bridge was used for transpor...

     ALBERTA VISIT - ONE - PRECURSOR  We are now at Regina in the Saskatchewan Province of Canada with our Daughter, SIL and our Grand Kids . Winter as you know are harsh in these parts with not much of outdoor activities during these four plus months .  The near four Months of Freezing Temperatures finally begin to make way for warmer climates  with Temperatures in the Positive range from early April or thereabouts .  This is a much looked forward to event and a celebratory time with Schools closing for 10 Days to mark the event and allow the kids and their parents to feel the Sun and stretch their legs . Parents use this School Holiday to take out their Kids for outings during these times . Anoo , Kamesh , Aarna and Arya decided to explore the interesting places in the neighbouring province of Alberta . Drumheller , a small place with many tourist attractions like the Mountain Ranges, STAR MINE Suspension Bridge , Willow Creek Hoodoos , Royal Tyrell ...

     No way you can DELETE this Memory The other day while being busy on the Mobile, a message kept popping up to show that the MEMORY on my Mobile was almost full and that I needed to do something fast to gain some space . The first thing that come to mind on such occasions is to DELETE the duplicate or unwanted pictures and Videos stored in the Mobile . ( It is a different matter that this Deleting is not going to be of much help in this regard )  I must confess that I have pictures/videos  stored which are at least a decade old . They have been  helping me as a backdrop for my Blog Posts . This led me to a browsing session and a deleting spree of old and duplicate pictures/videos . As some  of you may be aware , I completed my Textile Technology at the SASMIRA located at Worli in Mumbai more than half a century back . This is a place which has a special place in my memory . I had taken a couple of pictures of the Institute during my Subsequent Visit...
