NORTH EAST VISIT - Day -2to4 - 861








 NORTH EAST VISIT DAY 2 - SHILLONG 

Shillong the Capital of Meghalaya is a scenic place nestled between Mountains on all sides . The houses , the attire of the people , their features gives one a feel of an all new world . The second day was reserved exclusively for a trip around many awe inspiring places in and around Shillong. Day 3 and 4 was for a visit to Umananda ,the temple up a hill in the middle of the Brahmaputra river . The ride on the largest river in India is awesome inspiring .

Sukreshwar temple smack in the heart of Guwahati .

Longer part of the Last day was a visit to the BHIMASHANKARA  JYOTHIRLINGA . That was an experience in itself . 


Both Manikandan and Usha the unseen face behind all the activities connected to the tour need to be complimented for the excellent arrangements made for the smooth conduct of the tour .

GOLU-EXHIBITION ? - 797

Image
         A GOLU WHICH IS  NO LESS                               THAN A DIVINE ART EXHIBITION  We were at Ajax in Canada on Sunday the  28 th  of September 2025 . It was a special day for two reasons . I have always been a Cricket Buff and try to watch all India related matches wherever and in whichever time zone they are played in .  It was the day of the much touted  Title Clash and  the Finals Of THE ASIA CUP CRICKET MATCH between India and Pakistan which was being played at The Dubai International Stadium . The Match was Scheduled to start at 10.30 am  Toronto Local time . There was plenty of  On Field and Off Field  drama and acrimony by the Pakis during their previous  two  league stage Matches which were  won by India handsomely and by a huge margin at that . Both were labelled as one sided encounters by the Pundi...

        IT IS BY FAR THE CHEAPEST HERE  AS ALL YOU FRIENDS MAY BE AWARE , BY A GOOD FORTUNE OF THE GRACE OF THE  GOOD LORD ABOVE  , I HAVE TRAVELLED FAR AND WIDE ACROSS THE GLOBE AND HAVE ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL BY TRAIN IN MANY OF THESE COUNTRIES . SITTING HERE IN CANADA I CAME ACROSS A BOARD WHICH WAS POSTED IN ANOTHER GROUP WHICH SHOWED THE PASSENGER TRAIN FARE DETAILS EX AMBAS TO VARIOUS PLACES . WE , WHICH INCLUDES ME , YOURS TRULY FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON LIKE TO CRITICIZE THE SERVICE PROVIDERS BE IT FROM THE STATE OR CENTRAL AUSPICES FOR NO LOGICAL REASON AND DO A GREAT DISSERVICE TO OUR NATION BY PAINTING IT IN ALL THE WRONG COLOURS. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE PASSENGER TRAIN FARE FROM AMBASAMUDRAM TO KOVILPATTY . FOR THE 100 KM DISTANCE THE FARE ON THE INDIAN RAILWAYS IT  IS  Rs 25 OR 40 PAISE PER KILOMETER .              FORTY PAISE PER KILOMETER  WHEN YOU COMPARE THE SAME WITH THE TRAIN F...

NEW LOOK AMBAI RAILWAY STATION - 807

Image
          NEW LOOK AMBAI RAILWAY STATION  Right from my childhood days , the annual trip down South to RAVANASAMUDRAM,  my Native Village  from the then CALCUTTA or KHARAGPUR during the Summer Vacation has always been an amazing experience . This was more so for the Meter Gauge journey from Chennai Egmore to Tirunelveli First and then to RAVANASAMUDRAM by the Shencottah Passenger . The change over from the Electric to Steam Locomotive at Villupuram Junction Station was a much looked forward to event .  AMBASAMUDRAM Railway Station was a much awaited location as the Steam Locomotive billowing smoke with  the rumbling Sound of the Train as it crossed  the Tambarabarani River Bridge with the huge Iron Girders  was an unforgettable experience . The ARISI MURRUKKU was a much awaited treat at this station . The 130 Year old  Quaint Station  still retained some of its old ENGLISH traits . Being the Days of the Steam Locomoti...
