A journey through The Himalayas.

This weekend was far more remarkable than we had actually planned. Everyone was very excited as we were going for camping in the lap of The Great Himalayas. The word "The Great" is correctly prefixed to it as it totally justifies with its attitude. Its ranges are never ending and stand tall, challenging you to dare reach to its height. As we got nearer and nearer, I could feel the tranquillity of the abode of snow as it literally means. At the camping spot, the holy Ganges was flowing with great persistence, teaching you to never give up, however, tough the time is. We went to the river to seek its blessings and make us pure by getting rid of our sins. After having lunch, we went for a walk through the forest.

And at the end we received sweets. When returning back home, whole of the town had flags at the top of the house and was singing songs, "Ae mere watan ke logo” being the major one. Today, all this is gone and has bec...

Terror attacks in Pathankot, India

The analysis can be made in numerous terms. Firstly by putting ourself in the shoes of the soldiers , secondly by putting yourself in the place of residents nearby and third from the point of view of administrators of the country. These three categories of people think very different from each other. Let us examine the role of each group of these people. First category of people are the real heroes, who have actually faced this, second class of people have watched this happening with terror filled eyes, praying god to spare them from becoming the victims and the third has the responsibility of   making foreign policy which decides the whole new fate of the relations with our long time foe Pakistan, which is actually running on the right track now. All thanks to “Modi’s Foreign Policy” as it is termed. The terrorists, disguised as Army men entered the Pathankot airport base, aiming to destroy the aircraft carriers and choppers. They made a call to Pakistan ...
