My Holiday April 2010

Mysore

First we went to Mysore. We halted in Mysore to see my mother’s uncles. We stayed at their place. After a little while my mother and my mother’s uncle left to visit someone. My mother’s aunty, my sister and I stayed back at home. In the house my sister and my mother’s aunt played a game called Rummikub. When they were playing I was doing something on power point on the computer. Afterwards we had dinner.Then I watched little television. After that my father and I slept together. My mother and my sister slept by themselves in another room. The next day my whole family woke up at 05:00a.m. Then at 05:45 a.m we left and reached Puttur at 10:00 am. Puttur is near Mangalore.

Puttur

In Puttur my cousins were there. Three of my cousins came from U.S.A. And three other cousins came from Bangalore. One of my Bangalore cousin's mother has had a new baby, so I now have another cousin! We played many games in Puttur. We played Police and Robbers. We even played a game with a bow and arrow. We took a bow and arrow and aimed it on our car window. After a little while we played video games on the television. In Puttur there is a big ground. On that ground every year in April they set up rides during the temple festival. There were many different rides. We went on three rides. They are:
The ferris wheel, break dance and another one whose name I cannot remember.

Here is a picture of some family members who went together to the ground:




We were staying in our grand uncle's house. They have a dog who is very old so he did not play with us at all. Here is a picture of the dog:



Mangalore

Day 1

In Mangalore I played with my cousins who were from my mother’s side. We played games like Carrom,Uno and I spy. After that we had lunch. For lunch there was pulau, raitha and red rice. After that my mother and father slept. My cousin sister and I played cricket.

Day 2

We all woke up at 7:00 am. I brushed my teeth and had my milk. After that my sister, my father and I washed our car. This is the third time that I am cleaning my car. When we went to Kotekar once before I cleaned it. Here is a picture that show us cleaning the car:


I love to clean our car. It is a lot of fun. My father says that I can clean the car better than our car-cleaner!!! After cleaning the car we had our breakfast. For breakfast there was red-rice and pickle. Then I had my bath. After that my parents and my sister had bath. In the morning I played a lot. After that in the evening we went to visit some more people. Next morning we left to meet someone in Kundapur and then went to Manipal (city not hospital).

Manipal
Day 1
We reached Manipal at 5:30 p.m. We were really tired so we had an early dinner and slept.

Day 2
We all woke up at 7:00 a.m. We quickly had our bath and our breakfast. After that my family and I left to Malpe to take a boat to St. Mary's island! In Malpe we saw many boats waiting to go fishing. We asked a man, "how many days do you go fishing?" The man said that some small boats go for 5 days some go for 10-15 days. After that we went to take a boat to St. Mary's Island. We went and asked what time the boat would leave. They said that the boat would leave only when there were 30 passengers!! At that time only 2 passengers had come!! The boatman told us that the boat would leave around 10:30 a.m. It was only 9:30 a.m!! So we went to the beach nearby. At 10:00 a.m we came back. Only 16 passengers were there. Even at 10.30a.m there were only 16 passengers. So we went home. In the house I read some books till lunch time. After lunch I again read. I finished 3 Junie B. Jones books, and 1 Magic Tree House book. In the evening we went to the beach. On the beach I mostly played in the sand because the sea was very rough. My father bought a kite. Then I wanted to fly it. But suddenly the thread broke off the kite flew away. But we were really lucky because the thread got stuck on some dry shrub! So we got it back but when I was taking it back, it slipped from my hand and flew away again! But then my father caught it. After that my sister and I flew it till it was time to go home. In the house we had bath. After that we had our dinner and slept.

Day 3
My family and I woke up at 8:00 am. We had our breakfast. After that we cleaned the car. After that I had my bath. Then I started to read the Magic Tree House. I read a little and watched television. Then I had my breakfast. I read some books. Then it was lunch time. I ate my food. After that I read a little and played on the computer. We slept early. The next day we woke up and left to Puttur. In Puttur there was a naming ceremony for my baby cousin. After the naming ceremony my 2 Bangalore cousins, their mother and my grand-aunt came in our car to Bangalore. At 05:00 p.m we had a coffee break. We reached Bangalore at 10:00 p.m. We went to our cousins house at 10:45 p.m. In their house we had pizza for dinner. Then we dropped my grand-aunt in their house. Then we came to our house. My family slept immediately. That was "THE END" of my HOLIDAY....

The Great Omani Coastal Route

Route 15 : Muscat-Nizwa The parents, seemingly forever, had been planning a trip to Oman. Why Oman? Well, that’s a question I asked myself too. My dad, in the 90s, spent close to a decade in the UAE but barring a work trip, had never visited Oman. Fast forward to the 21 st   century, countless Oman Air flights from India to Europe later, he found himself stranded in Muscat. A ‘technical difficulty’ they said. He visited the Sultan Qaboos Mosque but didn’t get to see much more – it was only a 24-hour layover. However, the constant propaganda he was subjected to via the in-flight entertainment, and the cabin crew he made conversation with, convinced him that the country has a lot to offer. A friend from the UAE, who spoke highly of Oman, apparently also played a role.     The parents had their mind set on Oman. The stars aligned and clubbing together a bunch of bank holidays in India, they decided on visiting in April. Unfortunately, or fortunately (the jury is still out), ...

Sustainable Bitcoin Mining

Source Bitcoin mining has become popular amongst people with large data processors and also fintech-geeks who are interested in the world of mining. Mining is at times not very profitable due to the increase in complexity of problems given to miners (as more and more Bitcoins are mined) and electricity and other expensive overheads. According to NZ Herald , "Bitcoin mining uses so much energy that it could cause blackouts". The repercussions due to this is that an American city known as Platssburgh has already banned cryptocurrency mining for 18 months and Iceland believes that more energy will be used to mine Bitcoin rather than power their houses this year! The need for a sustainable model for mining is prevalent. With the introduction of cloud mining, many "non-techy" users have been able to mine Bitcoins by buying Hash power from various companies and making them mine Bitcoins for you. All you need to do is invest a particular amount and leave the rest of...

Life Updates - 2020 (Part 1 of 2)

You may remember my post from about two years ago when I wrote a rather detailed essay on my personal life. The aim of this post is similar; provide an update on what I have been up to, life lessons, challenges, what my future is, and what I envisage it to be. This post is not going to be an extended personal statement that one would generally see me writing for college but includes a more personal touch and less about specific and individual achievements of mine over the last two years. Certain exceptions do exist. The article is going to be divided into two parts. This one will talk about school, college and life in general. It is more of a report if I can call it that. The second article will be about what I have learnt in the last two years. It is a bit philosophical, so I figured that not as many people might be interested in reading it.  School In 2018, I changed schools and ended up studying at Mallya Aditi International School, which, despite its ups and do...

Cake Models

My sister taught me how to make cake models. It is very easy. If you want to learn how to make it continue reading my blog. Materials required: 1/4 mug water Powder 2 Bowls cloth clay Kumkum    Newspaper Powder Make the clay any shape you want. (remember that is going to be the shape of your cake). Make it flat at the bottom so that it can stand well. Take the kumkum and powder and mix well. Make sure it is not too thick or not too watery. Spread the mixture on the cake and design the cake however you want. You can experiment by using different things to change the colours.

Ather Energy - Electric Scooters that compete with Aprilias and Vespas

Ather Energy, a Bengaluru based start up created by former IITians finally unveiled their electric scooters - Ather 340 and the Ather 450. Priced slightly on the higher side at INR 1.09 L and 1.24L (on road - Bengaluru) including the FAME subsidy and all taxes, the scooters are exciting and a must try for scooter buyers who do not mind shelling out a little more money than a mid-range scooter would cost and do not mind using it primarily for short distance commutes. Ather 450 Their showroom is located on 100ft Road in Indiranagar. You can visit them at any time and their staff is extremely accomadating and will help you with any queries that you may have. If there is not too much of a crowd, they will allow you to take a test ride too. Ather opened their showroom today (8th, June, 2018). I visited them and was mighty pleased with what they were doing. In an interesting conversation with Mr. Swapnil Jain , the humble and down to earth Co-Founder and CTO, I learnt a lot abo...

The concept of privilege and how I was blind to it

This is an essay that  I  wrote as part of my Ashoka University application process. The reason for uploading it is that the concept of privilege that I write about, has impacted me and moulded my political ideology. Do give it a read, it may make you reconsider your opinions too! Write about an experience from your past, which has significantly shaped you as a person and your perspective(s) on life. Elaborate upon the experience, your personal engagement with it, and the manner in which it has changed you. Provide other relevant details to help us better understand you.   (Maximum Word Limit - 450 words)   *   I am born into a family of privilege, and until I undertook courses on sociology and political science, I was blind to it. I reaped the benefits of being privileged – I am a Hindu, male whose family could afford my education and three square meals a day. I have been extensively educated in good private schools, and the opportunity to avail outs...
