Nandi Hills 25th September 2011

On 25th September my cousin's family and my family went to Nandi Hills for trekking. I did not expect it to be so easy to climb. There were steps that you could climb on.

We started climbing at 8.00a.m. On the way every 15 to 20 minutes we took a break. There were tall trees almost all the way till the top so we got good shade while climbing. We took 1 hour and 40 minutes to climb up. We ate sandwiches, biscuits and chips along the way and at the top of the hill. There were monkeys on the top so we had to be careful while eating. We had got some rope, my uncle and father held both the ends of the rope and were acting like they were lashing the monkeys to scare them away.   After we finished we met another family at the top, who were also supposed to climb with us but were a bit late to start. We stopped and talked with them for a while in a restaraunt then all of us climbed down together. While we were on the way back, we found a tree where we threw our rope over a branch and made a swing! We also climbed a tree and it was easy to climb because we had a rope. After everyone tried the swing and the tree climbing we started going down. We took 1 hour and 10 minutes to get down the hill. The hill is about 400 metres high. I felt  going up is easier than going down!

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), ...

Visiting the Kasturinagar (KA-03) RTO - a tumultuous but manageable experience to get a Learner's/ Driver's License without an agent/ driving school

Ask anyone, and I can guarantee that they will have a story (and in most cases, many stories) about their trip, or rather, numerous trips to the RTO for something as simple as getting a Learner's License (LL) or a Driver's License (DL). In this blog, I hope to make your life a tad bit easier by guiding you through the entire process, which may seem easy at first but is full of (overcome able) challenges if you know what you are doing. I turned 18 in January this year, and besides cutting a cake, I worked on my LL application online. I challenged myself to complete the entire LL to DL process by myself and without the help of an agent or a driving school, unlike what the majority do. The lengthy application process and multiple visits to the RTO, impressed upon me why most people decided to pay a little extra to get an agent to do it for them. Still, I was determined not to pay a single rupee more than the official cost. I succeeded.  Do note that this answer is concerning the K...
