Himachal Trip -The Great Fall
It was 04:30 am. The alarm rang. Within the first ring of the alarm, I was wide awake. Usually, I snooze the alarm five to six times before I force myself to wake up, but not today. The day had finally arrived. The four of us, Aman, Rohit, Pratyaksh and I were going to Manali for our trip. This trip was a long time coming. I still remember how all of us, in our school days, used to plan all our trips and would never do them, but we used to plan them anyway for the fun of it. But, at last, we were finally putting our plan into action. This trip was spontaneous, and initially, planned as a joke. But somehow this naive pointless joke of ours became one of the best trips of our life.

Birdcage
Sara sighed as she assessed her own image reflected back to her in the full-length hotel mirror. She looks forward to these bi-annual work conferences; small respites from the everyday that can be viciously ordinary. She wears a sundress that flows to her ankles, black of course, but with white pinstripes. Sessions were over for the day apart from a reception at 6 – Luau themed. The idea of these things makes Sara cringe, but there are free drinks and prizes involved so she grins and bears it.

The Cathedral of the Most Holy Rosary...
The city of Joy had witnessed history over a huge period of time dating back to1686 when it was established as a British colony, and named by Job Charnock. The Calcutta High Court ruled in 2003. that Job Charnock, generally believed to be the founder of the Calcutta, is not the founder of the city and that hence Kolkata has no birthday. According to the Court, the city has its genesis in the Maurya and Gupta period and it was an established trading post long before the Slave Dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughals, the Portuguese, the French or the East India Company established a modern township there. Before the establishment of the city, it was a piece of marshy land owned by Zamindars at that time and was divided into three villages namely Gobindapur in the east, Sutanati in the north and Kalikata in the south.

The Lost Girl From Cincinatti
The bright lights force me to squint. They are hot, like the celebrities always say. I have spent the last hour in hair and makeup. I can’t decide who or what they want me to be. This skintight outfit covered in sequins is suffocating, but it does shimmer in the bright lights. I make a pouty face because the director keeps making hand motions like fish gills and I’m assuming that’s what he wants. I don’t speak Korean and he doesn’t speak English. I motion to my translator, but he just laughs. I don’t think he knows what the director wants either. Eventually, the translator tells me to “sparkle.” How am I supposed to do that? I suck in my stomach, flip my hair, and smile awkwardly at the camera. I do my best to appear sexy or strong anything but shy. Am I sparkling yet?

Hereford Cathedral
The beginnings of Hereford Cathedral Hereford has had a cathedral since the 8th century, although the Saxon building that contained the remains of St Ethelbert (a murdered king of the East Anglians) was destroyed in 1055. Bishop Robert de Lotharingia built a small chapel on the site in 1079, but very little of this remains. It was not until Bishop Reinhelm came along (bishopric 1107-1115) that anything substantial in the way of a cathedral was built, in the Romanesque style, although that was by no means the end of the story.

The Giu Monastery and the story of a 500-year-old Mummy
How often do you hear people mentioning the word mummy in reference to India? I think the possibility is zero percentage. The reason behind this is the fact that very few of us know that there is a monastery high up in the mountains of Ladakh, more precisely in the Spiti Valley called the Giu Monastery where a naturally preserved mummy has been kept for five hundred years.

Northernmost Southern BBQ
I live in interior Alaska. Interior Alaska is an land all to its own- we do not have the beautiful mountains that waterfalls flow down like lace. We do not have oceans with Orca's and Blue Whales dancing in the distance while singing a merry tune of Marry Poppins. You will rarely see a picture of interior Alaska on a tourist website- unless you are reading a hunting magazine. No, we are the land of teeny-tiny trees and very long winters. It is considered the most inaccessible place on earth because of the unforgiving terrain, yet almost 100,000 of us live within its massive area.
