New Experience

It has been two years, since i purchased the domain smartchandra.com . I didn’t manage to post any thing so far. I was more inspired from http://smartpandian.com maintained by AAA. Thanks Arun, for inspiring me and repeatedly encouraging me write.

When i bought this domain in 2008, i thought i really have to write some thing different, interesting…. I used to spend days in preparing for some topic and give it up later.

Below are gist of those shelved topics.

Andaman Trip (2008)

One of the most beautiful islands i have ever visited. Where else in this world, you will get to see clean pure blue ocean surrounded by mountains which is covered/decorated fully with thick, green forests. Explored the forest, had long walks in hilly areas, floated/swam Hrs in the beaches. The Andaman jail, the baratang back water river, wasaga beach, corbyn cove beach, Ross/Viper/Northbay islands, the lime stones, port plair city, spicy south indian food, fish gravies etc, etc.

Andaman - Ross Island

Have you ever traveled in a small ship, when there is a storm alert in the sea.
I went through those horrible moments. I literally prayed god to some how let my family know about my salary/NRI A/C details to claim all my money.
Due to that bad weather, we couldn’t reach havelock island. But we didn’t want to miss that fun. Got down from the ship, went to corbyn cove beach and enjoyed swimming/playing in the sea with heavy wind and heavy rain. You don’t get those moments every now and then in your life.

Andaman – a dreaming spot for youth, families, honey-moon couples, any body. It just costed me 15,000 for the whole trip (out of which 11,000 for flights, now the flight charges are even cheaper). Don’t opt for any packages from net, just go and stay in any hotel, they will help you travel.

Ladakh trip (2009)

A heavenly location. Yes truly. At times, you forget you are in earth, you all the way travel to moon, saturn, heaven. We spent 9 days for the trip, wish i should have got 2 more weeks of leave.

It’s not easy to go from one place to other place in ladak. The important visiting places are far away from each other and there are no proper road. It will be a tiring journey, but by the time you land on the places, you would forget your tiredness.

Some of the important places.

Pangong Lake:- This is a world famous lake in the india-china border. 1/3 of the lake resides in china. The lake is surrounded by blocks of mountains. As the ladak stands roughly 3,500m from sea level, plants cannot survive there, all those are dry mountains with just rock, stones, sands. In pangong lake, if you stay from morning to night, you would see that the lake and mountains would keep changing it’s colors as the sun moves on. As you walk on lake’s shore, you will witness different colors of water surrounded by different colored mountains.

Hmm, I will stop at this point. May be, i will see if i can write a separate blog for the trips alone.

I hope, i will continue to write more.
