Drachenfels (Bad Dürkheim) Stretch: 10 km, Elevation 570m

Image
As a team, we finally narrowed it down to this spot for trekking. We, as usual packed all the necessary stuffs; by necessary, I mean here, of course, the eatables, rest for us if of least importance. We boarded in two cars, and on the way, we picked Shan and Nithya, who wanted to experience their first “ Wandern into the jungle ”. After a 45-min drive to the destination, where we crossed small towns and hills, we left the cars at the parkplatz and moved on following our trekking lead, Suba, who led us the path with a map in his mobile. The first stretch of 2 km was hard, and most of our energy was dispelled by the time, we were done with this stretch. As, the elevation kept on growing, we paused for several minutes on the way to grasp for some air, before embarking further, until we arrived at a spot (where a platform has been setup, to have a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape), envisaging the entire Pfälzer wald . If not for this spot, we wouldn't have zeroed on

Euro-cstasy

From Amsterdam to Zadar, from Beethoven to Van Gogh , Europe is filled with little symphonies which tickles the minds of all ages. Every time, you visit a certain destination you are convinced that this should be on the top of your list of things to cherish for life; only to be strike-out a few days later, as something else tops the list. Watching the breathtaking landscapes of the Swiss and the Majestic Roman remains, you are going to witness the beauty of the almighty and his subordinates. From, walking down the streets of Champs-Elysees in Paris, to enjoying a Gondola ride in Venice, zipping past in the fastest train, through the tunnels in Switzerland, and paragliding above the lakes of Interlaken, you will experience, not just the view, instead submerge yourselves in those small moments of ecstasy. It’s an experience that would last for your life time. Assured those captured moments can go viral, instagramming and whatsapping, your friends and colleagues about the trip and ma

Beliefs- Do you mind

Abstract There is a common belief, that when the whole world believes in something, there are certainly some people, who are not going to believe it, and have their own theories or ideologies behind that and they simply reject, with no belief in that particular matter. In this, I emphasize on the human beliefs and their psychology of the mind, and what intrigues them when it comes to certain topics like their beliefs in `God'. To dig deep, I believe, it also reveals a lot about ones individuality. The environment, education and culture plays a vital role in imparting certain beliefs and rejecting some and it can also be that we may have inherited certain beliefs. Do these beliefs really signify something in our lives or they just an alliance between beliefs and illusion - the `Belusion'. 1 Beliefs and lives Beliefs can be classified as strong and weak beliefs. If we heard that, it is snowing in Madurai would we believe, I don´t think so, we may believe unless and until

Fahrrad tour - Into the country side

Image
--> Date: Somewhere in July Venue: 15kms away from Dortmund The clock showed 8.14 am and we were so early out of the bed in spite of being a weekend, which normally doesn’t matter to me. We all decided to meet half-past eight at the Dorstfeld Süd Hbf. As anticipated, everyone arrived on time and as usual Suba joined us lately. Being the chief-architect we hoped that suba and palani did their research for the journey. The DB (Deutsche bahn) immer punctual, arrived sharply at 8.20; and as the train cruises in, Suba told us that he has forgotten to bring the plan for the journey (which he had printed last night and would be lying on his table untouched). The first hurdle in our journey, nevertheless we were still determined to go ahead and asked Suba to meet us later in a common point and Eshwar accompanies him. At 11 am Suba arrived at the meeting point and we were busy making some paper work and finally we got our bikes (not the Yamaha 150 cc) but the self-powered
