A Great Time On Windermere Lake And Boat Hopping Spree


Brentwood (United Kingdom), 24 August: We had booked a caravan which is a complete house by itself. This caravan has a facility of three bedrooms with two beds in each room and a fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen is really amazing as it is provided with a gas stove (with four burners), utensils, spoons, forks, hot water,  room heaters and dry-kept toilets. Totally, I haven't seen anything like that so far. These caravans are connected to underground toilets and gas connections.


Chetan, extremely innovative and a terrific cook:  We were fortunate to have Chetan with us because he is extremely innovative and a terrific cook. He is multi-talented and a very helpful human being. As I also cook both, vegetarian and non-vegetarian was like a support staff to Chetan. He would also wake us up with beautiful coffee in the cold mornings. The weather was too cold and breezy, yet Chetan would prepare breakfast and lunch for us. 


Like a mother taking care of her children: He would prepare Lemon rice, Puliyogare, Tortillas, Curd rice etc. and take care of us just like a mother taking care of her children, a unique gesture which I can never forget in my life.


In the form of a ribbon: We came to Windermere Lake for our first-day trip to Scotland. This lake is in the form of a Ribbon and that is why it is called 'Ribbon Lake' in Columbia, England and it is part of the lake dish. It is the largest lake in England by length, area and volume. The length of this lake is 18.7 kilometres with a width of 1.50 kilometres and a depth of 219 feet. 


Boat hopping throughout the day: We see a lot of tourists pouring in from everywhere. This is a sweet water lake and we purchased tickets for the whole day trip and went on a boat hopping spree. The boats are beautiful and very well maintained. They also served coffee, beer and other eatables. 


Mount Everest climbers' history in photos and the paraphernalia: We also went to see a castle which is attached to the place. The castle is still in mint condition. We also witnessed an exhibition of Mount Everest climbers' history in photos and the paraphernalia the climbers used. 


English children's book writer Beatrix Potter: The castle's name is Wray Castle. This castle belonged to the famous English children's book writer Beatrix Potter.


A great time on Windermere Lake: We really had a great time on Windermere Lake the whole day on different boasts and at various locations.

When Punjab Chief Minister's Son Was Paraded On Underwear

Year, 1959, Place Amritsar. Some Indian Army Officers & their wives went to the Railway Station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women & tried to molest them. The Army Officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre. The matter was reported to Commanding Officer Col Jyothi Mohan Sen. On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out, the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; he was none other than the son of Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, a close associate of the then PM, Jawahar Lal Nehru. All the goons were stripped to their underwear, paraded in the streets of Amritsar & later interned in the Cantonment. The next day, the Chief Minister became furious & tried to release his son from Indian Army's incarceration. Do you know what happened? His vehicle was not allowed to go into the Cantonment a...

Countries with Surplus Budgets

*By Dr. Devan A budget surplus is one of the clearest signals of fiscal discipline, economic prudence, and long-term stability in governance. While many nations run chronic deficits, there remain countries that stand apart, demonstrating to the world that living within one’s means is not only possible but advantageous. A budget surplus occurs when a government’s revenues exceed its expenditures over a fiscal period. This provides room for investment in infrastructure, health, education, and sovereign wealth funds, while also acting as a shield against future economic downturns. In this essay, I will explore which countries currently maintain budget surpluses, why they succeed in doing so, what structural characteristics enable this, and what lessons deficit-ridden nations may derive from their example. Defining the Budget Surplus A government raises money primarily through taxes, duties, royalties, and state-owned enterprise dividends. Against this revenue, it spends on public wages, d...

World-renowned Cartoonist BG Gujjarappa says: My Best is Yet to Come

Many people are in the fond practice of complaining every now and then that they hardly get any time to pursue their passions. Maybe, they could be genuine in their own ways, but never ever in the case of the veteran artist, political cartoonist, caricaturist, children’s illustrator, and also into multimedia, Banagere Gangaiah Gujjarappa. Perhaps BG Gujjarappa or Gujjar as he is popularly well-known is a household name to readers of Newspapers, Tabloids, Periodicals, and a variety of books for several decades. Hemavathi connection: Sexagenarian BG Gujjarappa (03 June 1955), belongs to Doddabanagere village in the hitherto drought-prone Sira Taluk of Tumakuru district. Doddabanagere also happens to be the last village of Sira Taluk bordering Hemavathi village, an artist’s paradise in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh. The Siddeshwara Temple is renowned for the four famous Shiva shrines as Lord Shiva appears in the human form, like in seated yoga posture, deep in meditation etc. q...
