Lake Nessi AKA Loch Ness: Water Water Everywhere...

 


Brentwood (United Kingdom), 26 August: The next day we went to see Lake Nessi also pronounced as Loch Ness in Sweedish. Loch Ness is a freshwater lake. It extends nearly to 37 kilometres and flows from North to South. 


Cryptozoological Loch Ness monster: It is also famous for its claimed sighting of the cryptozoological Loch Ness monster, also known as the Nessie. It is one of a series of interconnected murky bodies of water in Scotland River. Ness leads to the North Sea via Moray Firth. 


Not been proven authentically. Loch Ness is also known as the home of the mythical character Loch Ness Monster. Though many claims have been made regarding its existence, due to a lack of proper proof, it has not been proven authentically.


The feeling of watching a sea: The Lake looks very huge and at times gives the feeling of watching a sea. We spent some time on the beach and proceeded way back to the Caravan. We came across so many hillocks and all along we could witness waterfalls dipping down from the top. The same slender falls later get transformed into streams and it is a great experience watching them flowing down and forming streams. 


A rare sight of beauty: We can see water everywhere and moss with grass growing on it making it a rare treat to the eyes, which is why the tourists throng to have a glance. One can find countless lakes as far as the eye can stretch. On the whole, it is a rare sight of beauty. 


Countless snaps to do landscape paintings: Suri and Maruti kept themselves busy by clicking countless snaps to do landscape paintings after returning home. 


Admission to see closed: On the way back we went to a whiskey distillery. Unfortunately, admission to see the factory was closed. However, they were offering the whiskey samples for tasting. 


Group of tourists found scrambling for whiskey samples: There was a group of tourists from India who were found scrambling around for whiskey samples!

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...
