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...

Basavanna: Equality, Humanity and Human Rights

Bengaluru: Akshaya Trutiya is the birthday of Lord Basaveshwara or Basavanna, the 12th-century revolutionary poet and religious reformer who rebelled against all blind beliefs, practices and rituals of Hinduism. It also goes to his credit of bringing God to one’s palms while simultaneously and vehemently opposing the tradition of visiting temples and places of pilgrimages in search of the almighty. Interestingly, unfortunately, or sadly what his followers or disciples have been doing all along would be another separate topic for discussion and better to forget for the time being. A Hindu Protestant: Dr Godwin Shiri, former Director of Christian Institute For The Study Of Religion And Society (CISRS), Bengaluru, during an informal interaction, opined-“Basavanna can be aptly described as a Hindu Protestant as he was in the forefront of opposing blind beliefs”. Influenced by Buddha: Mallikarjun G Kelagade, former Director of the Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) kee...

Dharwad's Arya Durga, Rukmini and Saraswati...: From Nothing to Crores and Crores...

Bengaluru: Arya Durga Kirani Stores, with Rukmini and Saraswati outlets, are household names for all those residing in and natives of Dharwad. It was a humble and austere beginning, dating back a few decades, thanks to hard work, sincerity, and trustworthy behaviour with customers, the business flourished and grew in leaps and bounds in an unimaginable proportion. Started working at the age of eight years! The owner, late Gajanan Vitthal Shetti, was primarily from Ankola in the North Canara (Karwar) district. Ankola, a coastal town, is renowned for its Salt Satyagraha during the freedom struggle movement. The financial condition of Shetti's family was too critical, making it too difficult to meet even the basic demands of day-to-day life. He began working at a ration shop while he was only eight years of age and continued working until he became 15 years old. Mahalakshmi Hotel boomerangs: Then Gajanan Vitthal Shetti came to Hubballi to do business. He came with his father, Vitth...
