It's been quite long since I've written anything on my blog. I've been pretty much occupied with important orks. Hope my readers will get back to the blog soon.

Thank you and visit again. Your time in my blog is very much precious to me and highly valued.

Nestled in the Uttaranchal Himalayas, Nainital is one of northern India's oldest hill resorts- a pretty lake town and Kumaon's largest settlement. A convenient getaway from the plains of northern India, this is a picturesque little town, centred around a limpid blue lake and replete with enchanting colonial buildings, winding pathways and some of the most exquisite views you'll see of the Kumaon hills.The Naini Tal or lake, shaped like the eye (`nain') from which it draws its name, is the focal point of the town. Surrounded by seven hills known as the Saptshring, the lake is a hot favourite with boaters.

On the shores of the lake are many of Nainital's most interesting sights, like the Temple of Naina Devi, the presiding deity of the town; the colonial-era Church of St John in the Wilderness, and the nearby Secretariat building, designed by the same architect who planned the grand Mumbai Central and Victoria Terminus stations in Mumbai.

As in almost every other Raj-era hillstation, here too there's a Mall, where the town's many shops are concentrated. Visitors can take a ropeway from the Mall to the peak known asSnowview- a great place for a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. If you're in an adventurous mood, you could trudge along further, to Naina Peak, also known for its stunning views. The State Observatory and the Hanuman Garhi temple, off the road to Haldwani, also rank high up on the list of must-visit places, as does Dorothy's Seat, named for an unfortunate British lady who died at the spot in an accident; and Land's End, near the lake. Those wishing to wander further afield can make tracks for the gorgeous Sat Tal- the seven lakes which lie just about 21 km from Nainital; or for Bhimtal and Naukuchiyatal, both lovely and good for picnics or boating. 

Nainital awaits. Cool, pleasant, and with loads of opportunities for enjoying yourself, for unwinding and for cooling off.

Getting to Nainital

The nearest airport is at Pantnagar, 72 kms from Nainital, and with connecting bus services and private taxis to Nainital. The closest railhead is at Kathgodam, 40 km south, and with links to Agra, Bareilly, Lucknow and Delhi. From Kathgodam you can take a hired taxi or bus to Nainital. Two main highways come in to Nainital, one to the south at Tallital (which receives traffic from the plains) and the other to the head of the lake at Mallital (where traffic from Ramnagar and the Corbett National Park arrives). Buses ply regularly between Nainital and major northern cities, including Delhi.

Best time to visit Nainital

The best seasons to visit Nainital are from March till June and again in September-October; an Autumn Festival is organised at Nainital in October. In May and June the town usually gets very crowded due to the rush of tourists escaping the hot summer of the plains. 

Accommodation in Nainital

Nainital has a host of expensive hotels as well as middle rung and budget accommodation. Rates during the peak tourist season (May to July) are usually very high; at other times it is possible to get hefty discounts. Most of the upmarket hotels are situated around Mallital on the northern edge of the lake, while budget rooms are available around Tallital, towards the southern side. There are also touristrest houses run by the state tourist board.

This is about an incident not so uncommon to all of us. Almost everybody, everyone must have gone through this, must have seen this, must have lived with this and may die with it without giving a thought over this. I am not a social worker, neither am rich nor can do much for those poors poorer than me. But, I have this feeling in me that I should have done more for them, atleast upto what I could have done.

In that compartment of the sleeper class there were 14 of them, a mother, a father and a very old woman with thick glasses on a broken frame with their family of 11 childern with 9 girls. All of them within the range of 7 to 8 years, most of which seemed to have a gap of only few months . They were shifthing home from Delhi to Guahati, Assam. The compartment was full with their things wrapped in the torned cement bags. The colour of the dresses the children were wearing was hard to make out as they were really dirty. Most of them were almost black as it seems to me but, I knew it was not the original colour. It was not a healthy environment there and I am sure anyone would not want to have a journey with them for a whole night and a whole day. Me and my friend never even bother to come down from our top decks, we were there for almost half of our journey. I kept on looking at those children. I saw a lot of things about them during that journey and tried to imagine how their lives would have been, what would become of those children. 

I had a brief conversation with the eldermost son, the ninth child of the family. He was Bapan and his mother called him Bappu with much care. He told that he was the only one in his family to go to school and was recalling some other stories. He was so frank as if he knew me well from before. At a station somewhere, the train stop for a minute. There we saw some men cleaning the mess that the passengers made. Bappu pointed his finger at a man with a broom among the men and said "My father used to do that, but he doesn't get much money". Then, he pointed at a man in the same group with a little better dress with an old shabby black coat that appeared to be brown. He then said "My uncle has the same coat, and he has a lot of money". I don't know what induced him to utter these words all of a sudden, but, I could see the difference in his eyes when he told me. Just after that insant I saw a woman with a baby in her laps sweeping the compartment floor. After she had finished she came back asking for a little favour for her service. Some gave a rupee and some two. The child took out the 5 rupees note that I gave him to buy sweets and handed it over to the woman and ask her to return a rupee. The woman returned two coins of one rupee, smiled a little, put her hand over the head of Bappu and then she left.

I felt ashamed of myself. Instantly I felt far below my level. The small kid taught me humanity. How to help someone in need ?  

I believe I can be a better person.

For any firm, the primary objective has been the maximization of the profit the business would give and this has to be your target too, if you own a business of your own. But, the large number of product competition in the market is going to pose you a great hinderence to the process. It is extremely difficult for anyone to hold the market all for him and by himself. One has to go on increasing the sales and the number of customers.

One easy and effective means of maximizing the number of customers that would buy your product is the blog advertising. Whether it is for a very small firm or a large company, the means is equally effective for both. Blog advertising is a platform where the advertisers meet the bloggers. This is effective in terms of the money spent on advertising and promoting the products and services of the firm. Also, it provides a large number of potential customers which includes the visitors to the blog and the blogger itself. In the present market situation blog advertising and blog marketing is always recommended above all as it minimizes the cost of advertising and maximizes the number of customers which leads to the growth of the business. Many companies have achieved their target from this system. If the product or the service is of use to the blog hoppers then the firm earns one more potential customer. You can know more about why the blog advertising is considered the best method of blog promotion in ‘22 reasons why blog advertising is the best promoting method’.

If you are a blogger you can earn some extra income by registering as a publisher to one of such platforms. You don’t need to do anything, just promote the product or services, they will pay you. If you are an advertiser, you can reach more people - your potential customers, register as an advertiser.

I decided to go for the first option, as my knowledge of html is almost nill. This option is preferably better for me. It instructs me to enter a blog post conataining the link below as

I hope this works.

These thought has always been with me since I gained senses. I have always wondered about death and have never been that much attached to life. Infact, i have always sensed and believed that i would die at the age of 40, exactly on my birthdate. Now, if somebody ask my why so, I DON'T HAVE THE DAMN ANSWER. It is just something like a voice from my inner soul and it has never been wrong with me. Whatever that I have felt has always came true. May be I have got a stronger sixth sense. 

I hope this one is also going to come true. As evidence, I will narrate some incidents that have been part of my life. 

1. When i was in the second year of my Engineering, I felt down from a 10 meter high ladder with my face on the ground. That morning I still remember I had so many slips from my hand, almost broke a dozen of glasses. Then, in the afternoon, I slipped from the ladder and I almost died.  

2. This second incident in the list has been my most painful day till now. In the morning, I felt something not right within. I had no problems at that time, everything was going so well. But, still something very bad kept me occupied the whole day. While I was returning from class, that maroon coloured checked half shirt that my girlfriend gave me got torned out of nowhere. I loved that shirt and she was my whole world ( Ofcourse, my parents are there in their place). In the late evening she called me up as usual. But, that one was for a different purpose. She decided to leave me, it came just like a 100000 million volt lightning to me. I got dumped ( feel sorry for myself saying this, but fact is fact ). U won't believe, I slept for two whole days after taking 15 sleeping pills that night. (I was a great fool I agree and readers please leave no comments for my stupidity, i'm already aware of that )

3. The summer vacation this year, i had to cancel my ticket for the journey back to home because of ankle fracture while playing badminton in the morning that day itself. The next morning i heard the same bus got overturned and fell into the river. 

There are a number of cases like these and it will take atleast three days if I were to write all about those. These are the major incidents. And I belief, my dear readers might be convinced that my sixth sense is quite strong. 

Now, my point is that, if these have been all true then the belief and the sense of the death at 40 will also be true. To add to it, here is another fact. At the age of 21 I was diagnosed of ALS meaning Amyotropic lateral Schlerosis and death occurs due to the failure of respiratory organs. Now, my readers may say that I will survive this one too as I have been surviving all the others. Yeah, I will ask the same, but this one is different as I felt I am dying unlike those in which I felt I will be alright. 

Whatever, I am just sharing my feelings with my readers. God knows the fate, not me.
