Bible Verses For Safe Travel

We all travel at some points in our lives, and a prayer for when we travel is important to be sure God knows we want His hand in our vacation, trip or in any journey in which we travel. We all may be good enough in our driving, much aware that there are important travel safety tips we can follow to protect ourselves away from home, but one of the most important is to pray for God to be with us.

Last year was really an amazing year for me as with the grace of the almighty god I had some very good trips and was really lucky to make some fabulous new friends. The best trip which I had last year was My bike trip to Ladakh, or it would be better said to be the trip of my life time. Life itself is often a challenging, dangerous journey, with no clear idea what is over the hill in front of you.  You “lift your eyes unto the hills” and ask from where will help come.  We will all need help and courage in getting over those hills and this can only be fulfilled with the grace of almighty god.

The Lord only can, direct the steps and can provide peace throughout the trip. I know when ever am away from home there are some people back home praying whole time for my return. For all of my family members, relatives and friends I would express my humble thanks, and request to pray for my journey of life as well. One thing I got to know is the point that no matter where you go and whatever you might experience, God is always their watching over you. With all the prayers I would like to add some travel verses from The Holy Bible which will surely be a relief for my future trips and you also can read before and while your trip.

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand. I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing. Turn away from evil and do good; so shall you dwell forever. For the Lord loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever.

Deuteronomy 1:30-31

A Song of Ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me; your right hand will hold me fast.

Delhi – Where My Dil Goes On and On

I have lots of memories of Delhi been flying throughout my mind frequently. I have visited almost every nook and corner of Delhi with my friend. You can call it what you will Dilli or Delhi. Delhi is a city where my dil always wants to be, it’s a city which lives vigorously with a past that remains evocatively present. So when you walk along the bylanes of this imperial city tread with the street food in your hand, every crumbling wall has a story to tell. The ruins and ramparts still stands tall and also the modern huge buildings and skyscrapers which never shadows this ramparts.

With the background of so many historical building and architectural masterpiece there are lots of delicious foods which I love to have all day. In this walled city every nook and corner you can find something to eat. From eateries in the by lanes to five star restaurant the food which has the diversion among will make your mouth and stomach feel amazing. Delhi offers everyone with all Indian and international cuisines in different ambience to suit mixed budgets.

The city is hub for Mughalai and frontier cuisines like tandoori chicken which is extremely popular with Delhites. Parathas at parathe Wali Gali in Chandini chowk, Chaat at Bengali Market and sweetmeats from Annapoorna and Ghantewala can be part of gastronomical tour of Delhi. Delhi Haat is awesome place, offering a range of Indian cuisines from different states at reasonable rate, which is set in midst of crafts bazaar, this open air food stalls are very pleasant place to enjoy food.

Some places I love to go frequently is like India gate, originally called the All India War Memorial. To see the eternal flame, “Amar Jawan Jyothi” which was lit in 1971 to honor the martyrs with lush green lawns, it is perhaps one of the most beautiful areas of New Delhi.  Another place is Qutab Minar, which is the something of a landmark in Delhi. Made of sandstone and decorated with calligraphy, representing verves from the Koran. At the foot of the Qutab Minar, stands the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque which is said to be the India’s oldest. At the corner of the mosque is an Iron Pillar, bearing 4^th century Sanskrit inscriptions of the Gupta period. Other places like Garden Of Five Senses, Lotus Temple, Humayun Tomb, Red Fort, Safdurjung Tomb all are also my favorite.

A Peachy Weekend Bike Ride to Agra

Last Week I had a quite good bike ride to Agra, as my best friend bought a new Royal Enfield Bullet. As he bought a bullet it was like something mandatory to have a good ride, so we choose Agra, as it can be completed in one day. From Delhi to Agra is just 210 Kms and we started our ride at 7 Am. The road to Agra seems really bad as it was really hot and you have to get through dusty way. The scenery is not as better and there is lots of foul smell all the way to Agra. But thing which I was enjoying was the thundering sound of bullet and crispy sound of wind.

On our way we halted first after Palwal in a dhaba for our breakfast. We had onion and aallo parata with curd and after having that we resumed our trip. Day was really hot sweat was overflowing throughout my body. We travelled by Faridabad, Palwal, Hodal then Mathura where we got terrific traffic as it was some pooja going own huge pilgrims were had assembled there and they had messed the road with heavy traffic. To cross Mathura we took 3 hours and it was unbearable because of hot weather. Somehow we manage to get out of traffic and reached Agra. Our plan was to visit Taj Mahal so parked the bike and went to take tickets but while walking we were not feeling good as we want to sit in bike itself. So we went back and took the bike and decided to go back Delhi.

On our way back we had our lunch at Chhata, from a normal Punjabi Dhaba. After having lunch we started to go back Delhi. I actually don’t like the route of Uttar Pradesh, Its very dusty as well as smelly. The road which it likes to travel is like of Punjab and hilly terrains. We were regularly halting for some smoke also whenever we feel sleepy. And by around 1900 Hrs we reached back Delhi and after shanky dropped me at my home he went back. For a break a short ride will make everyone relax and feel free with their busy schedule and a ride to Agra from Delhi is ample for that.

Overwhelming Memories of Loveliest Shimla

Shimla has its own beauty which really somehow attract me to visit this vicinity again and again. I first visited this hill station when I was child with my parents but I don’t remember that. After that I went with my friends while I was perusing my graduation from Sri Venkateswara College, Delhi University.  As the total strength of our tourism batch was week we decided to join with our seniors otherwise our trip might had abandoned so for that we talk with our management and got permission for get tripped with our seniors. Majority people wanted to go to kajarao in Madya Pradesh. We made them convince and we fixed our destination as Shimla only.

We all were so excited that we all were very energetic at our bus, we were dancing, singing entertaining each other, we started our journey by 9 O clock and we got tiered by around 4 Am and had rest for a while. Our route was like this New Delhi, then Sonepat and Panipat after that Karnal for where we halted to be fresh up then Ambala and the way to panchkula then Solan after that Shimla. We didn’t go to Shimla first; our hotel was at Shilon Bagh at Kufri-Chail Road. We had our breakfast in Chail after that move to Mundaghat where our resort named ShilongBagh Resort was booked.

By afternoon we reached at Shilon Resort, I was really impressed with the resort. The ambiance was spectacular. Rooms were simply awesome. As soon as we entered the resort we went to the dining room, as we were really very much hungry.  We had buffet system over there after having the lunch I was eager to explore the resort. Croquet, card room named Paploo Joint was amazing, there was a huge chess board at the terrace, gymnasium named Nirvana was also quite good. We spend much time in playing table tennis. There was a disco deck also which added boost to our night. Mountain covered with pine forest had added splendid beauty to the surrounding and the Churchandi peaks had added more beauty to the resort.

Early morning we got up and went for trekking a hill were we had to visit a temple named Manoon temple. From our resort it was around 3 hours trek and it is located at an amazing location where you can see whole Shimla as bird’s eye view. After this trekking we went to Kufri , Kufri Is a small hill station located near shimla. We reached but I didn’t liked that place because more than snow there was pony shit all around we had to cross over that shit and the shit was almost till our knees. We didn’t want to waste our time here so rushed to Shimla and went Shimla.

The natural beauty of Shimla reflects the beauty of nature which can’t be substitute anywhere else. While visiting you will get the answer why newly wedded couples choose Shimla as their honeymoon destination. The scenic beauty and greenery spread everywhere can make anyone fall in love and you would never want to remove your eyes from this ambiance. Even though we don’t get much time to explore as we reached Shimla late and only the sunset was most admirable to us. We had shopping from the mall road and had some beautiful snapshots. For my parents and friend I bought some souvenirs and we went back to our bus and left to Delhi. We had our dinner in Ambala at a restaurant named Mirchi, and the food was really amazing I enjoyed a lot. As we all got tiered while coming back everyone was sleeping.  We reached back Delhi by 6 Am.

Happy World Tourism Day - 2012

Happy World Tourism Day!!! September 27 is celebrated as World Tourism Day. Just celebrating it as any day is not the motto of tourism Day. Every year there is an agenda or theme which empowers the world to get protected or it can be say it leads a way to act something which protects the whole world. Tourism is one of the world's largest economic sectors and this year it has already taken one big step to protect sustainable energy for all.  With perspective of protecting the sustainable energy new innovative clean energy solutions have been introduced. Important steps have already been taken towards the future by improving energy efficiency, and renewable energy technologies are increasingly being used in its operations. While helping to protect the planet, many of these steps are creating jobs and helping to lift people out of poverty.

Main aim of World Tourism Day is to create awareness among the humanity about the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic value. Telling all of us to work together for our as well as for our next generation with United Nations Millennium Development Goals and to contribute a hope of liveliness to many lives.

In the past decades tourism has grown at its significant with improving a good standard of living and being a helping hand for many needy. Ensuring environmental sustainability is a must do activity. Therefore, it has act with climate change by reducing its emissions of harmful gas, which at present represent 5% of the total. However, tourism not only contributes to global warming: at the same time it can be said also a victim of it. When it comes to talk about “sustainable tourism”, we are not particular on one means; we have to analyze cultural, beach or adventure tourism. Every form and circumstances of tourism must necessarily be sustainable and should be taken into due consideration. It is a fallacious expectation to think that “an immense quantity of energy and resources are available, that it is possible to renew them quickly, hence the negative effects of the exertion of the natural order can be easily absorbed”.

Tourism depends on effective transportation and it is in the transportation industry where many of these innovations are most evident. With an perception of sustainable energy, The aviation industry is implementing new technologies that are reducing the overall weight of aircraft and consequently reducing the amount of fuel consumed. Commercial aircraft are also increasingly using bio fuels in their fuel mix. Large cruise ships have started using of renewable fuel.

Hotels around the world have also become much more energy saving conscious, with energy saving light bulbs showing the right path in many locations. Tour operators are promoting awareness of energy efficient procedures throughout their supply chains. With a clean energy solution we can have a drastic effect on the reduction of the carbon emissions generated by the tourist industry. Being such an enormous global industry, these reductions can make a symbloic difference worldwide.

It has been estimated that during 2012, around a billion international tourists are expected to travel. This presents a major challenge. It is seen as a time to promise to a more sustainable tourism sector, with a sustainable future for all.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, respond these thoughts when he thanked tourists for playing their part in offsetting their own carbon emissions, whether by choosing ecologically friendly destinations and providers, or simply by not having their towels laundered every day. These sustainable energy steps always benefit the world and not just the tourism industry said Mr Rifai (Secretary-General of UNWTO) and he urged all tourism stakeholders, whether they be governments, businesses, or tourists themselves, to play their part in helping to achieve the UN's sustainable energy goals. All of the sectors involved (businesses, local communities, governments and tourists) must be aware of their respective responsibilities in order to achieve sustainable forms of tourism. Collaboration between all the parts involved is necessary.

It’s Hard to Miss Someone Close to your Heart

The departure date is getting closer, so as the feeling of losing someone really close to my heart is also making me deserted. The loss is heavy on my heart, it’s like you loved someone and losing them.  Maybe you hoped for things and they just never panned out. Maybe the people you admired most turned out to be other people entirely. All this is because my dearest friend Aswathy is going abroad to Dubai.

With the help of internet I know I can be connected to her. But the distance between us is sometimes hard to take, isn't it?  When she is with me it was easier to go out for a cup of coffee or give her a hug. Today even sitting with her and moment when talking nothing feels precious, but when she will go, internet or facebook won’t replace her absence.

It’s a crazy dilemma to say that missing someone makes us happy because in a way it does. Why not? Missing someone only means that you have someone special to miss contrary to not missing someone you really don’t have. And It’s also true that missing someone can be very hard and hurtful at times, which is most of the time apart from that special someone. Because you always wish that you have that close and hold them tight. Missing someone messes our brains up, sometimes we think of unthinkable things that I would not want to mention anymore. We wish that they were thinking of us constantly the way we are thinking of them too.

We feel hooked when we think that someone who you care will not be there with you tomorrow. You start feeling from that moment itself that something's missing and for some reason you're feeling empty. I guess that's sign that you're starting to develop feelings towards that missing person. Now just hoping with one array of wisdom that, missing someone gets easier everyday because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day closer to the next time you will.

Am gona miss you, really gona miss u badly.
