If Chinese can do... Indians can too.. If they number 1, we at 2

Philosophy is one favorite subject and traveling is something I love... Exploring architecture and nature are my primary interests.

Sunday a sudden plan to Mount Abu and then Nikita, my host in Abu asks if I am keen for Kumbalgarh in Rajasthan, a place famous for its fort. How could I have resisted when I was getting a great company too..

Finally with her bro Angad we drove down on 13th June 17. Ramada Resort we got booked, a great place to stay in. One of New properties in the region, beautifully landscaped, the pool was a priority for us so soon after checking in we just took a plunge.

Kumbalgarh fort... Was what we took off for thereafter. Main attraction of this place out  of the rest of the forts in Rajasthan is it's wall and the temples dotted across in the area.

The wall is 36km long which makes it the second longest wall after The Great Wall of China. The place has 360 temples.. which takes you back to the Rajput era and the significance they gave to deities. The fort had been constructed by Maharana Kumbha.

Dubai - The Greener Pastures

Its not just Oil and Gold, a New world economy, booming and buzzing, attracting all global markets to buy home, setup business and live in a place which is now the new Centre of attraction, to setup Global Headquarters. The Millenial tower - Burj Al Arab  Indians have forgotten Canada and US (seems so..) especially after the setting up new Trump norms... so where do all heads turn and why? 1. Distance : Travel time from Delhi to Dubai is 3.5 hours and if we talk about Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala and Maharashtra they are geographically more towards the west, therefore the travel time to The Emirates is even lesser than any other Indian town on the extreme corner. Therefore, Dubai travel is cost effective and easily accessible. 2. Visa : Relaxed norms with consultants from both countries growing in numbers to assist Indians settle in Dubai, both for entrepreneurs and job seekers. 3. Population : Potential of any economy to thrive lies in its people, Population thus holds biggest Poten...

Upcycle Concrete

  Upcycle is an interesting "GREEN" practice nowadays followed by many!! For goods and commodities its good, but in the era of shifting sands, preferences, fast evolutionary changes, the need and demand for more excitement the malls, unlike old markets, have a very short life span. A decade is quite long, then they slowly organically fade out. Ahmedabad, unlike the metros is quick silver. The life span of malls is shorter than those in metros.. few which have swept off infront of our eyes in two decades are; Gulmohar, Fun Republic, Gallops etc. Gallops though with best brands, infrastructure couldn't survive the cost concious market. Two days ago I happened to step into Iscon mega Mall, Mega like the word suggests, its gigantic. Reliance hyper market was inaugurated on 15th August 2006 by Sh Mukesh Ambani, it was his big bang entry into retail segment. In this mega structure, today hardly 10% area is functional, rest is all unused.  If Westside and Reliance are functional...
