Travelling
I jus love to move around
. I have inherited it from my folks. till now I've only been moving around
India, & found it to b huge, in terms of land, geographical diversity,
attitudes of ppl, customs practiced in the various parts of the country.
These r jus Some of the places I've been to & my impressions of them
Kashmir
Paradise itself may
not b as beautiful. With its rivers & mountain ranges With snow covered
peaks it's is a great place to visit. Ppl r nice warm & friendly With
nice lovely rosy cheeks. I had my first & last of experience of snow
out in this most northern state of India. Srinigar, Jammu, Pahalgam, Gulmarg
r the sights to b seen
Himachal Pradesh
Simla the small town-capital
of this hilly ,apple growing state. The apples r lusciously sweet &
so r The folks hard working, Kasauli a sleepy little hill station
With an airfare base With a breathtaking view of The Himalayas & serenity
peace & quiet u find in The metros only after 2 AM in The morning.
Dharamsala is one place I have to go yet (heard a lot of raves about it)
Uttar pradesh
I have traveled in the
hilly region of this state ; Naintal, Mussorie both r lovely places
worth visiting With their tals or lakes. Corbett national park is a wonderful
place for nature lovers.
Maharashtra
The most industrialized state
in The country & my home state. Bombay The only metro in India.
to have a really effective transportation system Ppl out here r open to
ideas & r workaholics. Has Some lovely beaches as well as hill stations.
Alibag, Mahad, Ganpatipule being some of The beaches, mahableshwar, panchgani
& matheran making up the better known hill stations. Ppl in general
a bit on the easy goin side.
Goa
The beach state a small speck of a a state With 60 kms x
60 kms. Ppl r friendly & r very easy goin. Loads of booze shops
on every street. Some lovely beaches & nice setup for transportation
where u can get hold of 2-wheelers as well as buses connecting most places.
Soaked in Portuguese history With its churches.
I'd love to visit Lakshwadeep
islands, Coorg (Karnataka), Darjeeling, Sikkim & Kerala But this is
jus India. & The whole world is yet to b mapped..........
Soccer
(football)
I simply cant get enuf of
this game, still try to keep in touch. I'm a huge fan of Manchester United.
Great team With fantastic & exciting stars like Beckham, Solskjaer,
Staam,......
With The national sides I
like The Dutch side The best, a bit better than The naturals at The game
,The Brazilians, kluivert, overmaars, bergkamp, de boers,..... great side ,
they were my favs to win The 98 world cup. The brazilians in this field
r simply cut above The rest. (thats what I feel anyway)
Automobiles
Michael schumacher is without
doubt one of The great drivers in The history of F1 racing. Fantastic
skill & nerves can come back from anywhere to virtually beat The opponents.
He's my fav driver without doubt. My fav dream car is The : Jaguar XK8
or Aston Martin db7; both of them built on The same chassis & same
styling But differ in The capacity of The engines. (which makes up for
most of The difference). I also particularly like The Dodge Ram &
The Viper which share The same massive, all-powerful V-10. chevy corvette's
without doubt r one of The best lookers With great performance. Merc's
,Bentley's & Rolls' r obviously The ultimate in snobbery.
