A few travel photos

Gangtok-Sikkim: Actuall this was on the road from Gangtok to Nathu La.

Hikkaduwa-Sri Lanka: Sunset at the Hikkaduwa beach 130 Km south of Colombo.

Kadavu-Kerala: The Feroke river. This also happens to be the view out of our room at the Kadavu resorts.

Vythri-Kerala: This little waterfall is a short walk from the vythri resorts.

Thekkady- Kerala: The Bamboo Grove Eco Lodge located at the fringe of the Periyar tiger reserve. We saw a lot of elephants and leeches, tigers were on short supply though.

To be continued.......

Funny Money

The last few months I have been traveling like there is no tomorrow. Armageddon is always round the corner. There are enough nuclear weapons in this world to vaporize the planet two hundred times over; one never knows when a ‘world leader’ might hit the nuclear launch switch instead of his bedroom light. And there are places to see and things to do before that happens. But that doesn’t give me a reason to live life to its hilt said a few learned people who have done some amazing things in life, like earn a lot of money that is rotting in the bank. (Ok that was a bit of exaggeration; no one ever interferes with my life, thank god for small mercies).
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against folks whose first priority is moolah. But the fact that they have a mind as large as a chicken'’s asshole and tell the rest of the world how to live their lives pisses me off.
Most people don't seem to have a clue about the fantastic concept called life. For heavens sake, we are the only sentinient beings in this planet. There has to be something that differentiates us from the next species down the food chain. Waking up in the morning and thinking about the next meal is something that a hippopotamus does. How do humans differ except for the fact that they substitute the meal for money? I swear if I ever hear about 'money' during an evening of socialising I will go ballistic. The damn thing is needed, but letting it rule you is a pretty stupid thing to do.
Humanity might be going down the wrong lane with its obsession with all things material. Maybe I am wrong, maybe I am not. I ain't going to be waiting around for a verdict, I need to go buy the lottery ticket for today'’s draw.
