Ahh, Milford Sound; a place where it rains more than a 180 days a year, and where summertime daytime temperatures average only about 67ºF. But, if you let that stop you from even considering visiting this New Zealand South Island spot, you’d be missing out on one of the prettiest places on Earth. And if you don’t believe me, just ask Trip Advisor, where Milford Sound was given a “Travelers’ Choice Destination” Award.

A family visit to the Corbett National Park near Nainital, India. We were in the buffer zone of the National Park and unlikely to see tigers although Forest Rangers told us we may see them if we were luck and choose to take a very early morning safari. A minor error on the part of our jeep driver angered a tusker and for just a moment or so we were in danger of a charge!!

Strange are the tales from the past. I heard about this quaint village near Kullu called Malana where the remnants of Alexander the Great’s soldiers stayed behind and whose lineage lives to date in this remote village? Tales such as these regale you at cocktail parties and at times leave a lasting impact, if the story teller weaves a compelling story. And in this case, an Army Officer certainly did. Likewise I read an interesting article on the origin of the Thiyyas of North Malabarbased on the book “Crete to Kerala” by MM Anand Ram. Both these tales leave a lingering sense of the probable, although not adequately supported by facts.

Ottawa is a great city for the cycling enthusiast to visit. It has close to 300 km (180 miles) of organized cycle paths in the National Capital area. Scenery ranges from the Victorian Architecture of the down town area to various museums. It follows the Ottawa and Rideau rivers and the UN Heritage Rideau Canal. It crosses the 500 acre National Experimental farm which is the largest farm within any city. In Gatienau Quebec it offers a ride to the nearby Gatienau Hills where natures can even include bear sightings. All in all a worthwhile visit.

Nebraska is a state situated in the Midwestern part of the United States. The name of this state has been derived from an Otoe Indian word that means ‘flat water’, for a river called Platte River is flowing through the middle of the state. A number of rivers are there in the state that had contributed to the amalgamation of varied cultures of indigenous people who used to live here before the invasion of Europe. Omaha, Otoe, Pawnee, Ponca, etc. are some of the Native American tribes that used to live here in ancient time.
