London to Delhi by Road : For Dogs(Animals), Driving and Discovery

kumargandhi — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 05:33:38 +0000

Few days back i have come across this news where two people are travelling almost half the globe for Dogs(Animals),Driving and Discovery.To keep it short they say..

“1 Jeep, 2 People, 15 countries, 8400 miles, 7 weeks – No back up vehicle…just us”

They have a website and keep updated on their journey.I always wish i could do something like that, you know like take the time off and run around the globe .But i wish this couple all the best and luck in their journey and cause.

Yesterday i was asked this question “Hey Twitter is all over the papers,what’s that ??”,i was like “kill me before i answer that question”.Seriously, this is what happens when someone is lost in work or lost somewhere forever,never trying to look around or think out of the BOX. Then i found this cool video and sent him.

Hope this helps him.

2012 : The Ultimate Disaster Thrill Ride.

kumargandhi — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:26:26 +0000

2012, its a wonderfull movie, amazingly directed,beautifully performed.It does not just show the end of the world,it even shows beginning of a new world.Now coming to the story part.Our solor system is on a alignment to the center of the galaxy,so Sun is directly exposed to receive some radiation and Sun burts up some huge explosions with higly radiated particles[mutunt neutrons they called] and these particles hit the earth and penetrate the earth crust and mess up the core, which make’s the crust very unstable.And this part is discoverd by an Indian scientist as the movie starts in India.Now as the US gov is alerted they call upon a meeting and the Nations accross the world decide on a huge mission to build up huge Arks[Ships] which can withstand this catastropy and bring in different forms/species[selected] of life on to the Ark including Humans[selected] and some artifacts to safety and the Date is set 12-21-12 which is also predicted by Mayans for THE END.As the situvation with the earth gets worse there are deadly earth quakes by which the curst falls apart,valcanos around the globe fire up,and the earth curst and continents are shifting very rapidly which produces gigantic Tsumanis’s,and thus giving rise to new continents with new reversed poles.Arks have saved only few hundread thousand people and the remaining are all wipedout or dead.

At the same time the movie also exposes different people and their heroic struggle.These people have wonderfully performed that it even touches your heart.Every one of them did a wonderfull job, director Roland Emmerich has done justice to every character,the special effects in the movie are mind blowing i can’t find words to describe it, at some point i was so frigthened i couldn’t withstand the feeling and walked out of the Theater to get some freash air,it was so scary you know.Now its time for the phrase “Every end is a new beginning mate“.

If this is really gonna happen what you gonna do?.Serioulsy, last week on Nov 12 i read in papers that a meteorite went passing the earth and it was just few hundread miles from impact [half the distance from moon] and it was discovered just before 12 hours from passage.Since, it was just 3mt in size,it would have eventually burned up in the sky, if it was towards the earth.But what if ,it was a huge one and was to impact the earth will that 12hr’s is enough to take any action,wake up fellows.

Ok whatever,finally i give 3.5/5 for the movie 2012.

So what you got this time !?

Actually this year for my birthday i didn’t plan on anything to buy, because few months back i bought this TV.And thought, may be this time have some cool wine and chillout. But guess what, unfortunately i lost my mobile phone just before two days from my birth-day, some Bugger stole it on the Bus[i think].Hence its not possible to stay alive without a mobile, yes i bought one.Actually its this one.It’s a simple one though, which i prefer and has cool MP3 player in it.Its Rs.2,180/- only[if anyone interested].

How i lost it?
I was on my way to my native for the Dewali festival, and it takes few hours from Bangalore city, and i must have taken the Bus in the wrong time[thats what my mom told].I lost it, i dont know how i lost, it must have slipped my trousers pocket or some fellow passanger must have taken for a call or something and forgot to return it.:-).When i finally noticed it, i was like “There’s my present for my Birth-day” .Since i need to make a urgent call i asked this girl near me for her phone.She resisted, ok i understand, no hard feelings, then i thought its better to ask a man, then i went down to an old man and confessed, he was ok and i made the call.Thank you sir.

Then there was my birth-day and a new mobile.Yeah i hate when something happens unplanned.

The next day its the Festival, i had a lot of fun with my Nephew and Niece,and my mother told me this coincedence[festival,Birth-day] had happened on my first actually Birth-day in 1984 and it really did, and she also told me i cried a lot during the festive season[because of the crakers i guess].Yeah even now i go mad for huge noices before turning in to a zombie.And another horrifying incident too took place at the end of the month[31 Oct 1984], its the assasination of then India Prime Minister Madam Indira Gandhi.She was my father’s favorite Prime Minister[mine too],so he finally decided to name me after the Gandhi in honor of her, hence my name Kumar Gandhi.So it was festival,birth-day and Assasination in the same month.Lot of Good and Bad stuff happened in that month uhh.

And in this year i lost my Mobile Phone.

chance

kumargandhi — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:49:49 +0000

Have you ever wondered! from where do we all come from or life on earth come from.I always did and i always explored on that to know more about it.Its actually and always amazing to know how life on earth evolved and exixted for this long, there’s life everywhere, all around you, even at the monitor you are looking at.Its like this, “if given a chance life will always find a way”, yes this is true.Even the complex life on earth has started some where else in a very very very simple way and evolved in to this form, including us the Humans.[Ok i am not a expert here ]

Look in to the sky during night and think once, who are you?,you are on a planet we named earth and there are billions of them in the space which we dont know if life existed on any one of them and we are just a biological matter on a planet in the space , and we dont know if we really existed and its not garunteed to wake up the next morning and live and you only live 1/10000… fraction of secounds in the life period of the earth and finally we are nothing companred to the matter out there in the sky[space] and yet we find differences among us in color,religion and place.

I have good books and documentaries on life and planet.Its a wonderful experiance owning them and i feel this is still not enough, i always wanted to know more and more.And still on the Hunt.

Recentlyi heard about 2012 and its stuff, you know like the end of the world and apocalypse, dont know if its true.But i have a question though, why wait till 2012, what if today is the last day for you on earth, what would you do??????????????????.Can you do anything at all!,Think about it,and even i need to think about it .

I am on a list of things i would like to do before i kick the bucket, you know like The Bucket List., and i have some pretty interesting stuff, i will disclose them on my next post.

Happy Dewali.

Trip to Hogenakkal

kumargandhi — Mon, 11 May 2009 17:08:35 +0000

On 10th may 2009, i went on a trip to Hogenakkal with my friends.We enjoyed a lot there.It is famous for waterfalls on the Cauvery River.We went on boating for few hours on the river and had Fish for the lunch, this Fish is actually bought from the river.Its very fresh and they cook right in front of you and serve you.We had fish crazily,like we never had fish before.We can find few vareities of fish there.

And after all the sight seeing,waterfalls,boating,fish then its time for good oil massage.Native local people do this , it seems to be pretty famous, we can actually find many people having massage from the local people in the open.Even my friends had this.I didn’t had, i am a bit shy you know.

Then we went on swimming in the river for few hours and completely enjoyed the place.We only had less time to spend there for too much excitement, wish we could have come there early in the morning or the day before.Anyways its only 180 KM Apprx.. from Bangalore City, and i think we can go there again.

Enjoy the photos of the trip here.

I have taken these beautiful photos of the amazing place with my wonderful camera.They depict the Culture and Tradition of India.I have even spotted few foreigners who are very much interested in knowing the place and the history relating it.It was great watching them listen to the guide.

It was a wonderful trip, If anyone wants to make a trip to here, give me a call , i will join you. .
