Cowboys! for a day I have always been fascinated by different lifestyles that people have. Till recently, I have not seen a lot of lifestyles. Sure people have different jobs and different routine life, but it starts and ends with going to office, coming back and spending time with family. I am not talking about a student or a college hostel life, because in the end they also thrive to follow the same routine. People do have variations in job, but almost all of them have similar lifestyle and same complaints - long working hours, no passion for work, insufficient salaries, etc. I feel people are mostly lost in their routine life and forget their passion and their individuality in the process. Farm House in a forest I met Jess and Lita in Charlottesville - they are an amazing pair. They are both very affectionate and have seen a few more years than us. Lita mentioned she has a horse and since then I was very excited to try my hands on horse riding - and pose like a cow...

I recently purchased a telescope ( AstroMaster 70AZ ) from Amazon and gifted it to my wife ( Juhi Ranjan ) on her birthday. After days of waiting of a clear sky, we finally got our chance on 14th March, 13. We had already adjusted our viewfinder in the daylight by focusing on objects, such as cars, at a distance of around 400 meters from our house. It was an amazing feeling to see distant objects in a clear and crisp manner. We also had skymap  installed on our mobile to locate various planetary bodies at night. We have a considerably big backyard and if there are no clouds we can have a visual treat to stars and most of the constellations. We live in Charlottesville and air is pretty clean here. Once we clear novice level, we can also reach out to McCormick Observatory  which is a mile away from our house, but is located on a hill and gives a much better view of sky.  Image Source At night around 9pm, in chilling cold we took our telescope out. ...

Booking your international flight is a big deal, especially if you are doing it for the first time. Booking process is still simple and straight: go to any of the booking engine, my favorite being expedia.com . Give in your search criterion for flights, choose the best option and book it there itself. However you need to optimize your bookings for various factors such as: Duration of Flight /  Number of hops  - You can sort out your flight choices on expedia.com and other booking engines. Needless to say flights are boring and it is best to keep your duration short. Your flight duration goes up as the number of hops. Expect each hop to delay you by at least 2 hours. Ideally you reach any remote location in at max 3 hops. International flights connect major cities only and expect more hops as your final destination go to tier 2 and tier 3 cities. Expedia gives you all the possible combinations and all you have to do is to choose the ones which are the shortest and satisfy o...

Why this article? My wife requested, asked, warned and then threatened me to write this. Why this article? One year back I was with my school friends in a cafe at Jaipur when I announced my marriage. Folks knew that it was a love marriage but there weren't clear about what's happening. One of them asked me, What is love and why are you even marrying? I told him instantly that I want to spend my life with her and that is why I am marrying her. Yes, to enjoy each other's company is a very important part but then there is also a special feeling which takes it beyond companionship. This feeling has different meaning for different people but I will write here what it means for me :) I will try to put my feelings objectively in following points: Nothing is better than spending time together Selflessness - You get a feeling that it doesn't matter whether you get benefited or your partner in course of action. You start thinking in terms of how it benefits to both ...

During last 2 centuries world has moved towards industrialization and factory institutions. The financial models are more and more based on scale rather than anything else. Globalization has further pumped the industrialization model and products made by industries are targeting wider audiences and are not restricted by geographical locations. In developing economies such as that of India, where industrialization is still penetrating the market, we see that conventional producers are slowly eloping in the shadows of centralized production units. Today customer no more buys goods produced in his locality, but buys what any other guy would have bought in a remote location who may be of a different age, religion, or taste. I am not only talking about good produced but also for services provided. Education, for e.g., has become a factory system where schools as industries are catering a similar product to all its students. 500 students of same class come to school, absorb same curriculu...

I learnt some amazing things on my journey of Traveltriangle.com. Soft skills is also a pie which I learnt from experience and realized how important they are. Following is the summary: I am not always right - It is Ok to put forward your opinion but you need not vouch or defend your opinion against other alternatives. It is very easy to get biased towards your opinion when you put it forward as an alternative. It is important to think from a neutral point of view. Let facts and statistics speak more than your heart. It is fine if you 'let go' of your opinion if you feel other alternatives are as good as yours Play the game - Usually you go all senti about your startup. I learnt that you need to take it more in a sportsmanship way. Strategize, evaluate and plan your company and I am sure there is all the passion and energy that flows in to keep it running. But at the same time do not forget that this is just a game of hits and misses so do not get carried away with result...
