Ready for your Dream Holiday?

Have you ever been to a place far away from your home? I have been to places like that many times. Sometime with parents, relatives, friends and even alone.

I live in India which is indeed a great place to be in any holiday season. India has a very big population and with diverse cultural background. To see India you will need at least three to five vacations from your office. Anybody who comes to India gets to see only a part of its culture. As you travel from one state to another you will find that the people here are so different from the other state. There are a lot of difference such as language, food, dress, etc.

So what is your dream holiday? Where do you want to visit this holiday season? Have you booked your seat in any hotels? You must hurry up as seats are being filled up as we speak.

Your hotels for your vacation.

Its again that time of the year when you get your vacation from your office or work. Now all you need to find out is where to have your vacation. You will be searching the internet for various vacation spots all over the world. Be it the US and UK, or may be Europe or perhaps Asia. So how to decide which is the right place to book your space. Hotels all over the world are busy getting clients booked. However, you may still find some hotels that are vacant.

Let us go online and search the Internet. If you live in the US or UK, you may want to visit Asia. And people living outside US and UK will certainly like to visit the United States and Britain. The travel industry is booming and each year it makes good money from the rush they receive. I found so many sites on hotels. Among them the first one was Hotels.com which automatically changed to india.hotels.com after I clicked on the link in Google search results. It is because the site has a local domain and as I am in India so it redirected to the Indian version.

Hotels.com has many features. Such as Find Your Hotel and Top Deals. You can even open an account and login where you can see your Bookings and Saved Hotels. Prices are displayed in local currency so that you do not have to take out your calculator.

The Indian Chicken Curry

This is not the only famous Indian Chicken Curry but it is one of the Chicken Curry cooked by Indians everyday somewhere in India. Almost every non-vegetarian family cooks this delicious dish once a week. Some may cook twice or thrice a week, some everyday. The frequency of cooking Chicken Curry depends on its demand in the family.

Well, lets now talk about the picture above. Its Chicken Curry cooked on a Sunday afternoon here in India. It has all those hot & spicy flavor and the taste of pure curry gravy. This taste good when eaten with Rice. You may garnish with some onion rings and a few green chillies.

West Bengal enjoying the Rains.

West Bengal finally got its much awaited rains after a very long time. People in West Bengal, especially those living in thickly populated cities like Kolkata (Calcutta) needed a rainy day. Power cuts became a very common problem due to power shortage. AC's drew a lot of power. It was only the rains which can convince the owner of AC's to switch off and enjoy the natural cool breeze. Thus reducing the amount of power cuts. I am enjoying the rains too from my home in Shibpur, Howrah. We have power right now, but we had a one hour power cut in the morning. We buy power from CESC Ltd. Its still raining and I hope that the rains will continue. The temperature needs to be reduced. I wonder people who do not have proper cooling systems, how difficult life could be. Surviving these hot seasons have become too difficult.

I was a Short Wave Radio Listener.

I would like to say that I was once a good listener of Short Wave Radio Stations during 1993 to 2003. I used to listen mostly the International Radio Stations. Some of them were BBC World Service, VOA - Voice Of America, Radio Netherlands, DW - Deutsche Welle, Radio Japan, CRI - China Radio International, RSI - Radio Singapore International, Radio Australia, and many more. I send them reception reports and in return I received QSL cards. A QSL card looks like a picture post card. In addition to these cards I used to receive programe guides, stickers and calenders.
