If you go on a vacation in Himachal Pradesh, India, do not forget to visit its capital city known as Shimla. Once you arrived at the picturesque place, you will surely be captivated by its charming and interesting environment.
The main tourist sites at Shimla are The Ridge and Mall. So if you love shopping, you will have a grand shopping spree holiday at Shimla. Another prime tourist spot is the Jakhoo Hill, wherein tourists get to see one spectacular view of the Hanuman Temple and the whole city of Shimla. Shimla's The Mall, located in the area of the Ridge, is always packed with tourists. It is the city's most famous hub, which sells almost everything a tourist shopper can ask for.
In addition, you can also visit and explore Shimla's state museum. It houses a collection of rich heritage treasures in the Indian district of Himachal Pradesh. The art collections include painting, carvings, sculptures, and other archaeological finds. Finally, you must never forget to take a look at the city's beautiful suburb called Mashobra. The tracks of Mashobra lead you to the glade of Sipur. When your stay at Shimla is over, the city's unforgettable sites and historical tourist attractions will surely draw you back for another holiday trip.

 If there is one country full of traditional beliefs and customs, India could be it. India is rich with customary traditions that are practiced way back in the ancient Indian times up to the present day. When you have the time to visit the country, you will never fail to notice the notable practices that Indians have everyday. I believe that India's customs and tradtions are what make the country a prime tourist destination in Asia.

One of the most noted Indian greeting is called the Namaste or Namaskar. It is referred as the common salutation to welcome or greet somebody and is also used to bid goodbye or farewell. As I have observed, the Indians do the Namskar by placing both palms together and raising them below the face. So, what is it about the palms that make such gesture very solemn? You see, the hands symbolize the notion of the self meeting the self. The Indians also claim that both hands indicate the presence of one mind.

Inasmuch as I love flowers, I am truly fascinated by India's garlanding practices. For the Indians, flower garlands are commonly noted as a notation of honor and respect. Garlands are used to greet visitors or as honoring gift to Indians' Goddesses and Gods. The flower garlands are usually made form orange marigold and jasmine flowers. The Indian locals weave the flowers in thread and tie them on the ends by means of a simple knot.

 Ever heard of leisure tour in India? Aren't all tours a leisure already? An Indian tourist guide explained to me that when tourists flocking in India prefers to see all the tourist must-see destinations in their country, that is what Indian locals call leisure tour. Such leisure tours give tourists the recreation they prefer after their very busy schedules. On the other hand, the leisure tours usually cover all the prime areas in India that are very popular among tourists.
Tuesday, August 8. 2006
Now that I have defined what leisure tour is in India, its destinations are the next thing you should know. The major leisure locations in India are the destinations that give tourists fulfilling and healthy recreations, including the bars, restaurants, art galleries, arts and craft centers, theaters, and other noted tourist spots in India. When you get to visit those places, that is when you can say that you have fully experienced what Indian leisure tour is.
Monday, August 7. 2006
The major leisure tour locations in India are not just the country's common tourist locations like the natural landscapes, silver and sandy beaches, hill stations, places and forts, and wildlife and garden sanctuaries. You should also visit famous spiritual and sacred locations in India where you can experience religious elevation, such as the Taj Mahal, the Ladakh, the Varanasi/Benaras, and the Golden Temple.

When touring India, the best city to start is none other than the capital city of Delhi. The place is known as the world's most historical capitals. In fact, two of its monuments, such as the Humayun Tomb and Qutb Minar, are included in the World Heritage Sites. Delhi features a great number of definite tourist hubs to its thousands of visitors each year. The places you should never forget to see are the monuments, mosques and forts, like the Red Fort Delhi.
Saturday, August 5. 2006
Noted as Delhi's pride for a historical fort monument, the Red Fort was established in year 1638 by Emperor Shah Jehan. Inside the magnificent monument are the Diwan-i-am, which is a hall that was once regarded for public audiences; the Diwan-i-Khas, wherein private audiences were allowed; the Rang Mahal, the famous water cooled area for the royal females; and the Pearl Mosque, which is an ornate white marble dream.
Friday, August 4. 2006
 Inside the historical Delhi Fort, the Prime Minister of India has announced the independence of India. On the ground floor of the fort lies the War Memorial Museum. The Public audience hall was built with red sandstones and was set on top of a magnificent plinth. Also, the fort houses the Museum of Archeology that features various artifacts from the royal palace. If you happen to be planning a trip in India, never forget to visit Delhi's Red Fort monument.

“Diverse” is the best term to describe a traditional and modern Indian cuisine. Indian natives claim that their dishes are mainly influenced by their social, environmental, political, and religious factors. Indian dishes are also noted for the essential use of spices and vegetables. Health-conscious freaks will surely be interested to know that the Indian locals balanced diet is among the healthiest meal practice or diet in the whole world.
Wednesday, August 2. 2006
Of course, an excellent Indian cuisine is not complete if specialty desserts are not included in an Indian meal. I am sure that many tourists will enjoy India’s famous dessert called Rasgula. I often encounter those delectable Indian sweets whenever I dine at fine restaurants serving international dishes. In addition, the local scrumptious desserts are typically served in ethnic restaurants in India. It has become my hobby to browse through the Internet for the sweetest dessert recipes, and Indian desserts are among my best finds.
Tuesday, August 1. 2006
 As I have said, Rasgula is a classic example of a scrumptious Indian dessert. It is a milk-based dessert that is a great treat to the sweet dish preference of most Asians. In fact in Nepal, Indian Rasgula is renamed as Rasbari. To make your own Rasgula treat, you need a liter of whole milk, 1/2 cup sugar, three cups of boiling water, lime or lemon juice, and cardamom powder. For the preparation procedures for Rasgula, you can look it up in the Internet if you want.

We all have weird and crazy places here and there in all parts of the world. There are the rough and rugged nighttime streets of New York, in which becomes among the busiest places of the world during the day. You just don't know whether the roughnecks are vampires, or they're just scared shit of the sun! But in India, there's this wild and crazy street called Pahar Ganj, and it's in Delhi. This is a street wherein the combination of the modern digital age and the ancient times vaporize into rather obnoxious clouds of purple smoke.
Sunday, July 30. 2006
Kashmiri businessmen hold a certain notoriety when it comes to street hustling and other rough stuff. Yes, these witty businessmen have migrated into other parts of India because the tourism in Srinigar, Kashmir is in its all-time low. They have, of course, made the actual streets of Delhi as their prime business platform. Yes, specifically the street of Pahar Ganj, and this adds to the craziness of the place! The totally bad reputation of these businessmen is based on the fact that they are, indeed, the smoothest and slickest talkers I have ever heard! If you want to be conned-out of your hard earned cash in a rather smooth way, then you've come to the right place!
Saturday, July 29. 2006
Pahar Ganj has about a ton of shops and whathaveyous that sell almost everything there is to sell! From cheap shirts to food, you name it, and if these stores don't have it, they'll get it for you in a jiffy! Now that's what I call pure customer service. But this place is actually among the bustling communities of Delhi. This street is considered as a prime commercial spot in the city, and prices of land and rent here have tripled over the years. There's even the most revered business establishment in India to be actually found on this street. You guessed right, a cinema! I just can't figure out how so much people could squeeze themselves inside a medium-sized theater house!

In this modern age, scientists and technologists are not only developing satellite mapping technology and handheld equipment. Yes, they're also into biotechnology, specifically genetic engineering and stuff. In addition, this form of technology is thriving in nations that you wouldn't think could possibly operate the necessary research and development. In India, for instance, stem cell actual research is thriving!
Thursday, July 27. 2006
 In India, stem cell actual research has been one of their main concentrations involving biotechnology. Now this country doesn't have the crap we have here when faced with stem cells and stuff. Indian religion, Hinduism, doesn't have the moral implications Christianity imposes on actual stem cell development. Stem cell development is the process of developing human cells in its most primitive form so as to be able to regenerate damaged portions of any human being. Yes, even the human central nervous system!
Wednesday, July 26. 2006
In Hinduism, as long as the process or technology does not have evil intent, nor could harm any living individual, it is allowed. On the other hand, Christianity imposes moral implications on the gathering process of stem cells. You see, stem cells are obtained from human embryos. Now this is also shunned by the Indian government, which has imposed restrictions on human embryos. The government would not allow any human embryo to be cloned for stem cell producing purposes. It is limiting a human embryo's stem cell production system from synthetic systems to purely natural processes.

In this modern age where information is given more importance over a good gourmet meal, the governments of the world are devising ways and means to provide its people easier and more affordable access to computers and computer programs. A computer-literate citizenry would provide faster economic and social growth, which would evidently alleviate present living conditions of all the actual people in such a country. India is one of these countries which sees the potential for economic and social growth through computer-literacy.
Monday, July 24. 2006
India has publicly stated its support behind open source development. The government of this country has also stated how much it would help some of its people who just don't have the money to buy retail computer programs. India has also made available to its people free computer access in its libraries and public offices, which are generally for those who can't afford a computer. Plus, India has also made some new schemes which encourage its people to use digital computing machines, and giving away free CDs is one of these.
Sunday, July 23. 2006
India has publicly stated its interest on encouraging the actual use of digital computing machines of its people. With this, the government of this country is giving away free CDs of actual open source computer programs. The CDs are distributed through broadsheet inserts here and there. Plus, this country's government is also planning to add more public establishments so as to provide its people with free computer access. In addition, the educational institutions of this country are planning to add computer courses on their programs.

 We still instinctively follow our customs even with the advent of fast communication systems. But sometimes, a person's own beliefs and experiences can be totally weird stuff for most of the world, you know. This is what I felt for the woman who actually fell in mad love and eventually married a cobra, which happened in India! Talk about weird, yes, but it's not just her marriage with the cobra that I find creepy. It would be more of this woman falling in mad love with an actual reptile!
Friday, July 21. 2006
The people of India usually have Hindu ceremonies for their weddings, and this is exactly what the woman wanted on the day of her marriage with the cobra. With this, she got what she wanted: a Hindu wedding, complete with priests and all, you know. The wedding was done at the Orissa state, a village somewhere near the capital Bhubaneswar. If you don't find this weird, I think you could easily tell me what the priests were thinking when they married the couple.
Thursday, July 20. 2006
Bimbala Das, dressed in a beautiful silver wedding gown or something, patiently waited for her reptile groom as the wedding commenced. However, as much chanting the priests did that day, the cobra was just damn hesitant to get out of the anthill it lived in! I just don't know why it was a stand-off, but the cobra never actually got out of its home for the wedding ceremony. I think this may be a long-term effect on this woman's psyche, you know. This is because snakes are revered as religious icons in Indian culture.
