New kid on the blog!

I can't sing like Luciano Pavarotti. I can't dance like John Travolta. I can't run the hundred metres in under 10 seconds like Carl Lewis. I can't act like Al Pacino. I can't cook like Anthony Bourdain. I can't write like...wait a minute...I can write...not like Thomas Friedman...but I can write!

There is always a first time to everything, and I must admit that this is my first attempt at writing a blog. So, don’t expect it to be a masterpiece. It could become one though, with your help. 

I will, as my blog name suggests, be as frank and honest about my opinion and point of view as possible. My endeavour will be to present you a new thought each time you visit this space. The topics I choose will be based on current news and happenings but with a wider perspective. I hope to involve as many of you as possible in a dialogue, where different ideas and views are exchanged. 

If you don’t like what I write, tell me. If you like what I write, tell me. If you agree with what my point of view, tell me. If you don’t agree with my point of view, tell me. If you think I write well, tell me. If you think my writing sucks, tell me. I am new to writing blogs, and the only way I will improve is with your help.

I apologise for the inane blabber initially, I just needed some convincing before I got started. I am sure with your support and encouragement, this new kid on the blog will become a professional blogger!

Thanks!

8 tips for first-time trekkers

"Let's go on a trek to the Himalayas!" , who knew these innocent words of my brother in law in April 2014 would land us in one of the most beautiful places on earth and give us some of the most memorable experiences of our lives a year later! Last month (May 22, 2015), he and I embarked on our first high-altitude trek in the Himalayas to Rupin Pass  - 15250ft above sea level, 60+ Kms over 8 days. It was a very well organized trek by India Hikes , one of the oldest trekking companies in India. While a detailed post on our experiences is due, I thought a list (to add to the many I see on my Facebook timeline) of things to remember / do as a first-time trekker might be useful. These are based on our experiences and learning, and is by no means a conclusive guide. The Climb up to the Upper Waterfall 1.  Physical Training before is an absolute must: Treks are physically demanding on the body which means you need to keep yourself in reasonably good shape before yo...

8 ways to say I love you!

A proposal for marriage is expected to be romantic, well planned, and equally well executed. Around 9 years ago, I proposed to the love of my life and it was epic (self-declared)! I have narrated the story of my day-long, themed proposal multiple times, and with 8 years of us being married, I thought for posterity sake, I should document it somewhere...so here goes! It was the September of 2010, when the planning began, and I was sure that I did not want my proposal to be a simple Hollywood style one - with a formal dinner at a fancy restaurant and then the one knee and ring proposal! That one moment would not be able to capture how I felt, so well, I came up with a theme - ‘8 ways to say I love you!’. As it suggests, I used 8 different ways to profess my love to my girlfriend of 8 years! How this unfolded, we shall find out.  Before I started executing my plan, I wanted to get the permission and blessings of both our parents. So without her knowledge, I went over to her place an...

Want to change your life? Go on a trek!

With every passing year, one thinks of all the activities that they could / should have done to improve their overall fitness. I am no different, and with each passing year, as the inches around my waist grow, so does the intent to lose them! I am a National Cadet Corps 'C' certificate holder, so this would not be the first time that I would be pushing my physical limits. Those times though, seem almost like a lifetime back.  "Pushing myself physically" was hence one of the reasons I agreed to go on my first-ever high altitude trek with my brother in law. Snow dunes en route to the pass Since both of us were new to trekking, we decided to go on an organized trek, and after some research we decided on Rupin Pass with India Hikes . Once again the moderate to difficult level as indicated by the organizers was an important deciding factor. Let me put on record that while I was very excited, I was also very scared of the prior physical training required - being ...
