Fuel for life - Las Vegas


There is something for everyone here. This is Las Vegas. You can fly in on a plane, and leave by bus- all in a days work!

I preferred to travel by bus on my entire tour. My itinerary was decided by the city tour guide. The city is filled with shows, and you could see all those hotels raising above one another to invite you.

Although I did not pull the slot machine nor play on the table, I could really see the suspense and excitement in the huge crowds at the hotel. It was a weekend and I could see old faces clinched to their machines all through the night. I was told that the young punters lands here are on weekdays.

The Grand Canyon

'Look there is the deepest gutter', said my travel guide.

I felt, Everybody is right in this place!

The curiosity of the human mind to discover the unknown is still at work. And so is their imagination. I felt at peace with myself when I appreciated from my heart that this world is indeed a wonderful place.


Generations have lived and left, and the canyon has witnessed it all. Every day the Canyon sees the same sun glaring into his abysses without any boredom and at the same time enthralling all who have visited it.

How many generations had it tricked? Its getting old too, and I felt fortunate to have been at the Grand Canyon.

Adventurers & spirit of life



I am standing besides the 'exact' replica of the boat that Capt. & his team rowed all their way on the Colorado river through the canyon. Just a little ago I watched the NGC documentary on the IMAX and I am blown out about the guts and determination of these guys.

Capt. lost his arm, all others died and none found gold! What did they accomplish in their lives? Was life a fantasy for them? Were they forced into this to keep them alive?

No..no.. adventurers don’t think too much and neither do they plan! They live on every day hope and the sheer excitement of living keeps them going.

Californian country side

I love staying in the country side where ever I travel. My night yesterday was at Fresno, CA.
Fresno is a small city ( once said to be the capital of ca).Its economy is farm based. Having traveled through the great Californian valley whole of the previous day, I get the whip of fresh morning misty air. It’s a great refresher.



I recollect the memories of my stay at Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire http://www.sowerby-bridge.org.uk/.
