Travel Tales

By God's grace, I have traveled to some really wonderful places - across India and the World!!

Here is a glimpse of some pictures (some of which i may not have taken) - but are here because they depict the beauty and magic of the place in the best possible way.

Starting with Shanghai, China. - Here's a view of Shanghai and its magnificent Pearl Tower situated on the bank of the Huangpu River.

Then to Mauritius, a great country with amazing beaches and superb blue water!!

A voyage to Russia - to the eastern city of Moscow. Got a glimpse of the famous Red Square, The Kremlin and The St. Basil's Cathedral.

And to the Indian cities of Nainital and Agra.



And here's a quote which summarizes it all

"Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quiestest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey." - Pat Conroy

Usain Bolt - 100m in 9.58 Seconds

Usain Bolt - of Jamaica - created a World Record yesterday by running the 100m dash in the Berlin World Championship in 9.58 seconds.

With this, he became the first man on earth to run sub 9.6 seconds. This is no extraordinary feat considering that a decade back the World Rcord was the 9.85 seconds mark!!

Needless to say, he had great competiton in the final from Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell - and great competitors propel athletes to great heights.

A Moment S'il vous plaît!

Well, that's how my blog name would like in French.

And in some more languages as below!!

In German, it would be Einen Moment bitte!

In Hindi, it would be एक पल कृपया!!

In Italian, it would be Un momento per favore!

In Russian, it would look like A Момент Пожалуйста!!

And finally in Spanish, it would be Un momento por favor!

Interesting isn't it - one word, one thought and so many different ways to express it!!
