The seminar days.....

An international seminar is expected to bring out the diverse academic intellect in to one platform. Discourses bring out the progress in different research themes across the world. This seminar was an outcome of joint effort of four universities Akdeniz University (Turkey), Kemptem University of Applied Sciences (Germany), University of Sannio (Italy) and University of Seville (Spain). Professors, Scholars and industry experts from various countries are encouraged from worldwide to present innovative findings. The international scene is quite different from what we see in India. Professors with high impact research findings present their papers among curious audience. I could find that a top executive of a tour company from Belgium attended the conference to know about the varying trends in visitor satisfaction, technology, online trade etc. I made some good friends from Russia, Brazil, Mexico, U K, Turkey, Poland etc. and a handful of very eminent professors from USA, UK, Germany, Egypt etc. I also got to meet Dr. Shilpa, a faculty from University of Pune doing Post Do in University of Sannio, Italy, Dr. Girish a faculty from Korea (both are Indian) and an ultra marathon runner etc. The conference and the proceeding days were really awakening of self and generating a new kind of academic interest. At the end while I packed back to India, I was quite satisfied that I got such a prestigious opportunity. The conference authorities were kind enough to offer me a highly discounted registration fee, offering me to chair a technical session.

Jai Badrivishal ~ Badrinath

Image
Our next trip point was to reach Badrinath. The bus which we boarded stopped at Joshimath at around 6.30 pm as it was proceeding to Auli. The evening was very pleasant at Joshimath as the dark clouds at the horizon was slowly telling as it may rain any time. After waiting for some time, one family going towards Badrinath offered us space at a price of Rs. 200 per person for 45 k.m.  When we started to Badrinath, the night has already shown its arrival. The route was empty as the uphill vehicles are stopped after evenings. Govindghat comes in between Joshimath and Badrinath. Here Sikh pilgrims stop for their vehicles and start trek to Hemkund Sahib which is situated at an altitude of 4500 meters approx. above sea level.  Badrinath Dham (Main Gate) When we reached Badrianth it was 9.30 pm. The streets were occupied by devotees and almost all restaurants were full. We were looking for our accommodation and finally found a place at a rate of Rs. 2000 per night for a fa...

Chardham Part-3; Kedarnath

Image
Kedarnath dham It was a long cherished dream to visit Kedarnath as it is one of the most important Jyotirlinga temples in India. Me and my wife were highly excited to start the trip and after passing Rudraprayag, we realised the toughness of the journey. Narrow road where only one vehicle can go at a time, sharp bends, and the high chances of landslides. At one point I literally shouted at the bus driver that the last wheel is about to fall in to a gorge while he was giving side to another car.  Gupt Kashi is the nearest main town and a number of helipads can be found while moving towards Gourikund. We stayed overnight at a point called Phatta which is almost 1 hour away from Sonprayag, the base camp of Kedarnath.  Early morning we started to Sonprayag. All yatris  should get themselves registered  and give the biometric at Gourikund in order to proceed further. The next part is to wait for your turn to board a jeep to Gourikund. Jeeps take pilgrims to a dist...
