Amish Launches His 2nd Book at Starmark

After a lot of contemplation and a complex day at work, I decided I need to get out and attend the book Launch at Starmark, South City Mall. This is the first time I have been to a book launch where an AV has been made from part of the book depicting scenes from within. It was like the trailer to a Hollywood Blockbuster.

The last time Amish was in town, I got to know him but in the comfort of our studio. The Best Selling author was as friendly, down to earth and amicable in front of a crowd. After a brief reading, he was eager to start the Q&A and fielding questions from both young and old, it was clearly evident that he was a well read person & had dwelled long on research.

Even when foxed by some questions by youngsters, his boyish smile was enough to disarm even the biggest guns pointed his way. Post the book launch, while signing books, he was always able to pop his head here and there to get in the frame with eager fans. The shutterbugs am sure had a field day. I'd have loved to be counted in as one of them, but the battery in my camera died even before Mr. Arindam Seal arrived to launch the Book "The Secret of the Nagas" which is the 2nd book of his SHIVA Trilogy. So these are the few captures of the Author "Amish Tripathi" that I managed to get.

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum

I was in Bangalore and this was the only place I actually wanted visit. So here I am taking the tour of India's first aerospace museum located at the HAL facility (opposite the old Bangalore Airport) spread over 4 acres. The displays of actual aircraft are very cool and so are the galleries showing historical pictures and evolution of HAL and its contribution to the nation in Military Aircraft as well as Aerospace. The disappointing thing at the end of the tour was the Gift shop, where I was hoping to find Scale Models of Aircraft and other Memorabilia from the IAF (Indian Air Force), but instead it was a dreary sight to see a shelf which housed Handicrafts! That just didn't make any sense whatsoever. Anyway for those of you who would like to visit this wonderful Museum, the details are below: HF-24 Marut 1T (D1698) IAF MIG-21 Bison (Trainer Version) HAL HJT-36 Sitara (IJT), Intermediate Jet Trainer Prototype. HAL Tejas mock-up (LCA) Light Weight...
