Back from Leh

Fantastico trip! Difficult to describe the feeling, 6 days were perhaps too less for the place.
Created the following to capture a bit of the trip, took quite some time and hence the delay in posting this.

More dope on the trip soon :)

Trip to Leh - Plan in progress

We are planning a trip to Leh in July. Tickets done, now focusing on following:

1. We plan to go from Manali to Leh by road. Have read that drive is fantastic and views are simply breathless. Wondering which route to take: Manali - Sarachu - Leh or Manali - Jispa - Leh. Stay in Sarachu is tricky (tents) as compared to Jispa (hotel room is possible). But Jispa to Leh will be difficult in one day. So still wondering - where to halt for the night.

2. Which hotel to stay in - Looking for a right mix of comfort and value for money :)

3. And most important, how to plan the stay in Leh? Which places to see. I believe this is something which we can plan on reaching Leh as well.

1 and 2 are more important. Hoping that google search and postings on travel forums will help.

We always have a choice

Peter Parker's last lines in Spiderman III.

"Whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice. My friend Harry taught me that. He chose to be the best of himself. It's the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what's right."





Its so true!

To do

Things I want to do:

1. Read, read and read.
2. Finish the unfinished agenda (the list is adding up now!)
3. Blog regularly.

I will try my best in all. Good Luck to me.

Back to life!

Couple of weeks back, saw an unusual message blinking on my cell "Phone Startup Failed. Contact the retailer". The phone was not starting and the message was constantly displaying. Thought it to be temporary phenomenon and rebooted the cell. That did not help :(

Got it checked at a Nokia centre – Got a response that there is hardware problem and repair will cost ~ 3.5 K (with no guarantee). Asked a local repair shop - Was told that its a software problem and will cost ~ 800 (again with no guarantee).

Now not sure what to, I decided to defer the decision making and started using mom's mobile in the meantime - My phone was now lying unused.

Today decided to do some Google search to find if there is some home-remedy available for phone repair (actually should have tried it earlier but it somehow slipped my mind!). Read about the problem on some tech forums and one of the suggested solution was to hard format by pressing “3”, “*”, “Green dial button” and “Switch off button” all together. I tried it and bingo!!! …. my the phone is working now :)

Hurrah !
