Kertha Gosa Pavilion of Klungkung Palace, Bali

The Klungkung Palace, officially Puri Agung Semarapura, is a historical building complex situated in Semarapura, the capital of the Klungkung Regency (kabupaten) on Bali, Indonesia. The palace (puri) was erected at the end of the 17th century, but largely destroyed during the Dutch colonial conquest in 1908. Today the basic remains of the palace are the court of justice, the Kertha Gosa Pavilion, and the main gate that bears the date Saka 1622 (AD 1700). Within the old palace compound is also a floating pavilion, the Bale Kembang. The descendants of the rajas that once ruled Klungkung today live in Puri Agung, a residence to the west of the old palace, which was built after 1929.

The Royal Palace of King Majapahit, Bali


The Royal Palace of King Majapahit The history of Bali’s royal ruling families goes as far back as the 10th century but it wasn’t until the 1300’s that they became historically renown. In 1343, the Majapahit Empire took hold after the Javanese king defeated the Balinese king. Their rule marked the arrival of Javanese Hindu culture, which is still evident today in architecture, the arts, literature, dance and the theatre.

A few Balinese villages remained aloof from this change, however, with the rise of Islam across Indonesia, the Majapahit Empire finally fell and Bali became independent at the end of the 15th century.

Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue, Bali

Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue Currently, the statue of Vishnu is 23 metres (75.5 ft) high, although the original plan was for a 120-metre (390 ft) gold-plated Vishnu riding Garuda on top of an 11-storey entertainment complex. Garuda wing span will be 64 metres (210.0 ft) across. When it's completed, it will be higher than Liberty statue in USA and become the largest statue in the world. The idea was not without controversy, and religious authorities on the Bali island complained that its massive size might disrupt the spiritual balance of the island, and that its commercial nature was inappropriate, but some groups agree with the project, because it will make new tourist attraction over barren land.

Dabur Honey - balanced & a nutrient diet

Truly speaking the weight reduction is a gradual process by taking a healthy & balanced diet, but instead of going for a nutrient diet, many of us opt for the crash diet which is absolutely a bad idea. We have seen many fat persons becoming slim in a short span with hanging skin. They look bad and ugly. Moreover, the minute they stop taking such crash diet, they again start gaining weight.

These crash diets are very harmful for the human body. By consuming crash diets, we don’t actually lose the fat of our body, instead such crash diets make a severe impact on the body’s stored supply of carbohydrate glycogen. When we burn glycogen, we lose water as well, from our body as our body contains almost 70% water and this burning of water from our body shows as we have reduced our weight. It results in unnecessary irritation of mind, tiredness and lethargy as our body is not getting the nutrients that are required to produce energy.

It may also result in nutritional & calcium deficiencies that may lead to osteoporosis as well many other Heart, Liver and Kidney ailments. Moreover, while starving on a crash diet, our body lowers the metabolism to burn fewer calories and when we start eating again, it becomes difficult for our body to adjust and as a result we gain more weight that that too rapidly.

Therefore, instead of a crash diet, we must go for a balanced and nutrient diet so that we are never over weighted, and if there is any excessive fat in our body, it gets burned down gradually keeping us fit and healthy.

To stay fit and healthy, we can just replace sugar with a natural sugar i.e. Honey. Honey has all the nutrients that are required by our body, such as carbohydrates, minerals, amino acids, proteins and the required vitamins. By the intake of honey, we can get more energy without building much heat and as a result, it can be taken in winters as well in summers. Its moisturizing and nourishing properties give a glow to our skin. It’s highly digestible. It’s beneficial in cough & cold conditions. Moreover, it can be taken with warm water regularly for the weight management.

We must keep in mind that the honey we consume is free of any impurities such as pollen, wax and dust & therefore it must be properly filtered and processed. A local concern can never offer us a quality product and therefore, we must look for a branded product as they have all the technology for the efficient production.

Dabur honey is one such brand that can easily be relied upon. We can know much more about Dabur honey from the Honey Diet  Link that connects us with  http://www.daburhoney.com/.

If we want to be healthy and fit, we can just replace sugar with honey in our daily diet. It can be taken in tea, coffee, milk, juices, mock drinks, ice cream, kulfi faluda and so on. Instead of consuming jam or butter on our breakfast, we can use honey in our bread. It can save us from all the bad impacts of sugar and can keep us healthy & fit. It can also help us stay away from the worst impacts of the crash diets.

At Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar !

While in Amritsar, i got the opportunity to visit the Jalian Wala Bagh. This was the place where General Dyer ordered firing on the Indians in the year 1919 the day of Baisakhi festival in Punjab. Its said that over a thousand persons were killed in this firing and many more injured. Many jumped into the well to save their lives and the well itself converted into a burial for them. You can still view the bullet marks at various places in this bagh. Just felt very sad after visiting this site and prayed for all those who were killed by the British forces for no fault.












Selfie with famous Comedian Kapil Sharma - Alias - Bittoo Sharma !

I am a big fan of Bittu Sharma Alias Kapil Sharma of the Comedy Nights show. It was a chance meeting with him at the Kempinski hotel in Delhi where he had come to promote his new film. While asking a question in the PC, i just asked him for a SELFIE for which he replied laughingly that i am very selfish. But after the show, he himself called me on the stage and clicked a selfie with me. It was indeed a great moment for me i.e. being on stage with Kapil Sharma.



























It was a great fun and a proud moment of my life as Kapil himself took my mobile in his hands and clicked this selfie. Thanks Bittoo Sharma, Thanks Kapil Sharma. I am a big fan of you.
