Your Wish Is My Order - African lion safari (Waterloo)

African Lion Safari - some amazing shots
#wildlife #wildlifephotography #travel #travelphotography #lifestyle #africansafari #waterloo

When you begin to feel you are the strongest of all and one fine day have chills run down your spine when you encounter a majestic pair of cats glare at you through their piercing eyes.

And suddenly you realise your each move is under the surveillance " Your Majesty is watching you but with a bored expression on his face

And the other cats you are surrounded by

And you begin to wonder what if they were not feeling too lazy and come around to attack you

And you sigh with relief as they turn their face away out of disinterest

You thank your stars for the urbanisation and living in a community , you slowly murmur to yourself "Had I been exposed to any one of them without the security shield I have around me I would have simply " said " "Your wish is my order "

And They Turn Out To Be Smarter Than You Think

When you think you can capture them all

And their curiosity scares you off

When They Know You Are Too Scared To Move Out

They glare at you as if you are an idiot of first order

A sigh of relief when they move away after conveying in their own way
Don't you think you are the smartest of all but the others could be smarter than you think !

Dr. Ved Pratap Vaidik - The New Doctor For Kashmir ?

Dr. Ved Pratap Vaidik a the new doctor for Kashmiri illness. Issue of Kashmir is a full time retirement engagement for likes of Dilip Padgaonkar,Ram Jethmalani Prashant Bhushan, Kuldeep Nayyar etc..
The ridiculous propositions they suggest for the solution of Kashmir problem ,only goes on to convince us that in the domain of territorial sovereignty the argument of morality is a non-starter - Rana Raj K Singh ( Attorney of Supreme Court )

#kashmir #india #news #vaidpratapvaidik #babaramdev #terrorism #controversy

Earlier this week the freelance journalist Dr. Ved Pratap Vaidik sparked a controversy after he, met the Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief in Lahore on July 2 while touring Pakistan with a group of journalists and politicians invited by a peace research institute. India accuses Saeed, the founder of Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, of orchestrating the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in which 166 people were killed.

And today he triggered another controversy saying" I have always been in favvuor of azadi (freedom) for the people of Kashmir..Azadi yes and separation no. Kashmiri people should get the azadi same as the people of Delhi " In an interview to Pakistan's Dawn News, Vaidik

Vaidik’s skill at selling himself is evident from his website where he claims to have “rubbed shoulders” with several prime ministers, presidents, external affairs ministers and guerrilla leaders and to be “one of the most reputed mass orators in India”. He has also posted his photographs with such leaders as Hamid Karzai and Nawaz Sharif. Soon after he started his career he displayed his uncanny knack of finding access to the influential and powerful. He grew close to the then PM Indira Gandhi’s adviser P N Haksar and soon became the founding editor of news agency Press Trust of India’s Hindi wire service ‘Bhasha’. After a 10-year-long at PTI, Vaidik shifted to leading Hindi daily Navabharat Times as its opinion page editor. Dr Vaidik who continues to cultivate leading politicians , currently writes a weekly column in Hindi which according to Vaidik is published in over 200 newspapers

Dr Vaidik a close aide of Baba Ram Dev Vaidik's meeting in Lahore with the Jamat-ud-Dawa chief, who is known for attacking India in his speeches, has led to a ruckus in Parliament, with the Congress attacking the BJP. Yet The New Doctor For Kahmir remained defiant and said "I put my life in danger. Congress leaders are making a noise in Parliament. Agar unke neta milne jaate toh unka pajama geela ho jata, stretcher pe lana padta. (If one on their leaders had gone to meet him, they would have peed in their pyjamas; they would have had to be brought back in stretchers). They can raise the issue in the Parliament but nothing will come out of it,"

I really wonder if we rather the BJP Govt can let go off Dr Vaidik for his recent meeting with Hafiz Sayeed , a 26/11 mastermind who is believed to have said " There can not be any peace while India remains intact. Cut them,cut them so much that they kneel before you and ask for mercy " And his recent controversial interview that sparked another controversy saying that there is no harm if Kashmir is made an independent nation. ?

"Pari Mahal " - " Fairies Abode " Srinagar , Jammu and Kashmir (pictures/images)

"Pari Mhahal " also known as" Fairies Abode" is situated on a hill top of Zabarwan Mountain range in Srinagar , Jammu and Kashmir. Pari Mahal was built by Dara Shikoh the eldest son of Emperor Shah Jahan and was used as an observatory to study astronomy .Pari Mahal , a seven terrace garden ,overlooking the Dal Lake and The Royal Spring Golf Course in Srinagar is an amazing splendour of Mughal Arcitecture.The name Pari meaning Fairy always intrigued me until my recent visit that gave a new dimension to my thought process or I should rather say left me wonder weather Pari Mahal/Fairies Abode was visited in the past by extra terrestrials in the past ?
