one wheel..... 3 continents,,,

The largest FERRIS wheel. When  I think about it , to my mind come the countries of England(London), Singapore and China...
 In London, The wheel is called the London eye. It is the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe, and the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom....
In Singapore, its known as.. The Singapore flyer. Situated on the southeast tip of the Marina Centre reclaimed land.
In China, its called the Star of Nanchang, located in the eastern Chinese city of Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province. Formerly the world's tallest operating Ferris wheel, it was succeeded by the 165-metre.....Singapore Flyer.
and after i took a round in the wheel n seeing the world around me from the top, I stood down n watched people enjoying in the ferris wheel, and waved at people... but they were more busy seeing the world from the top rather than me....

a world of their own.... Bakarwals,,

One day, traveling in the interiors of Kashmir, came across a tribe called Bakarwals. they are generally cattle grazers and are dependent on the live stock for their entire family moves together along with their livestock. They normally stay in wood and stone made huts called Dhoks or tents made of plastic sheet.. Bakarwals inhabit the higher ridges during the summer season and move to the lower areas during peak winter,,,,,  No electricity, No mobile, nothing in their life.....  In today's world, cant even think.. living like that....  but some where people do live in a world of their own...the Bakarwals

Maharaja Hari Singh's summer palace in Gulmarg (J&K)  India...... 

Shiva temple in Gulmarg

The Shiva temple was actually the royal temple of Dogra kings of
Jammu and Kashmir(INDIA). Also known as “Rani Temple” or “Maharani Temple”, this is situated on a small hillock in the centre of Gulmarg. The unique thing about this royal temple is the fact that it can be seen from all the corners of Gulmarg. The Maharani temple also known as Mohineshwar Shivalalaya was built by Mohini Bai Sisodhia, the wife of the erstwhile ruler of Kashmir Maharaja Hari Singh (the last king of
Kashmir) in 1915.When the last Dogra king was spending his time in Gulmarg in his royal palace, a couple of kilometers from the temple, his queen used to come here to worship Lord Shiva. Infact, she stayed here for months and worshiped Lord Shiva in this temple.

The temple remains open everyday from 6am to 9pm
