The trudge to Saddle Peak – Notes from a travel diary

Please pay attention to your grammar: Replace “Sometimes I wonder why do we do the things we do?” by “Sometimes I wonder why we do the things we do.”

Dear Neha,
I am 54 and have been quite a good traveler to various parts of northen india during my younger days.
Then as you say made progress on professional front, monetory and family . I got to see many places far and near in India and abroad but mostly in comfort and planned ittineries.
Thed last adventure was with family in 1997 a visit to kunsum pass when kids were in class 11th and twelvth then they moved abroad and have took me to exotic locations but no adventure.
I am keen to go tracking, bike riding to Leh and also unexplored pplaces like Nohradhar, choordhar and am looking for company of matured people or understanding youngsters as now i am free from family responsibilities.
Could you connect to some such groups.
Also i would like to write about my past travels if you can guide where to begin
Regards
Aru K bery

First – @PK Jha – Shouldn’t it be – Replace ” …. ” with ” … ” ??? Just wondering ?!

Neha – delightful account of your travails… oops, travels Memories from my 7 mile trek up a 14er (14k ft. high for the un-initiated) in Ouray, Colorado came flooding back. My friend, who’s an avid outdoorsman, motivated (or should I say scammed?) me to join him on this non-technical climb. We were with our families, so didnt’ have the luxury of a 4-wheel drive to drop us closer to the summit. We didn’t realize our climb was gonna stretch 6-7 miles. The first few miles were wonderful, but the steep climb soon took it’s toll. I just couldn’t climb the last 500m skree-field (loose rock, gravel at the summit). My friend went on alone and told me to start the trek back and that he’d catchup with me. I was hesitant, but started trudging back, slowly & painfully. With the rarified air, I could hear non-existent sounds ricochetting from the surrounding peaks. It didn’t help that it was wild bear country, we’d seen signs halfway up the trail. I was lucky enough to catch a ride with a couple of local teenagers who were camping out on the mountain. It didn’t help that they were guzzling beer as they drove downhill. Boy, was I glad to make it back in one piece that day ??
But in the end, it was a memorable experience! Cheers !!

I am surprised to see Indian journalists taking the most pro-Pakistan stance in DC with regards to the issue of the Baloch people. What a disappointment.

Rituals should be followed for a meaningful cause.

Science is reasoning. God isn’t discovered by this discovery. He was only reasoned through the experiment. Every science experiment is for a better reason. The discovery of particle does explain points which are critical to mass and birth of heavenly bodies and thus universe.
One still has to discover God by his own. Whichever religion you choose, whichever faith you follow, God will still be something to be discovered. As God is not only about how one become a mass of living thing, but also a big why?

Just one century back atom was the fundamental unit of element, later on electron, proton, quark came to light. So how scientists can say with finality that Higgs Boson is fundamental particle responsible for Universe.

[Reply]

My dear friend, it is only a name, a nickname rather. However scientists,being people who live in the society,also use terms which are fancy and catchy. Don’t put too much into it. The importance of Higgs Boson, the “God Particle” discovery is more scientific than anything to do with discovery of God. But then every scientific discovery may change or qualify the existing religious beliefs and that is nothng special to Higgs Boson. It has been so with the theory of relativity or discovery of atom etc.

Read vedas’ and geeta to know what is God one leaf is not tree.
what do you mean by left undiscovered it can be discovered only by the Muktas’ i.e. only by those who deserved Moksha. Raise your Karmas’ to that height. good luck.

There is only one GOD. Different names have been given by man n communities over a time. This GOD has created all the universes , galaxies.This experiment has discovered only one of the hidden secrets. Like this there are million and billion secrets still to be discovered. Every child is very happy to see something new in his life time. The same way , let this scientific community remain happy and busy in discovering more. let things happen and we watch as spectators as if seeing a movie.

From time immemorial man has been putting his best efforts to
prove the non-existence of God. The more he tries to prove with his obvious
limitations, he sadly finds more evidence to support His existence. Humans’
latest efforts to confine a mighty God to a sub-atomic particle seem be incomplete
and inconclusive once again. Mahatma Gandhi once wrote: “God is smaller than an
atom, but bigger than the Himalayas…” This sums up God’s greatness as well as
nearness to everything He has created. A few decades ago, scientists had
claimed that given sufficient knowledge they could solve all human problems.
But over the decades, with the enormous growth of scientific knowledge, the
problems have also more than doubled. What a paradox! Centuries ago, inspired
by God, the Apostle Paul wrote: “…they did not like to retain God in their knowledge…”
(Romans 1:28), and he explains further by saying: “…the existence of God is
understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.” It
would be wiser for scientists to direct their efforts towards constructive human
development.

They eat the flesh of God and drink the blood of God every year, The God is cared of them. If he happens to appear before them in true form, they will eat him away. What a cruel fate awaits god.

Science is not true. What we read in schools as Chemistry ten years back has undergone lot of changes now. So is Physics and mathematics. Science cannot find answers for basic things. Say water for example, imagine this material for which so many uses are there. Who else can create such a material other than God. It is there as sea water, get evaporated and forms cloud, and comes down as rain, flows in the rivers, you use it for drinking, washing etc dirty it as much as possible, yet it flows down to the sea and comes back as rain. All these centuries the science could not find a substitute for this material. Due to shortage of water there is famine. People die. We could not find a solution other than fetch water from somewhere. God is everywhere. He comes in the form of air, water, fire etc. Without this you cannot live. All that you can do is to pollute them as much as possible and call that god is non existent. .
