Yards away from the protectors

Longewala in Rajasthan, an military post on the Indian side bordering Pakistan, approximately 15 KM from the border hosts a small museum with the artillery that was used during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971 , couple of Pakistani tankers that were captured during the war and the memorial that bore the name of the mighty warriors who laid their life to protect this great Nation. It also housed a small bunker with a projector room with a video on the war that showed bravery and leadership second to none. The video that was played did raise goose-bumps and a few tears from the emotional ones. Well, yes a vacation for three families. A hard earned one to escape the concrete jungle and the corporate world of stressful chaos. Jaisalmer it was, the golden city sure is a feast to the eye with love for craftsmanship and architecture. The cozy hotel that we stayed in also provided a travel desk with an itinerary of places to visit. The Forts, the sandstone buildings, market place with wall

The Pit-Stop Crew

Formula One (also known as Formula 1 or F1) is the highest class of single-seater auto racing sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and owned by the Formula One Group . The FIA Formula One World Championship has been one of the premier forms of racing around the world since its inaugural season in 1950. The word "formula" in the name refers to the set of rules to which all participants' cars must conform.[1] A Formula One season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix ( French  for 'grand prizes' or 'great prizes'), which take place worldwide on purpose-built circuits and on public roads. That is the wikipedia explanation of the Formula one.  For me F1 is the ultimate one, in the world of racing and every time I watch a Grand Prix  it keeps teaching me new things almost every race. Vividly remember F1 and Ayrton Senna in the early 1990s, thanks to ‘The Hindu’, the news paper that I had access to.
