Juno's Blog #1: Summer 23

Visit to Dhauli Stupa

A summer vacation is a long holiday which lasts for about 2 months. This holiday is given by the school because there is too much heat outside. This year summer vacation in the schools in Odisha started too early. I was very happy to hear this news. One morning, while playing basketball in my school, I saw a poster that said that summer camp would start from May 1st. I was confused whether to attend it or not because my father had the idea of sending me to swimming classes. I would have chosen summer camp easily, but I wasn't sure whether my friends would be there or not. Then, my parents checked the number of students attending swimming classes, but it was too crowded. So we decided that I would rather go to the summer camp.
Having a great time with friends


RMNH, Bhubaneswar
On the first day of summer camp, I was a little nervous, but soon found out that my friends were also there. I got to learn yoga, aerobics and keyboard. We also went to the Hotel New Marrion for swimming. We continued doing the same activities every day. On 6th May, 2023 we went to Dhauli, planetarium and RMNH (Regional Museum of Natural History).

Horse Power

The next week had horse riding for 3 days. There were two horses - a black horse and a brown one. Each child was allowed to sit on the horse once. At the same time I found out that horse riding wasn't so easy. Only the master or a person who knows how to ride it can control it. On Thursday we had movie show and on Friday we had a magic show. The tricks the magicians did were awesome! They could make things from thin air!

Scaling the wall
On the next day we were going to have the real fun of summer camp! We were going to the Puri Jungle camp and Blue Splash Water Park! After we reached Puri we first went to jungle camp. There, we did zorbing and zip-lining.

After that we went to the water park. Even though I had gone there once; I had not tried the big slides as I was little. But, this time I tried it out. I couldn't try all of them because I didn’t have a float. Then, we all changed and went back to Jungle camp. There we did wall climbing and played in the park there. Then. It was time to go home. We reached school at 7:30 p.m. and went home.
Zorbing



The next morning after breakfast we had our rehearsal for the closing ceremony. I was a little disappointed because I couldn’t play my keyboard. The next day we had the closing ceremony and I performed уоga. Summer camp was so fun and I wish it would take place early next year.

MY TRYST WITH MOTORCYCLING

Image
Motorcycling can be a hobby… It had never happened to me until recently. I have had a deep fascination for machines, especially motorcycles from a very young age. As we all know a motorcycle is a motorized cycle that is either powered by an ICE (internal combustion engine) or electric motor. It helps the rider to cover the distance with less effort. It is a tool to slice through the city traffic. Here I would stick only to the ICE powered motorcycles. These machines burn fuel once the engine is fired up. The mechanical sensation from the ICE engine, the exhaust note, the pull of the levers, and the wind blast as one rides, all come together and bring to the rider a sense of freedom and thrill. That's why motorcycling is meditative for the rider. Initial attraction: My fancy for motorcycles goes back to the time when my father got his first ride, a pre-owned Kinetic Luna. Thereafter he owned a K-Bajaj Boxer, then a Bajaj Wind 125, and finally his current ride a TVS Wego i...

GREY IS THE NEW GREEN…

Image
If someone says grey is green, we would assume the person to be either colour blind or insane. Grey and green are of course different colours. They signify different things which are poles apart. Grey means weak, old-age and ambiguity. In contrast green depicts strength, youthfulness and decisiveness. Green is now trending. It finds its place as a prefix in every other thing in the market. At the same time, grey is also a very common colour in nature, be it colour of animals, birds, and fishes. Being a neutral shade, it helps them blend with their surroundings and ensures their survival. It also compliments and gels well with almost any other colour. Despite its inherent benefits, we usually find awkward if someone dons grey hair. People become inquisitive about your biological age and why on earth you have left that damn grey thing undyed. This blog is an attempt to analyse the colour grey, specifically greying of our hair and how greying hair brings a new meaning to our lives. Shad...

Lessons on investment & money skills

Image
Of late my daughter has been very curious about my current interest in writing blogs. She has always been the first one to read the draft version of all my previous three blogs. After the third blog “Finding the Yogi in me,” I was wondering what I would write next. And there my sweetheart promptly suggested “Papa, you should write next something on investment.” This has more or less to do with the fact that she has seen me following some financial influencers in YouTube and tracking the business news, and buying equities of some popular companies since the mid-2022. Though I quickly agreed to her suggestion, I later found myself scratching my head on the content of the blog. I thought over it for a few days and finally began gathering some ideas and based on my personal experiences and learning. A famous American investor Peter Lynch has been quoted as saying:  Everyone has the brainpower to follow the stock market. If you made it through 5th grade math, you can do it. It sounds ea...
