  #OdishaTourism, #OdishaByRoad, #KalingaRides, #SecretsAtEveryCorner   Panchalingeswar Panthanivas OTDC   On 27/09/20 after finishing the Bike Rally on World Tourism Day 2020, our riders group, The HOG - Kalinga Chapter headed for Panchalingeswar Panthanivas, Balasore to explore Odisha by road and enjoy our sponsored night stay. We left at 11.00 am and reached by 2:00 am covering a journey of around 200 Kms.   The Road Highways of Odisha are well built for a safe journey. At some stretches, construction was going on for expansion and a few diversions were there on the to-route, but most of the route was good. While returning the route was even better. After reaching our destination,  we checked in our respective rooms, freshened up and went to enjoy our lunch.  The staff at the OTDC panthanivas was hospitable and served us well. The location of the resort was picture-perfect. The panthanivas was located right in the lap of the beautiful mountains. After lunch, I went to my roo

And what Not When will we be able to see through these lines and walls created by mankind. These divisions are self-imposed on us and created by us only and we have become the guardians of these boundaries. We are one, You, Me, Everyone! There is a common thread, a common pulse, a common beat among all of us. If we can shatter these boundaries and live as one, the humankind can do wonders. We can create Heaven on earth. And not just the humankind, when you think of all living matter and nonliving objects too on the planet, there is common frequency among all of us and among all the Universe! The moment we will be able to vibrate at that frequency and pulse and connect with everything, only then we will be at peace with ourselves and the Univers

Pic courtesy : Pixabay Fitness is defined as " the quality of being suitable to fulfill a particular role or task". Going by the above definition, being fit is able to carry out a task or an act effectively. The standard of fitness varies with a person's age but we have many examples around the globe showing people achieving feats which appear impossible at their age. So age is just a number in the mind. Getting Fit If one has become overweight or obese by any reason, I feel if the person gives it a deep thought how did he reach there, he himself will get an answer. Overeating, not carrying out any activity, depression... The reasons can be many... But the mental block can be broken by carrying out any activity. Some rules are straight out simple :- 1) Calories burnt (energy expenditure) should be greater than the calories consumed (energy consumed) if you are trying to lose weight. 2) You will have to do some physical activity to burn those calories

"Bad Habit" 1) Understanding Your Enemy 2) Motives to Quit 3) What happens in Nicotine Withdrawal 4) Your weapons against Cravings 5) REWARDS You are reading this because you have decided to do away with smoking but you will have to understand first how you have reached here and what lies ahead in your war against smoking. Understanding the Enemy When nicotine enters the body either by smoking or chewing or snorting, it is absorbed into circulation and travels in the blood stream. It mainly acts on the Brain and the Adrenals. In the brain, it causes the release of the hormone Dopamine and on the adrenals it causes the releases of Norepinephrine. Both these molecules give the "Kick", which makes the person to light up everytime. When the level of nictoine decreases some hours after having a cigarette, the person feels the craving again to maintain the nicotine levels in the body. Cravings :- To maintain the right level of nicotine in the body you feel

               A less explored place in eastern India is the capital city of Bhubaneswar. People mainly throng Odisha to visit Jagannath Temple in Puri. But apart from the temple, there are many things to explore in the state of Odisha.             Bhubaneswar now is directly connected from flights by Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Vizag. A weekend trip can be made for a quick getaway to this best kept secret of India (Odisha). Day 1 - Bhubaneswar & Around            After landing in the city, a visit can be made to Dhauli Temple (Buddha Stupa) which is 20-25 kms from the city. This place also has a light and sound show in the evening. The other place that can be covered after that is the ancient Lingaraj Temple which is located in the city itself.  The wildlife lovers can opt for Nandan Kanan Zoological Park (Day hours) which is one of the largest national parks. The city also has a state museum which is a good visit (Optional). Day 2 - Konark and Puri

We consider ourselves highest among the living organisms kingdom, the most recent and evolved in the evolution chain.                Humans are gifted with the cortical thinking ability which other species don't have and a consciousness like no one else on the planet. We are responsible not only for our own existence but also for all the plant and animal life on the earth. Over the ages, in the name of development we have displaced both plant and animal kingdom from their natural habitat. The damage to the ecosystem which we have caused is manifesting itself in form of climate change and other unexplained phenomenon in the world.                Like we plan & design our living and working conditions, we should also consider creating an atmosphere and natural environment for plant and animal life also.                We don't have to just take care of ourselves, but every living being o

The World Health Organization defines 'Health' as "a state of physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Some authors recommend to add the spiritual dimension also to the definition of health. Others have even suggested that the financial/ economic standpoint of a person is also important in determining the health of a person.

This is our everyday triad. Each and everyday we must do these three things, i.e., sleep properly, eat healthy and engage in physical activity. A neglect of one will affect the other two. For example, Improper diet will affect your level of physical activity and will also disturb your sleep. Excessive sleeping will result in lethargic feeling and tendency to eat more or less.
