A Life of Adventure

Kartik asked:

The Indian Institute of Planning & Management, Mumbai hosted a Treasure Hunt competition at the IIPM, Mumbai campus at Bandra.

This “Modern Shakespearean Treasure Hunt” witnessed students discovering all the hot and happening places of Bandra in merely 2 hours. The competition began with a celebration of the two big festivals- Diwali & Eid. The campus was decorated with Flowers, Lights and Diyas. To add some color to this event a Rangoli competition was organized to highlight the creative side of the young management students. Students were also given an opportunity to make some money by putting up game stalls to enjoy this festive season. One of the stall was occupied by a talented, young, deaf & dumb tattoo artist who designed tattoos on this special occasion. While the others played games and made tattoos the treasure hunt teams began the hunt as they were given their first clue. After the 2 hour long hunt came to an end, the Soul of Sufism- Mr. Kailash Kher honored the occasion with his presence at the IIPM, Mumbai campus. The crowd hummed to the tunes of ‘Teri Diwani’ & ‘Subhan Allah’ as this legend sang a few lines. He also gave away personalized autographed CD’s along with prizes in cash and gift Vouchers to the winners of Rangoli Competition and the Treasure Hunt. It was truly amazing experience for one and all present in the campus as this day IIPM; Mumbai celebrated the two festivals with games, colors of Rangoli, light of Diya and music of Sufism. The menu at the IIPM canteen added flavor to the festivity by preparations like Chole Bhature, Biryani, Gulab Jamun & Kheer.

India is full of adventures; the Himalayan mountain range alone is world fame for its beauty and Adventure Tours. Nubra and Zanskar valleys in Ladakh, PIN Valley, SPITI, and valley of god in himachal pradesh, tiger hill, DARJEELING are few of them. Apart from himalaya there are so many places in South India to visit as well.

India offers great opportunities for trekking, mountaineering, white water rafting, skiing, hang-gliding, mountain biking, and high altitude motorbike and jeep safaris for adventure enthusiasts.

The Indian Himalaya is a trekker’s paradise. It’s all here, from easy nature walks through pine forests and alpine meadows to tough gradients at high altitudes where sparkling glacial lakes will take your breath away. Pick your choice and enjoy what only the Himalaya can offer.

There is something for everyone. Families can go camping, or stay in hotels that cater for all tastes and budgets.

Hard core adventure seekers can go on expeditions to challenging peaks in the awesome Himalayan ranges. The Indian Himalaya hides exotic places and people. Legendary Ladakh, with its spectacular lunarscape dotted with ancient Buddhist monasteries and breathtaking Nubra and Zanskar valleys. Spiti, a high altitude cold desert valley bordering Tibet and showcasing Buddhist culture. Sikkim, Darjeeling, and Garhwal, each with its own unique Himalayan ambience and experience. All you need to enjoy it is reasonable physical fitness, a budget and the inclination.

For culture vultures, there’s a tantalizing array of historic places and cultures to explore and experience. India is a land of Pilgrimage. There are endless holy places, shrines, stupas, gurudwaras, temple towns and holy rivers. You can visit historic monuments. The Taj Mahal, the Temples of Khajuraho, Varansi, Red Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, Palaces of Rajasthan and much more.

For nature lovers, India offers jungle safaris, desert safaris in Rajasthan, elephant and tiger reserves, snake parks, house-boats on the backwaters of Kerala, tea gardens and coffee plantations.

Denise Villani asked:

The word paranormal comes from the words “para” meaning beyond, and normal. So the term paranormal really means something that is beyond the normal scope of science or being beyond a scientific explanation. According to the Journal of Parapsychology, the term paranormal describes “any phenomenon that in one or more respects exceeds the limits of what is deemed physically possible according to current scientific assumptions.”

Ghosts generate strong electro-magnetic fields. These fields cause disruptions in the magnetic field of a location which makes it detectable by both specialized equipment and psychics. Ghost hunters use many different types of equipment to detect an paranormal phenomena. A 35mm or digital camera is probably the easiest and least expensive way to begin. Pictures, whether digital or recorded on film have the ability to capture paranormal activity that is usually invisible to the naked eye. In addition to a camera, it’s important to have a flashlight since most paranormal investigations will be in dark places like cemeteries, basements, attics, or old buildings. Also, most investigations occur between 9pm and 6am when it’s dark. This is believed to be the best time to record paranormal activity. Along with the flashlight you’ll need extra batteries, since batteries will sometimes mysteriously lost all their charge during paranormal investigations, literally leaving you in the dark.

Once you have these basic items, you’re ready to start exploring the world of paranormal investigation. Some important things to remember are: never go on an investigation alone, and be respectful of the of the people, places and situations you encounter.

The first step in an investigation is selecting the place you’re going to investigate. Once you choose a location, be sure to get permission to access the property to ensure you won’t get into any trouble for trespassing. It’s also very important to do some research on the location before you go out and physically investigate it. You can go to the library and look up old newspapers, visit the local historical society to find out about the history of the place and if anything strange has happened there, and of course talk with the owner of the property.

Once you get all your data collected you have to analyze it. Every picture, video, audio recording is reviewed to look for any sign of a haunting. When doing your analysis, be sure to be skeptical. Make sure you rule out any explainable causes for anything odd that may show up. Check for mirrors, shadows, light sources or anything else that may cause something weird to be seen or heard in your collected data. Most of the time, the things you initially detected during your investigation will have real world explanations as opposed to supernatural ones. It’s important to make sure your evidence will stand up to any scrutiny by eliminating any other explanations. This will give your data more credibility.

Once you complete your analysis, you need to present your findings property owner. At this point you would recommend whether the owner needs to seek additional help, such a having the property blessed or if there is really nothing that needs to be or even can be done. Sometimes just having someone investigate the place and find nothing can help ease the mind of the person experiencing the haunting.
