There are many spiritual, mental, and physical benefits of wearing a Rudraksha. It is
comprised of two words Rudra means Lord Shiva, and Aksha means teardrops. When the tears of Lord Shiva landed on earth near Kalisah mountain they formed the Rudraksha tree.

Rudrakshas have electromagnetic properties, and they emit electromagnetic waves to create an aura in the surroundings of the wearer.

Out of them, only 14 mukhis (faces) are commonly found in the Himalayan regions. There are other Rudrakshas with more than 21 vertical lines, but they are extremely rare.

Monsoon: Perfect National Parks In India

Intro: As the first raindrops kiss the parched earth and the skies turn dramatic with monsoon clouds, India’s national parks undergo a breathtaking transformation. Verdant landscapes, mist-draped forests, and gushing rivers make these natural havens come alive. While many assume the monsoon is off-season for wildlife, it’s actually the time when nature is at her most expressive. DHANUSH KUMAR writes about India’s most spectacular national parks to explore when it rains. Periyar National Park-Kerala Tucked in the heart of the Western Ghats, Periyar is an emerald paradise during the monsoon. Its namesake lake swells with rain, and mist curls around the cardamom hills. While tigers remain elusive, elephants, sambar deer, and wild boars roam freely across the dense terrain. Boat safaris offer a tranquil way to spot wildlife against a lush, rainy backdrop. Why Visit: For surreal boat rides through the rainforest and misty encounters with elephants. Valley Of Flowers National Park, Uttarakhand A UNESCO World Heritage site, this Himalayan treasure comes into full bloom from July to September. The monsoon awakens a riot of alpine flowers, over 500 species, including blue poppies, orchids, and daisies. Snow-fed streams, cascading waterfalls, and vibrant meadows create a landscape straight out a fairytale. Why Visit: To witness a living canvas of wildflowers blooming against snowcapped peaks. Kanha National Park, Madhya Pradesh While some central Indian parks close during peak monsoon, Kanha’s buffer zones remain open and offer a quieter, rain-soaked safari experience.

Chenab Bridge: Redefining Railway Connectivity Across Kashmir

Intro: There are bridges, and then there are breakthroughs. The Chenab Bridge, rising like a myth from the rugged heart of Jammu and Kashmir, is not just India’s latest engineering marvel, it is a declaration. A promise. That no terrain is too tough, no dream too distant. DHANUSH KUMAR writes about the Chenab Bridge, the world’s tallest railway bridge, and how it is set to redefine connectivity across Kashmir-geographically, economically, and emotionally. Towering at 359 meters above the Chenab River, the Chenab Bridge is more than just a world record. It is a declaration that no mountain is too high, and no dream too distant. Spanning 1.3 kilometers across a formidable Himalayan gorge in Jammu’s Reasi district, this bridge forms the most breathtaking piece of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail link project Designed to withstand earthquakes, high-velocity winds, and time itself, the bridge is India’s boldest move yet in making Kashmir accessible by rail. Built from 28,000 metric tons of steel, its elegant arch, resembling a drawn bow, is already spoken of in the same breath as the Eiffel Tower for good reason, it stands taller. Kashmir, Connected Like Never Before All-Season Access to the Valley The beauty of Kashmir has always come at a price, its remoteness. For decades, landslides, snowfalls, and seasonal blockades made consistent travel a dream. The Chenab bridge answers that dreams with steel certainty, offering all-weather, high-capacity rail access into the valley Tourism Reimagined From the snow-draped meadows of Gulmarg to the saffron-scented fields of Pampore, Kashmir has never lacked allure. But now, a family from Chennai, a photographer from Jaipur, or a writer from Delhi can board a train and roll effortlessly into a landscape that once felt like a fable. Design Meets Excellence Build under some of the most testing conditions of the planet, freezing

The Evolution of Bus Travel in India

Bus travel in India has transformed dramatically over the years. What once served primarily as a feeder mode of transport or even a basic long-distance travel option has evolved into a sophisticated industry. The rise of powerful luxury buses, coupled with the rapid development of highways, has fueled this remarkable growth. In Part 1 of this series, I explored the early changes in bus designs and operations. The last two decades, in particular, have been a thrilling period for bus travel in India. Memories of Long-Distance Buses Before 2000 Before diving into recent changes, let me take you back to the late 1990s. During 1999-2000, my daily observations included long-distance buses running between Mumbai and Mangalore operators like CPC and Ballal. These buses took about 24 hours to cover the route, often carrying bulky cargo on their roofs. At that time, the Mumbai-Pune Expressway was not yet operational, so these buses took routes passing through the outskirts of Mumbai, where I lived. These were all seater buses, and I often wondered how passengers could endure such long journeys sitting upright. The First Sleeper Bus Encounter – Early 2000s In the early 2000s, during a school outing to Mumbai’s Fort area, I spotted a unique bus operated by Paulo Holiday Makers from Goa. This bus had its entrance in the middle and featured a hybrid seating arrangement: one half with seats and the other half with sleeping berths aligned along the direction of travel, similar to Indian Railways’ side berths. Though I couldn’t enter the bus, it left a strong impression as the first sleeper bus I had ever seen. The body was built by a Goan manufacturer called Damodar. The Rise of Sleeper Buses (Mid-2000s to 2010) Fast forward a few years to around 2005, sleeper buses became more common,
