Protected by the mighty Mt. Kanchenjunga, and caressed by green carpets of tea gardens
Darjeeling is such a beautiful place, even with its thick fog and rains.
The beloved homeland of proud and self-respecting peoples, such as Lepchas, Bhutias and Nepalis
It is a land of amazing beauty, a land also endowed with eternal charm and peace.
Come here to witness how snow-covered mountains are bathing themselves in fast flowing chilly winds
Come here to observe the thrilling scene of vivacious rivers swiftly flowing through the surrounding rocks and greens.
Come here to relish a colourful flora, which comprises varieties of trees, flowers, plants and orchids
Come here to experience a rich fauna, ranging from Red Panda to singing birds and butterflies.
Come here to know about Mountaineering, one of the world’s top sports and many peoples’ craze
Come here to see the spectacular Darjeeling Toy Train, the wonder recognized by the UNESCO as an object of world heritage.
Come here to know about the cultivation of tea, which might be your favourite beverage
Or come here just to have an idle vacation, and spend some leisurely days.
Whatever may be your interest and objective, come to this astounding land before it is too late
Otherwise, who knows, not visiting Darjeeling might become your life’s greatest regret.

Will US Aviation Firms Set Up Bases In India?
It is really worth watching whether US aviation firms decide to set up bases in India.
During his US tour the Indian Civil Aviation Minister Mr. Praful Patel appealed to the US aviation firms to establish manufacturing bases on the Indian soil, and also to invest in the Indian aviation infrastructure, such as airports.
In fact, US Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood have told Mr. Patel that US aviation firms are impressed with the growth curve of the Indian civil aviation sector, and will love to contribute to the same.
Now let’s see whether the US firms will choose to witness the Indian aviation sector’s performance from a distance, or whether they will love to be a part of the notable growth that this thriving Indian sector is achieving.

BA-Iberia Merger Forms Europe’s 3rd Largest Airlines
British Airways (BA) has signed a merger deal with Spain’s Iberia to form Europe’s third biggest airlines. The merger will come into life under a new holding company called International Airlines Group, boasting of 408 aircrafts and flying to 200 destinations.
Till the last development, there has been no communication on fleet reduction and staff cuts. However, such developments have always taken place after all similar airlines mergers in the past.

SpiceJet and IndiGo To Fly Abroad
For quite some time Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines have been the only two private airlines to fly abroad. But now they have to share the honour with two more players - SpiceJet and IndiGo.
The two airlines have already got the go-ahead from the Indian Civil Aviation Ministry. Now they are awaiting the completion of the necessary procedural formalities, to be conducted by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Both the players have fulfilled one criterion, i.e. having a minimum fleet size of 20 aircrafts. And both of them will soon achieve the other criterion, i.e. having a track record of conducting domestic operations for 5 years, uninterruptedly.
Notably, neither of the two players is eyeing far away destinations, like Europe and US. Rather both of them have their focus on South Asian region.
Good luck, guys. Wish you people all the best.

India Proceeds Towards Elite Mobile Technology Arena
So at last the bidding for 3G mobile technology spectrum has started in India? It’s really so thrilling!
In fact, it is something that should have happened long back. Already around 130 countries of the world are using 3G mobile technology, and India is going to be one of the last countries in the world to embrace the same. And that is not only embarrassing, but also quite surprising. Apart from being an emerging economy, which is already well-respect across the world, India is also known for having witnessed a notable telecom revolution. And Indians are also known to be connoisseurs of technology and gadgets as a whole, with telecommunications being one of their special areas of interest.
In this backdrop, it is certainly astonishing that we have been so late in moving towards this latest mobile technology. It is actually not only a question of national prestige and status, but also a question of offering latest mobile technology to a certain community (i.e. the Indian community) which genuinely deserves the same.
Anyways, better late than never. Now just let’s wait for the day that will witness the actual introduction and initiation of 3G mobile technology in our country.
And yes, right now we should decide that we will not be late in embracing the 4G mobile technology.

Some Unquotable Quotes
Quote 1
Never judge a person’s behaviour/action in isolation. Rather, try to understand the circumstances under which he has behaved or acted in that way. You may find 100 reasons to justify his behaviour/action, no matter how much unacceptable it may have been apparently.
Quote 2
If you dislike somebody, then neither pretend to like him nor overtly display your disliking. Both the approaches are unsustainable, and you cannot carry any of them for a long time unless in rare cases.
Quote 3
The best way to deal with a tragedy or trauma? Try to make a productive use of the lessons learnt from that experience. The eventual satisfaction may enable you to accept the unfortunate incident.
Quote 4
How a person will be treated by the society is not always determined by his own actions. An ordinary person, with no notable contributions, may enjoy love and reverence simply because he or she is the son/daughter/wife, etc. of a respectable personality.
Similarly, a person of no unsavoury character or background may be hated (or at least disliked) by people, simply because he or she is related to a person who is hated or disliked by the society.
Quote 5
Every second person you come across is like a mirror, who will reflect the treatment that you will extend to him. Treat him with love and respect, and he is very much likely to give you back that love and respect. Treat him with audacity, and he is likely to give you back that audacity unless he has any compulsion.
Usually the behaviour that you get from the other person is actually the reflection of your own behaviour towards him.
Quote 6
You cannot term a person “an escapist” merely because he is avoiding a problem. An escapist is a person who knows how to solve the problem, but does not have the guts to implement that solution. But that person is not an escapist who is avoiding the problem not because he lacks the guts to solve it, but because he does not know the way to solve it in the first place.
Quote 7
The negative outcome of being too much humble – Proud and haughty people will look down upon you, as they will perceive you as a very ordinary person.
The positive outcome of being too much humble - Nice and kind people will be sympathetic to you, as they will perceive you as a very ordinary person.
