It is a wonderful place to be lulled by the intense aroma wafting in the air. There is an elegant background music. There is an air of professionalism of the people who work there. The place evokes the passion for the real story and that for the traditions and legends of these lands.<br />
<br />
Walking around the curves of the hill roads fetches you bright and vibrant fragrance. There are diverse flowers all around with notes of frangipani announcing a delicate heart of jasmine. The orange flowers suffused with an accent of caramel fades into the enveloping silage. There are the waves of amber and oriental orange trees and star anise, with hints of spice routes. They reveal their charm in a heart that encompasses all facets of more precious and rare incense. <br />
<br />
There is the intense and persistent patchouli. There is the multi-faceted scent of cedar. The rose, jasmine and lavender blend with the scent of saffron embroidering a joyful heart. The life of iris, violet, heliotrope, hydrangeas, azaleas, peonies, geraniums, wild roses, and climbers and even pomegranate trees invites you to discover a thing. The shades of the woods are deep, absolute and seductive, with a warm, intriguing and sensual oriental character. <br />
<br />
I stand in the midst of the aromas of strong vinous and intense fruity fullness, the color, and the fragrance. The hills change its colors from ruby red to pale green. The finely fragrant scent give delicate hints of cherry and raspberry. <br />

<br />
The flowering season lasts from late April to October. Darjeeling is then intoxicated by their scent emanating everywhere. It makes the place enchanting by their beautiful colors. They range from white to pink and yellow to orange. I sing in the midst of large yellow flowers with large petals and a delicate fragrance. The old roses invite me with a seductive fragrance. In other words, I stroll under a roof of roses. <br />
<br />
Along the path that surrounds the entire hills are plants of orchids, particularly suitable to be severed. They are all famous for their intensity and complexity of the fragrance. It includes myrrh, musk and fruity accents where you are immediately struck by the exotic fragrance notes.<br />
<br />
There are fragrances that transport you to another world, from the mythological fire red earth and sand that will slip through your fingers. The scent embodies all the great passion and is like traveling in search of an essence. <br />
<br />
As spring arrives Darjeeling becomes even more fascinating with the sun shining on the campaign of dazzling green, and flowers sprouting everywhere. There is a multitude of things to do to enjoy full days in the open air and is really a journey between scents, colours, and sensations of the hills.Kalyan Panjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00806730473428069202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947615374213895771.post-14903194815507257452013-10-12T08:57:00.001-04:002017-08-09T11:52:57.298-04:00Delhi Manifesto - Anatomy of Mass Media<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="250" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pKGqQcrSZQs/TG-FCyZKmKI/AAAAAAAAEt8/a0hI7K1di2k/s400/jama+masjid+2.jpg" width="400" /></div><br />
The little big things to improve Delhi that is required is recycling, renewable energy, penalties for those who have strayed. Beyond the strategic choices about its future, certainly to accomplish, the city could benefit from a set of measures that would define high-sounding agenda. To start a revolution inspired by the common sense, here is a piece of to-dos.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Although the suburbs have already been stuffed with cement, if all new buildings were constructed forcing you to prepare vertical channels for the collection of waste we would have less reason to question ourselves about where to export, at great cost, our trash. It would have, in every kitchen, a trapdoor for paper, one for plastic and metal, one for non-recyclable waste. The bags should be left off in the collection points located at the streets.<br />
<br />
<img height="101" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL8JTjWEiPQ6ercCRTVvvCnQ_8xJWySuzj9axXDQVcTI-ctKBc2wIYv96_dXeAU8avy31jnnNTnAM7xCGJ7TNy27qwZtMEdxzZGID23WPDL3h9JhHqg6MgxSn7ZF3rtH3WQeGHfM75c20/s200/gurgoan.jpg" width="200" /><br />
<br />
If electricity in new homes can be obtained from solar sources, it would improve cutting households cost and, albeit in a small way, our dependence on costly thermal energy. There can be tax advantages given to reduce the loss of energy in homes and offices.<br />
<br />
For people who can not walk due to physical problems, or because of age, companies in Delhi should donate to build aero-bridges as also they should come up to donate light panels installed along the non-lighted roads.<br />
<br />
In many areas, car parking in busy roads is not fined ever. If the penalty can be increased, it would discourage people from parking here and there. Authorities should, punish the shops, bars and restaurants with outdoor seating if they encroach upon public land.<br />
<br />
Let us remember that trees are essential to our lives. They are a filter that allows us to breathe clean air. A city without trees is a city without oxygen and therefore not healthy for its inhabitants. Therefore necessary pruning should be entrusted to qualified organisations, which provide for the presence of a botanist and replant in the various places all the trees felled in the past and never replaced.<br />
<br />
The parks, has given way to weeds, along with giant trees with weak roots that may fall at any moment. This not only prevents the healthy enjoyment of the green spaces by the inhabitants, but also undermines the safety of the many children who go to the parks every day. A more frequent routine maintenance with grass cutting, garbage collection is needed that would maintain this parks to be always in clean condition as also maintain timings for entry and exit.<br />
<br />
There is a disease that affects a lot of women each year worldwide. Many do not survive. That disease is called man. Violence against women resists at all latitudes, is transverse to age, social class, level of education, religious beliefs. It consumes egregious forms of sexual abuse and murder. We should all stay vigil and take more self-concerted steps to safeguard their lives and restore the glory of Delhi once again in the world sphere.<br />

The Mojito is a popular long drink cocktail alcohol of Cuban origin, based on white rum fragrant with mint leaves pounded together with brown sugar, and lime juice, to which are added ice and soda. <br />
<br />
Mojito one of the cocktails most famous in the world and seems that the name came from the word voodoo "Mojo" which means Enchantment (spell). The invention of the Mojito is due to the Cuban barman Angel MartÃnez, manager of the famous bar "La Bodeguita del Medio", located in Havana, said to have mixed the cocktail until he was tired.<br />
<br />
The place was frequented by famous writer Ernest Hemingway, who was a great admirer of the Mojito, and who used to consume only here, as according to him, was artfully prepared, before the cocktail conquered great movie stars like Marlene Dietrich, Gary Cooper and Sophia Loren. Keep in mind that a mojito served in the winter may appear bitter because of mint, and it is important that the mint is fresh. <br />
<br />
For this it is best to consume the Mojito in the summer, during the months when the mint is more mature and less harsh. It is served cold and has a very pungent taste due to the combination of the freshness of mint and very strong taste of rum. There is also a non-alcoholic version of this called Virgin Mojito: rum is replaced with sprite, seven-up or ginger-ale. But how do you prepare the Cuban mojito?<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
<br />
50 ml white rum<br />
2 tsp sugar<br />
5 fresh mint leaves<br />
Ice cubes<br />
Carbonated Water<br />
Soda water to taste<br />
1 Lime juice<br />
<br />
Recipe Method<br />
<br />
In a long drink glass, place the mint leaves and sugar by serving a pestle mash against the side of the glass so as to give off the aroma of mint.<br />
<br />
Add the juice of lime about 1/5 of the drink and pound for a few seconds, then fill the ice cubes, add the rum, carbonated water, and finally a splash of soda, stir in a circular fashion and serve garnished with a sprig of mint.<br />
