Underwater Accommodations

By -

No one ever said sleeping with the fishes would be easy. Under sea hotels have long been a dream of architects, travellers and futurists alike, but the process of making them a reality has hit some rough waters. 
Jules' Undersea Lodge, named after Jules Verne (author of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea), is located in Key Largo, Florida. The lodge was originally built as a research laboratory to explore the continental shelf. The world's first underwater hotel, Jules' Undersea Lodge is also the first underwater research lab to be made available to average people.
Getting There
To get to Jules' Undersea Lodge, visitors must dive 21 feet below the surface of the sea and enter through the floor in the inn's wet room. "Entering through an opening in the bottom of the habitat, the feeling is much like discovering a secret underwater clubhouse," according to the lodge's Web site.
If you're not a certified scuba diver, Jules' offers a package of different diving classes. You can learn just enough to get you safely into the inn, or you can go all out and get an open water certification, or even an advanced certification.
HUVAFEN FUSHI - Underwater spa rooms. Underground wine. Pristine waters below your ocean bungalow's glass floor. Immersed in surreal beauty in a private courtyard onshore. "Rooms" at sea - 68-foot sleek designer yacht or a traditional Maldivian dhoni, fitted with modern indulgences.
Cuisine in the raw. Private dining experiences. A stretch of private beach or 1001 nights boudoir chic.
Bespoke cruises. Reef journeys. Floating at infinity's edge. Thousands of bottles in the Maldives' most impressively stocked cave, guided by global chefs. Spa treatments that invite you to come out of your shell - in a Unite Me Crystal Ritual or a Turquoise Explosion.

The Ithaa underwater restaurant in the Maldives can be transformed into a private bedroom, available by special request.

Dilwara Temples, Mount Abu

The Jain Dilwara temples of India are located about 2½ kilometers from Mount Abu, Rajasthan's only hill station. These temples dating back from the 11th to the 13th century AD are world famous for their stunning use of marble. The five legendary marble temples of Dilwara are the sacred pilgrimage of the Jains. They are an overwhelming blend of simple beauty and exquisite elegance. The marble temples have an opulent entranceway. The simplicity in architecture verily reminds one that Jainism as a religion "encouraged honesty and frugality". The temples reside amidst mesmerizing surroundings of mango trees and wooded hills. A high wall, shimmering luminous in the sunlight, shrouds the temple complex. Although the Jains built some beautiful temples at other places in Rajasthan but none come close to these in terms of architectural perfection. The ornamental detail spread over the minutely carved ceilings, doorways, pillars and panels is simply marvellous and has to be see

Australian attack

By -
The recent attacks on Indian students have thrust the issue of racism in Australia into the mainstream news bulletins. The Indian government has protested, the Indian media has expressed. And the Australian media toyed with the notion that perhaps there are elements of racism in this country.Of course Australia is racist. It is still viewed by mainstream Australia as wrong, so it is practised with some guilt and in polite company circumspection. It was there for all to see with the crude sledging engaged in during the last Australian cricket tour of India.In not so polite society racism is blatant. It was a good decision to not accept the Australian honor being bestowed upon Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and Celina Jaitley. At least they care about our country and our fellow countrymen. What is the Australian Government doing about it? In fact the attacks have increased. If the Australians do not want to appoint Indians in their companies and do not want to impart education to us, we too dont n

Sabah has the world's tallest tropical tree   EVERYONE knows that the tallest trees in the world belong to the Coastal Redwoods of California, which can tower more than 100m (over 350 feet) into the sky! These trees do not occur in Sabah, but did you know that the tallest tropical rainforest tree in the world is a Borneo dipterocarp? And not just any dipterocarp but one that grows right in our own backyard in Sabah's Tawau Hills Park! The lowlands of Borneo were once covered from coast to coast by towering dipterocarp forests. There are at least 270 species in Borneo, all having winged shuttlecock fruits, typical of the dipterocarp family, that twirl like helicopters when dispersed by the wind. While dipterocarps are found across South-east Asia, Borneo is (or was) their kingdom. Years ago, I remember walking through a logging concession before the trees were felled - one of the most magnificent forests I have ever seen. The huge buttressed trunks with their mass
