A trip to The United States - 2026

Image
  The United States  I will, usually, have a family trip to Ludhiana every week. This time it was a family trip to New Jersey.  I landed at Newark Airport and it was welcoming. My immigration was done in less than 15-minutes and I collected the luggage and out of the airport in no time.  The first thing one cannot miss is of course the right-hand side drive and the driver's seat is on the left. It gets even more interesting if you sit in the front seat and when there are turns as we are used to the left-hand side driving.  I saw some sports cars racing on the highway which were half the height of a regular and the speed which would be double the regular vehicles.  A few more interesting things worth mentioning are that it is miles here and not kms, it is lbs and not kgs, ounce and not litres, fahrenheit and not celsius.

The city is a hub for shopping, night life, thai message, traiditional thai cuisine, tourism, temples, wildlife, and so much more. I have been to the city every year since 2006 for official visits expect the covid years, and still...

                                            Vrindavan - The land of Shri Krishan                                                                        Radhe Radhe !!! I was fortunate to visit the holy land of Vrindavan, Barsana, and Gokul once again in July 2026, thanks to my brother who took me along. We had the privilege of staying at Chandrodaya Mandir. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the company of senior devotees from Hare Krishna Temple.  The temple is extremely beautiful and made in a large compound. The campus itself has an Akshayapatra kitchen running which serves food to the needy school children.  I even ...
