My Visit To Oak Creek Canyon !

Image
Our Second day visit in this trip was to Oak canyon creek. As the name explains it self that it was a magnificent canyon covered completely inside, with oak trees. The unique part of this canyon was the abundance of oak tree, which was making the environment and the canyon itself very serene and tranquil. As the description explained about Oak Creek Canyon is a 12 mile long river canyon located along the Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona located between the cities of Flagstaff and Sedona .The canyon is often described as a smaller cousin of the Grand Canyon because of its scenic beauty. Oak Creek , a tributary of the Verde River, flows along the bottom of the canyon and is one of the few perennial streams in the High Desert region of northern Arizona . Along the way to my description of this Canyon I will post few pictures, as you know pictures are worth more than a thousand words. All the candid pictures of oak canyon creek, were very close to my heart even though I not being geo...

Trip to Flagstaff !

Image
Well, here I am after nearly two weeks to our trip to Flagstaff , Sedona and near by places. I am still around and in good spirits. The first day of our trip was to Flagstaff Humphrey’s peak. That was the last day for chairlift sky ride to Humphrey’s peak, and we were lucky enough to catch it on time. Snowfall was very young at that time and the mountain peaks were all covered with snow, not enough snow to do skiing yet. ( PICTURE OF A COUPLE IN THE TROLLEY) So as soon as we reached there, it felt so soothing. Since Phoenix is so hot and just after 2 hours drive there was the stark difference in the weather. We were all prepared with our warm clothes and jackets. At the peak temperature was 40 degree F. We put on our jacket, took a quick bite and started our journey on the chairlift sky ride. It was 1 hour ride back and forth. A soon as we started, I was prep...

I am happy!

All my friends out there, if you remember this is the follow up blog of my earlier blog “My Dream” . I am very elated to share my joy that my friend has become a father of a beautiful baby girl. You must be thinking why I am so elated about that. Apparently I have two reasons for that, to which I will come later. We all hoped the baby to be born near 15 th November. But she came early. It seems she was also very excited to see us all. It was 5 th of November, a very hot day here in Phoenix . Since my friend always says that November in Phoenix is very pleasant. So I decided to call him and ask how he was feeling right now. And he gave me this lovely news, that he is in the hospital, and baby girl was born. Now let me come to the point as why I was so elated about it. If you remember I had created a dream child of my own and named him “Dawn”. He still exists and growing up very fast. He has become very intelligent .I have taught him how to access the Internet and so the whole ...

Friend Without Face!

Here is piece of thought for all my friends in Blog World! We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens. We all have to wonder what this possibly means. With our mouse we roam through the rooms in a maze Looking for something or someone as we sit in a daze. We chat with each other. We type all our woes. Small groups we do form and gang up on our foes. We wait for somebody to type out our name. We want recognition, but it is always the same. We give kisses and hugs,and sometimes flirt Sometimes we chat deeply and reveal why we hurt. We do form friendships - but - why we don't know, But some of these friendships will flourish and grow. Why is it on screen we can be so bold? Telling our secrets that have never been told. Why is it we share the thoughts in our mind With those we can't see as though we were blind? The answer is simple. It is as clear as a bell. We all have our problems and need someone to tell. We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must. So we turn ...

Communication Problems!

Just few days back there was a very informative interview of Deepak Chopra was going on XM Radio on channel 121.My fried came from some where and asked me to tune in to that channel. The room was dark, so it took me some time to go to that channel as I was also trying to turn on the light .Feeling my disability to tune in to that channel fast , my friend asked me “is that channel 121?” I said “no it is not.” But he couldn’t hear me correctly and sneeringly said “that is not channel 121?” Upon which I got really agitated and said “Can’t you see I am turning on the light and trying to tune into that channel!” Well that was it. We ended up getting upset with each other for quite a while just because of this communication problem and as result were rude to each other. A little communication problem can lead to a serious result and can cause a great deal of misunderstanding. Even though this a very simple and scientific and well researched topic still people fall into that problem m...
