There is a main theme about the lack of toilet facilities in many regions of the country. But, while the director spins the screenplay, he highlights a lot of other issues along the way, without actually making it look like a documentary. Every character is sketched with a purpose. The sad state of alcohol addiction, paid crowds for political meetings, miserable treatment of poors in government hospitals, sand quarrying in riverbeds - all these have been braided excellently into the main story and characters.. The film-making team showed lot of guts when you listen to dialogues. There are a lot of dialogues, one being - ஹெலிகாப்டர் பார்த்து கும்பிடறது தடை செய்தாச்சு.... ஓரு மணி நேர உண்ணாவிரதத்துக்கு ஏர் கூலர் கொண்டு வரது தடை செய்தாச்சு ....

Our agenda was to get to Blue Mountain Lake and do the small hike up to the Castle Rock Summit to get a view of the Blue Mountain Lake. The drive from our house through the foothills of Adirondacks didn’t show that the fall colors had peaked, but once we went past Warrensburg and the elevation started to increase, we could see colors changing gradually. Gore Mountain had spectacular views, but past that were colors even more gorgeous and vibrant!

Up until about 0.8-0.9 miles, the steepness was okay, and the trail split into two - one going to the Castle Rock Summit and another one leading to the shore of Blue Mountain Look. We

We took off from BOS to ANC with a stop-over in Seattle. While passing through Seattle, we got a beautiful view of Mt.Rainier! It was a partially clear day and it helped. We reached Anchorage a bit past 11 p.m. and by the time we rented the car it was almost mid-night, but no sign of it, though. Well, it shouldn’t be surprising if you are traveling to Alaska during summer solstice! Luckily,  one of our friends is living in Anchorage and we stayed with them. Their hospitality is incomparable! During the entire vacation in Alaska, we spent considerable amount of time with them, eating and sleeping at their place. Amazing food! For us vegetarians, some regions in Alaska seemed to be a bit dull for food options. So, the tasty and varieties of home-cooked food at their place will always remain special in our hearts Before I dive into details, I've got to mention about the TourSaver app. It is certainly worth the price as it has several businesses listed where you can claim the discoun
