Trekking is called hiking in American English.
This site has nothing to do with Star Trek, apart from the fact that it also talks of journeys that become pilgrimages.

(These descriptions are only indicative snapshots of the past, may not be applicable now.)

The Sea Inside
Arnav ne� Amon. The Highway loses itself into the Sea.

Lost Highway
Amon. Whimsical wanderer, chief film critic, walking movie encyclopedia. This blog is now concluded.

neverendingroad
Sumit. Senior of mine here in K. Famed for his bike trips. Go straight to the Sep 23 entry and you'll know.

Mode C
Nitai. Another senior of mine in K. Very good at writing and other creative jazz. Movie freak. Good place to get the dope on whatever's going on in K.

Whirlwings
Refreshingly frank on general life, esp that of a career woman. Healthy, non-fanatic spirituality at times.

The Raven's Desk
TheBoFi. Even longer posts than mine, and much more thought-provoking. Admittedly schizophrenic. Perceptive and sensitive view of life.

The Purple Haze
ZuluBoy. Evocative stories, deep Hindu philosophy; the mini-Tao of Physics.

Purple Cow
Keerthi. Assorted rambles on campus life, and a way with words. Salinger zealot.

the Quintessential Q
QuintEssence. Rock fanatic, poetry lover, SF freak. Well-expressed thoughts, and photo-laced accounts of life at FMS, Delhi.

Anil. K classmate. Can give Keynes & Friedman a run for their money when he's deconstructing Economics from a 'layman's perspective'.

Apurv Pandit
Travels, journalism, occasionally beautiful photos.

Sneha Nagesh
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree. The lengthy thoughts continue to cogitate (See below), stronger than ever.

Cogitated Thoughts
Sneha. Reading, guitar. Feelings captured adroitly in long sentences that make me feel inadequate. Blog continues in Spatial Chronicles, above.

Aadisht Khanna,
The life and times of. One of the Eldar bloggers on the circuit. With anecdotes, arguments, humor, and more, his is the quintessential blog.

The Pink Files
The Observer. Much Kafkavian allegory, threads of thought, and an explosion of pink.

The Catcher
Learned discussion of everything creative; occasional humor.

Bhavya
Stories, satire, school to university. And of course, food. Nice writing.

Me and My Solitude
Prateek. Good Hindi poetry; bittersweet account of life at MDI, Gurgaon.

Looking for LiFe
Piya. Young engineer grappling with pressures of a new job, yet trying to maintain the creative streak, while searching for the meaning of happiness.

Blokes A Blogin
Very wide knowledge of Tamizh ('zh' pronounced as retroflex 'l') culture and art. Account of life both American and Indian. Often discusses spirituality and education.

My Crazy World
Ranjitha. Practical jokes in an ad agency. Rather obscure poetry at times. Not for the faint of cerebrum.

Dream Chase
Rashmi. Poetry, 'anatomical' analysis of art, the (successful) struggle for a desired job.

Not an Essay
Scott. Thinks much like I used to in late teenage, and still do, to some extent. Critique of school life, and many thoughts on the lack of intensity in our lives.

Arnab's World
Arnab. Programming guru; one of the guys who made blogsnob.

_________
Quint's e-Books
Just what it says. Large collection, though with the proliferation of broadband, most of you might have most of them.

Himalayan Home
Karamjeet Singh. Encyclopedic info on the Himalaya. An itinerant life which is the stuff of dreams.

Stephen Knapp
Indophile traveller. Great photos and perceptive analysis of India from a foreigner's viewpoint.

Homelands II [Photo Entry]

Continuation of last post. Every single one of these photos has been taken on the IIM Kozhikode campus, apart from two of the freshers' party, which were taken at the Taj Residency in Calicut. Captions, where they are given, precede photos.

The day cleared after a monsoon rain. A friend took this from his hostel room.

Clouds often flow across the campus, bringing fogs of varied density. This was one such light fog. The road connects the campus, located at the hilltop, with the main gate at the bottom.

Raindrops keep falling almost on my head. The aspect ratio's incorrect, must've been an oversight when I was resampling photos. The height should be 9/8 times of what it is, in case you want to save & correct itImage hosted by Photobucket.com

This was actually taken from a loo window in my hostel. I feel fortunate at times like this

From the freshers' party. The exposure time was reduced

Again the party. Sustained exposure

Back to the campus. From my room's balcony, zoomed in
Again the aspect ratio is mismatched. Increase height to 112.5 % (9/8) of what it is
