Classic Cars And A Holiday Together

By: Mark Bartley | 06/01/2010
If there's one thing that unites much of the male population (and some of the females too) it's a fascination of cars. Motoring TV programmes command huge audiences and the shelves at the newsagents are filled with all kinds of car-based literature from super-car reviews to step-by-step mechanic guides. Some people are happy just to read about motorsport but for some, putting the dream into practice is what is required and adding an historic motorsport event to a holiday, is the perfect combination.

Itanagar Exotica

By: SUDHAKAR NATARAJAN | 21/11/2007 | Travel
All the staid personalities are advised to visit Itanagar between Oct to April, when the weather remains pleasant but for those who like to take life as it comes, this historic capital city is best visited during the peak of the rainy season when the expression raining cats-and-dogs, takes an entirely new dimension. Come to Itanagar during the rains and enjoy the pitter-patter of the musical drops on sloping corrugated roofs. If you are an insomniac, then Itanagar during the rains is preferable to sedatives. The monotonous drumming of the rain would make you sleep like a baby. Throw away all your anxiolytics, sedatives and tranquilisers, come to Itanagar, detoxify your system and wallow in deep undisturbed slumber. Dozing off to a seamless and dreamless slumber at mid-noon to the beat

Abysmal Rotten Roads – a Hidden Blessing

By: SUDHAKAR NATARAJAN | 07/10/2007 | Free
Next time you bump along the strategically placed pot holes on the abysmal roads at a snail’s pace, don’t curse your fate. Our lives will be much easier if we accept the situation, that is beyond the common man’s control, and take the bad roads in our stride. When I was posted here in Feb 2007, I used to fret and fume over the road conditions. My personal new car has taken a good battering due to the bad roads. As the days passed by, I became immune and got used to the bone jangling bumps and my poor car got a new gear shaft , after it broke on these so called black-top metalled roads. If you can’t change it then accept it. Bad roads also have a silver lining. Bad roads have numerous benefits and are a blessing, if this chronic malady is viewed optimistically

Itanagar- the Pride of North-east

By: SUDHAKAR NATARAJAN | 26/03/2007 | Exotic Locations
Itanagar is a fantastic place and it is worth visiting between oct to april, when the weather remains pleasant. Tourists require a inner line permit to visit this capital city. Comfortable volvo buses ply between Gauwahati and Itanagar. The best way to come to Itanagar is to fly from Delhi to Lilabari that is 69 km from Itanagar. Itanagar has got something for everybody. The museum is located near the gompa, showcases the culture of Arunachal Pradesh with the help of life-size models depicting life scenes of the various ethnic groups of the state. One can have an overview of the cultural heritage of the entire area without visiting every nook and corner of this large state. Ganga lake is another place that should not be missed. It is a quaint lake situated in a quiet valley, away from the tourist trail, having beautiful cottages where one can spend a few days living in the midst of pristine nature. Unless you have a guide, you would miss the lake from the

Indo Tibetan Border Police- Protector of Birds in North-east

By: SUDHAKAR NATARAJAN | 25/03/2007 | Causes & Organizations
The Indo Tibetan Border Police camps in Arunachal Pradesh are serving as a safe haven for the birds of various types and this has transformed all the border out posts, battalions, sector headquarters and the zonal headquarter into a veritable bird sanctuary. Our feathered friends fly around in ITBP locations without the fear of landing up on the dining table. Birds form a part of the diet of the ethnic tribes of this state. The absence of birds outside the ITBP camps in the civilian areas is quite a contrast. One of the tasks of ITBP is the protection of the flora and fauna in its area of responsibility and they have provided a sense of security to the birds of this state, as can be seen by the fearless way they fly about in the ITBP camps. Birds of all breeds feel protected with the Himveers.

High Altitude Case Study on Anaesthetic Effects of Xylazine/ketamine During Surgery in Ladakhi Dog

By: SUDHAKAR NATARAJAN | 19/03/2007 | Pets
Introduction: Agents that cause an adequate depth of anaesthesia are pivotal during surgery and they should have adequate analgesic activity, a wide margin of safety, sufficient depth of anaesthesia to fecilitate surgical manipulations and recovery should be smooth devoid of any undesirable complications. Objective: This endeavour was undertaken in the high altitude cold desert terrain of Ladakh, so as to study the anaesthetic manifestations of xylazine/ketamine combination during surgical manipulations , at approx 11000 feet above mean sea level, where low partial pressure of oxygen , low ambient temperature and relative humidity have a palpable effect on body functioning and physiological responses( QMG, 1988). Case: A healthy Ladakhi dog, aged approx 3 years and weighing 17 Kgs was used in this study to evaluate the anaesthetic efficacy of xylazine and ketamine combination, administered intramuscularly, @ 1 mg/kg b.wt. and 5 mg/kg b.wt. , respectively ( Mones and Fargetton,1990) . Pre-medication was done using atropine sulphate @ 0.44 mg/kg b.wt. ( Viana and Osswald,1971 ; Kumar,1977) The subject was administered with atropine sulphate 5 minutes prior to administration of anaesthetic. Subsequently xylazine/ketmine combination was administered intramuscularly at the dose
