BMW is a name that rings a bell, doesn’t it? The BMW is a manufacturer of bikes and automobiles and has for years ruled the automotive industry. The headquarters of this company is based in Munich, Germany. What does BMW stand for?

Man (which includes women) is a gambler by instinct. We gamble on everything be it a cricket match, the weather, outcome of a war or skirmish, whether the boss will come to the office in time, what kind of food will be available for lunch, and everything which the mind can conceive of and imagine. With gambling being so much a part of our lives, it is strange that very few cities have been designed for the exclusive purpose  [...]

    The Super Duper San Juan – Puerto Rico
    Did I board a wrong flight? How am I in Spain? Quite Freaky and really really strange! If you find yourself saying similar things to yourself; WAIT! You’re absolutely normal. Puerto Rica is enlivened by the relics of the yester-years; although the country is much guarded within the territories of the United States of America, any visitor can be deceived tripping over wondering if they have forayed into the Spanish limits. The hotels and resorts still maintain a Spanish ambience. The fluttering flag by the sea-shore pacifies one that yes, it is very much the American lands. Be it any city in Puerto Rico, ranging from the Aguadilla to the Rincon, Ponce to the Cabo Rojo or even the Culebra Island and San Juan, the Puerto Ricon air is filled with the beats of reggae. Be it the local eatery by the beach or a bazaar that is pulsating  [...]

    When in Agra, Visit the Red Fort
    When people visit Agra in India, they generally end up marking out some time to visit the Taj Mahal. There is a lot more that the region has to offer to everyone who decides to visit it. The Agra Fort stands at a distance of lower than 2 kilometers from the Taj Mahal. The Heydays of Agra: The history of Agra is known to date back to around 2500 years. It wasn’t until the days of the Mughal emperors (Muslim rulers) that this region got the status of being a provincial city. Humayun, son of Babur, who was the founder of the Mogul empire, received a number of precious gems and stones from the family of the King of Gwalior. One of these gifts included the oh-so-famous Kohinoor diamond. This precious and unique diamond is today said to be in the custody of the English, who had ruled over India for a good 150 years. But things got even  [...]

    The Timeless Syrian Saga
    No! Before you begin to connect Syria with a land of terrorists, or fanatics or alike; its time to rise up from false media projections. To the contrary, of what is commonly gathered of Syria, this middle-east nation is one of the most hospitable countries to visit with very friendly people who treat guests with much warmth and friendliness. Once you come to Syria, you love Syria forever! Like it is said, ‘Simplicity is most beautiful.’ It can be similarly summed up for Syria whose undying charm comes straight out of its effortless enigma. However, the commercialization plan is high up on the agenda of Syria. Especially post Bashar-al-Assad entrance into the lineage to take charge of the country. Today, Syria stands as a leading destination and a nation with an open outlook evolving by the day. Though, not a scowl of uncontrolled  [...]

With gambling being so much a part of our lives, it is strange that very few cities have been designed for the exclusive purpose of gambling and these are obviously some of the major and most popular tourist attractions in the world. Such places include the Casinos of Kathmandu, the island of Macau, Genting Heights not far from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, the entire area of Monaco in Monte Carlo and a few more. However, nowhere is the spirit of gambling captured in giant mentions and casinos as it is the United States of America. While Las  [...]

    Bananas about cabanas
    Having fun by the beach side is no longer what it used to be. Sure, you’ve still got the white sands crinkling below your feet (that’s if you’re savvy and picked the right spot), the sparkling azure waters lapping at your feet and, on a good day, the aroma of freshly cooked tickling your olfactory senses. But it still isn’t what it used to be; that beachside cabana is no longer that perfect sultry summer getaway, it’s now a perfect piece of real estate everyone wants a piece of. From honeymooning couples looking to make love and a whole lot of memories to high rollers looking to buy a slice of nature, everything is now commercialized with no pleasure spared. Why then, do I feel like my spirits have fallen through the floor and distinctly deflated? At one time, the sun-lounge was a thing of much wonder to covet, drawing  [...]

    The Red Waters Around the World
    What is a red tide? This is a naturally-occurring concentration of a microscopic alga called Karenia brevis (which was formerly known as Gymnodinium breve). In some cases, under certain kinds of environmental conditions, these microscopic algae will be able to grow and multiply quickly. This will end up creating blooms which will make the ocean appear brown or red to the people. People often call these blooms the ‘red tide’, owing to the color that the water takes on. This organism is capable of producing a toxin which is known to affect and debilitate the central nervous system of fishes. This ends up paralyzing the fishes that are no longer able to breathe normally. As a result of this phenomenon, the red tide is often known to result in masses of dead fishes which end up washing up on the Gulf beaches. What causes red tides? The  [...]
