October 8, 2020816 Views

Against the vivid backdrop of a giant aquarium filled with sharks, manta rays and other aquatic life, a yoga group on Thursday performed side planks, chair poses and lunges, their arms outstretched to the ceiling. Hong Kong’s cash-strapped Ocean Park has begun offering fitness activities such as yoga, meditation and dance classes to keep its flagging business afloat and offset deep losses due to coronavirus restrictions that have battered tourism in the Asian financial hub. Yoga instructor Jessica Lee said the fish in the aquarium were a calming presence during her class. “It’s really nice to be almost at one with them,” she said. “I feel as if I am in the water, moving as fluidly as they are.” The 43-year-old theme park and Walt Disney Co’s Hong Kong Disneyland have been shu...

चेक राजधानी प्राग में सुंदर इमारतों की कमी नहीं है। यहां के गिरजाघरों की वास्तु कला बेजोड़ है। यहां एक गिरजाघर ऐसा है जिसका तहखाना ही उसकी सबसे बड़ी खासियत है। कार्लोवो नमेस्ति शहर का सबसे बड़ा स्क्वायर है जहां से थोड़ी सी दूरी पर रेसोलोवा स्ट्रीट पर कैथेड्रल चर्च ऑफ सेंट साइरिल और मेथोडियस की भव्य इमारत है। स्थानीय लोग इस चर्च को पैराशूटिश्ट चर्च भी कहते हैं। यह गिरजाघर बेरोक स्थापत्य कला का खूबसूरत नमूना है लेकिन अधिकांश लोग यहां इसके तहखाने को देखने के लिए आते हैं जिस पर गोलियों के निशान है। इन गोलियों के निशान के पीछे चेक इतिहास का एक गौरवपूर्ण अध्याय छिपा हुआ है। 75 वर्ष पहले, 18 जून 1942 को इसी तहखाने में सात चेक और स्लोवाक वायुसैनिकों ने बर्बर नाजी हुकूमत के खिलाफ अपनी अंतिम लड़ाई लड़ी थी। ये वायुसैनिक ऑपरेशन एन्थ्रोपोइड में शामिल थे जो बोहेमिया और...

October 7, 2020989 Views

In Alaska’s annual battle of heavyweights, a salmon-chomping bruin named 747 – like the jetliner – has emerged as the most fabulously fat. The bear, one of more than 2,200 brown bears roaming Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve, was victorious on Tuesday after a week of frenzied online voting in what has become an international sensation: Fat Bear Week. Winner 747 was a worthy champion, the park said in a statement. “This year he really packed on the pounds, looking like he was fat enough to hibernate in July and yet continuing to eat until his belly seemed to drag along the ground by late September,” the park said. There couldn’t have been a more epic matchup than the championship face-off between two aptly named bears: 747 and Chunk, aka Bear 32. In the end, 747 pulled ahea...

जैसे ही मैं दक्षिण के मैकलोडगंज का शब्दचित्र बांधने लगी हूं, मेरी आंखों के आगे वही वैभवशाली भवन आकार लेने लगा है जिसे देखकर मेरे मुंह से एक ही शब्द निकला था.. वाह! और इसके साथ ही कानों में गूंजने लगी हैं मंत्रोच्चार की ध्वनियां.. जिन्हें सुनते ही मेरा सारा तनाव बह निकला और मुझे लगा कि मैं ध्यान के सागर में गोते लगा रही हूं। मैं एक ऐसी बस्ती की बात कर रही हूं जिसे भारत में तिब्बती विस्थापितों का दूसरा सबसे बड़ा ठिकाना कहा जा सकता है बायलाकूपे है तो कर्नाटक के मैसूर जिले में, लेकिन मैसूर से यहां तक पहुंचने में करीब दो घंटे का वक्त लग जाता है। बहुत कम लोग होंगे जो मैसूर जाने के दौरान बायलाकूपे आते होंगे। अक्सर लोग जब कूर्ग घूमने जाते हैं, तब बायलाकूपे का रुख करते हैं। जब आप कूर्ग से मैसूर जाते हैं, तो कूर्ग के कुशलनगर से बाहर निकलते ही दाईं तरफ का मोड़ आपको पांच किलोमीटर के...
