Human Marvels !!! - Any where in world only in 42mins 12 secs

Our earth is a marvel created by God. We humans are also his creation. Now His creation is creating more marvels and technology is going far beyond our imagination.
Have u ever imagined that we can reach anywhere on this earth in just 42 mins 12 secs and that too without the plane, sounds amazing and quite impossible !!! but may be some day we can and that too in a train. Yes, in a train..... without burning too much fuel.
Scientists have come up with a new thought - to dig tunnels through the center of the earth - a crazy idea indeed. Then the gravitational pull will drive us to our destination. But there are many hurdles to be solved before this type of train comes to reality.

Hats off to our engineers and researchers..

My dream - travel across the world !!

Our life (specially in India) is so much centered on the economic activities, or say studies, just to get good jobs, that we leave behind some of our dreams and fantasies. We donot do justice to them, We spend years studying to get thru the entrance exams or getting a degree, but taking a week out for luxury has become difficult. We are trapped, and need to be freed. Many musicians, artists, poets, singers "die" due to overlooking these talents. During my MBA, I met a person (Reimi) from France, he came to our campus on student's exchange. Their way of living a life is totally a different game. In a short span of 3 months that he stayed in India, he had travelled more that i had done in my 23 years. After reachin India and getting the legal dociments, he rushed to see Rajasthan, then to varanasi - a placed really liked by the French students, went to Goa, Nepal, Leh and now he plans to visit the Himachal base camp. And all that time we, the Indian students were thinking of our marks, attending lectures to avoid grade loss...
I also have one dream (apart from many other) - To TRAVEL ACROSS THE WORLD, I want to see, enjoy the beauty of nature, from high Himalayas to deep oceans. And if lucky to break free from the binding force of the earth. And i blame/thank Discovery channel for mine dream.

Some of the places I like to see:

Malaysia - The beauty of the Malaysian beaches have enchanted me from so long, its clear waters, amazing scenic beauty, the beaches - a paradise on earth. Spend time sitting on the beach with feet in water just like the one in figure on the side. Go their and enjoy in lap of nature.
Things i want to do:
Scooba diving - To explore the beauty beneath the surface of water. See the marine life, beautiful fishes and coral.









2) Grand Canyon - The beauty of rocks carved by the water is really a attraction. Now it also has 'Grand Canyon Sky Walk' - an amazing
of work that gives a nice view of the valley.








3) Niagra Falls - The massive volume of water flowing

through the falls provides an amazing view and going near the falls through the boat ride must be really exciting. Would love to visit the place.








4) Himalayas - My next destination is the Himalayas - to see the world from the top most point. But have no plans to trek to the peak of the mountains, may be a helicopter takes me to that place. In fact, i would love to trek to its base camp, i.e. somewhere at the height of 5000 mts. The idea of base camp came from Reimi, as i mentioned earlier.

5) The next destination is the space, go beyond the boundaries of Earth and enjoy the beauty of blue ball from the top. This destination, i know is very difficult to achieve, unless i hunt down a treasure or scientists find a cheap way to travel to space.
