Culture Charcha Rotaract Club of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia RID 3300 Batu Caves, complex limestone grottoes in Peninsular Malaysia. The caves are one of the Malaysia’s biggest tourist attractions and a place of pilgrimage for Tamil Hindus. They are named for the Sungai Batu (Batu River), which flows nearby, and are located 7 miles (13km) north of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.  The caves were little known except to local residents 1878, when the American naturalist William Hornaday revealed their existence to the wider world. K. Thamboosamy Pillai, a leader of the Tamil Hindu community in Malaya (as the region was then called), built a temple within the caves in 1891. It is said he took inspiration from the similarity in shape of the cave entrance to the tip of the “vel”, or spear, traditionally wielded by the deity Lord Murugan. Thaipusam, the Tamil Hindu festival devoted to Lord Murugan, was first celebrated on the site in 1892 and is now a major ...

We are currently living in a world that is constantly changing. After the smartphone revolution, we have come closer to one another and our lives have been connected to each other’s to an extent that was once unimaginable. Our society revolves around a pivot.

Worlds Collide “The world is a book; those who do not travel read only a page.” Where does the world end? Some say it is the earth. Some say it is at the end of time-where you see tomorrow just over the horizon as today ebbs away. I say the earth is your world not everyone’s. Today is your world not everyone’s. Those before us have also experienced the world. Those further from us have also experienced the world. What we experienced is our world, not everyone’s. There are no boundaries just limits to imagination.  When you change something in your world, your butterfly effect changes parts of some others. Our world too is limitless. You just have to connect your world with everyone else’s. You have to work to expand it. You have to enter everyone’s world. The only people in your world are those whose worlds you unknowingly stumbled upon.   Every world is a blend of reality and wishful thinking. We try to shape our world how we think it should be. Up ...

A Spoonful of Spice Italian Cuisine  “First we eat then we do everything else” I couldn’t agree more with this quote by M.F.K Fisher.  Food plays such a central part in our lives and when it comes to Italian food being one of the most popular and widely adopted cuisines all over the world. How many of us have dreamed of casting aside everyday life and running off to a villa in Tuscany to soak up perfect sun-dappled views while the wine flows and the pasta bowl never seems to empty? Unfortunately that dream is usually rudely interrupted by the alarm clock. While we may not be able to do much about the lack of gorgeous vistas, the true flavors of Italy can be brought to life anytime and anywhere. When you think “Italy,” of course you think “delicious food”. While this is an accurate thought, Italian cuisine is not just delicious, but distinguishes itself from the rest.  I consider that tasting a traditional food in a foreign country is one of t...

Seven Roads To Hell  Antarctica  “Captain Hoover, the observation satellite has been showing some weird symbols 1.27 miles North West of our current location. It seems to be like a hut.” “A hut! Here? Who would want to live here of all places?” “I don’t know but the satellite has never been wrong before. It would be a good idea to check it out.” Captain Hoover; It felt nice to be called that. I had been assigned to this location two days ago. My promotion had been due for quite some time now. I felt no small amount of pride. It had last a full of 2 minutes before I was told that the location would be Antarctica. I needed to go and confirm the presence of the hut. I packed supplies for one week before setting off. The biting wind sliced my cheeks as I made my way towards the hut. After waking a mile or so, I could make out the silhouette of the thatched roof. There were footprints leading inside.so I called out, “Hello?” I didn’t really expect a response ove...
