Following Tour de France the annual cycling event and exploring parts of France, Spain and other neighboring countries was a great way to start my Europe trip this year. In the very first week of my trip I found myself in this bustling and vibrant city in the South of France called Montpellier.
Located near the Mediterranean Sea, Montpellier is a beautiful city teeming with energy and surrounded with lots of history. Even a simple walking tour of the city will show its wonderful architecture and rich history.

All our super stars be it MGR, Sivaji Ganesan, NTR and the super Star Rajnikant have time and again proven that no matter even if you cross 50, you can still look young and look youthful and have girlfriends who are your grand daughter’s age. You can do all those things the current gen X does. What’s more you can even go to college and look like a student!!!! Read more...

During the course of our conversation I learnt about the UNESCO World Heritage site in Slovenia. –Skocjanske James or Skocjan caves. And I immediately made a mental note to visit this place.
