The Top 5 reasons to be in the Sunshine, all season

First stuff, let me be absolutely clear that I’m not speaking here of the midday or too harsh sunshine conditions. It’s always advisable to avoid the harsh sun rays and not to expose oneself to the outside heat until you have some in hand job for which it’s mandatory to move out. While you move out make sure make sure to have your sunshine protection guards along with you like the cap, hat, umbrella, summer lotion, etc.


While it’s important to avoid the sunshine to a certain extent, it’s equally important not to overdo it. If you make it a habit to completely avoid the sun rays from the first hour of the day break then seriously you are unknowingly inviting health problems – certain recent studies reveal so!



Problems related with less or no exposure at all to sunshine


Before we jump to discover the reasons to be in the sunshine, let’s find out the kinds of problems we get prone to due to less or no exposure to sunshine at all. Right from the school days we are aware that adequate amount of sunshine helps in the formation of vitamin D in the body. However, with the all around progress and development around us, our lifestyle and working environment has made a steady progress as well. Hence, either knowingly or unknowingly, we tend to spend most of the times within the four-walls under the shade. This has in turn paved the ways for manifold unfamiliar problems including muscular pains, aches, etc. Moreover, problems like anaemia, depression, ageing, etc., may affect us in the long run.

Now, after having a fair amount of knowledge about the problems that creep in due to less exposure to sunlight, it would be easier to understand why be in the sunshine for sometime every day. Here, are the top five reasons to be in the sunshine for some time, every season.

1. For beauty and health – Vitamin D helps in maintaining the health and beauty of the body. Not only it strengthens the bones, but also nourishes the skin, hair and has its positive effect on the face, the mirror of the body. Moreover, it prevents premature ageing and supplies the necessary energy to the body. Deficiency of vitamin D leads to the thinning of bones and the body gets prone to various kinds of diseases.

2. For better mood and fighting depression – Recent studies reveal that regular exposure to sunshine for an hour everyday between 8am to 10am not only helps in enhancing the mood, but also lessens the risk of depression. Well, if you don’t have that much time to spend then you may alternatively rely on foods rich in Vitamin D. High calorie foods like oily fish, egg yolk, mutton, beef, orange, milk and milk products supply the necessary amount of the vitamin to the body.

3. Fights anaemia – During pregnancy, it’s important to maintain the level of Vitamin D in the body. If this doesn’t happen then problems like anaemia may surface which is neither good for the mother nor for the baby. In this crucial stage, the body needs calcium as well. However, if the body lacks the adequate amount of Vitamin D, then calcium rich foods/supplements may not work that well to fulfil the requirement of body.

4. Controls important body hormones – Vitamin D plays an important role in the growth and development of certain important hormones of the body. Deficiency of any of these hormones may lead to various types of health crisis. For example, let’s consider the progesterone hormone. Deficiency of this hormone may lead to delay in motherhood among women. However, this problem is curable under the guidance of an experienced physician.

5. For 360 degree protection against certain diseases – Adequate amount of Vitamin D gives complete protection against diseases like heart attacks, blood pressures, diabetes, breast cancer, bone softening, etc.

Adequate amount of Vitamin D is important for the normal functioning of the human body. However, this adequate amount varies from person to person. Generally an aged person needs this vitamin more than a younger one. If you want to find out what amount of Vitamin D your body needs then surely you need to take an appointment with your doctor.

Turning points can have both positive and negative impact on a person. However, make no mistake that when it boils down to travel and tour a turning point always helps. Sometimes, life leave us in a dicey proposition – either it gives us such a tight fit that living becomes uncomfortable or loosens things up to the extent of dropping our self-belief. To move out from this freaky experience, we feel like running away, far away from the concrete cities to the lap of greenery. A place we could breathe green oxygen peacefully into our lungs without any disturbance. In such a scenario, the spot I refer to is Sabuj Bon under Bahiri Panch Soya panchayat at the Birbhum district.



Attractions and activities

Sabuj Bon is located in the Rasulpur village at the Birbhum district of the West Bengal state. It’s situated thirteen kilometres away from the Shantiniketan at Bolpur. Here, the day breaks with a cool and calm morning in a tranquil atmosphere. This calmness would lure you to leave your bed early and move out in the open to experience the versatility of the morning nature. Soon you would realise that depression, jealousy and tension left you behind from the backdoor. Image the excitement of being in a place for a day where neither anyone recognises you nor you are in your regular boundary zone. Your soul would be more than glad to lend you a new meaning to enjoy your life once again.

<img src="/greenery.jpg" alt="The wide spread greenery at Sabuj Bon"/>.
Eye catching greenery at Sabuj Bon
As you walk through the uneven red soil of the region, you could discover a variety of trees, herbs, shrubs and flowers all around. Flowers like jasmine, pin wheel, croton, Christ thorn, etc., enhance the aesthetic value of the region. Moreover, you would be glad to discover the colourful blooming flowers nudging their heads up from the surrounding greenery. If you get tired after a morning or an evening walk, you may take some rest in the widespread outfield resembling a green carpet around. The soft and cool breeze, the chirping songs of the birds from behind the leaves and branches would certainly fill your heart with romance.

Next, you may quench the thirst of your eyes by having a glimpse on the mango, guava, strawberry, safeda and the bell fruit trees stand on your way. Enjoy the moment by watching the different types of bird’s nest and the playful monkeys moving around in complete freedom. Well, at this point your ear may buzz up with an inner unknown sound like this – “Welcome Mr. X to the kingdom of garden croton, cactus, cycus, palm, adenium, etc.” All these would certainly make your outing a memorable one.

The Ajoy river flowing through the region deserves a special mention and is one of the main attractions that catch the visitors eye here. The river remains busy with visitors enjoying boating on its crystal clear water and fishermen with nets. You may come across fishes and prawns of different shapes, sizes and colours. During winter the bank of the river gets crowded with elders, youngsters and the aged coming here for picnic.

How to get there

Sabuj Bon is located at a distance of 220 kilometres away from the metropolitan city of Kolkata. Board a train from the Howrah Station like the Shantiniketan Express and get down at the Bolpur Station. From here, Sabuj Bon is thirteen kilometres away. Hire a car from the Bolpur Station and reach Sabuj Bon.

Alternatively, if you are planning to drive in your own vehicle, then the route map would be Kolkata, Durgapur Expressway, Burdwan. After crossing Burdwan, turn right towards Guskara and drive straight to reach Bolpur Station. Next, cross the bridge on the Ajoy river to reach the toll tax booth and turn right to reach Sabuj Bon.

It’s the start of monsoon and raining. Mother Nature bathing in the raindrops so that she could wear on a green look all around. Meanwhile, the Darjeeling-Himalayan Railway left no stone unturned to surprise the visitors with a panoramic view of the surrounding through the glass window of the heritage toy train.




It has been a while that the Siliguri-Darjeeling toy train service was disrupted in the hills due to the severed 2011 landslide which affected Tindharia, Paglajhara and Gayabari regions the most. However, there is a proverb that goes like, ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ and this holds true in this situation as well. After, almost four and a half years, the joyride of the hills resumed yesterday. On Friday, the toy train resumed its service and began its maiden journey this year through the zigzag way of the hills.

<img src="/Darjeeling Toy Train.jpg" alt="The Darjeeling Toy Train"/>
Toy Train on its way to Darjeeling
Beyond doubt, it’s one of the main attractions both for the locals and visitors pouring here every day. Notably, the toy train began its first journey at 8:30am from the New Jalpaiguri and reached Darjeeling at 4:30pm. On the same note, another toy train left Darjeeling at 10am for New Jalpaiguri Station. Since there was not much hype in the media about this landmark beginning, the volume of visitors was less in numbers including the locals. The children had a great time enjoying the joyride with their parents. The toy train passengers expressed their happiness and pointed out it was a great experience for them. They would love to be a part of this heritage journey whenever time and tide would favour them. It’s like a dream coming true in front of their alert senses.

Read more about Darjeeling and its top attractions from this website.

Indeed, it drew a fresh gush of breeze between the visitors and locals. Why, it wouldn’t? After all, it has earned its fame in the prestigious world heritage club of the UNESCO. Many grew up, heard and read stories, watched countless movies highlighting the joyride of the small tracks. Imagine, won’t it would be nice that this heritage ride continues forever, so that tomorrow these people could have the real time experience of travelling in this heritage ride as well.

They are twins and cannot live without each other. Wait! Life Breezy is referring to the twin cities of Kolkata and Howrah in the West Bengal State. One special trait of these two cities are they connected by the Rabindra Setu (Howrah Bridge) and Vidyasagar Setu (Second Hooghly Bridge) – And thanks to that! In 1992, the Vidyasagar Setu built to reduce the regular din traffic pressure of the Rabindra Setu.



Some of the popular places in the Howrah district are Andul, Deuli, Ulberia, Phuleshwar, Dhulagarh, etc. Popular as the second chief state of the West Bengal state, some of its regions like Shibpur, Salkia, RamKrishnapur, Belur, Bali, etc., well-known for the chemical and engineering industries. Besides, the Howrah Station is the world famous station which connects the railway networks of the north, east, centre and the south railway networks. Moreover, the popular Delhi and Bombay roads start from here and stretches towards the north-west India. Furthermore, the Rupnarayan, the Damodar and the Hooghly are the main rivers that flow through the district. The region is known for the production of fish, potato, paddy, wheat, cotton, flowers and beetle leaves.

Tourist Spots or attractions

Howrah district has several tourist spots, picnic spots and places for weekend destinations drawing crowds throughout the year. Besides, the region is popular for celebrating festivals, cultural fairs, and exhibitions with enthusiasm. Life Breezy feels pumped up with pride and excitement to cover some of these special aspects of this district in its 300th blog post article. Let’s begin with the top five popular attractions of the district.

Botanical Garden

In 1786, the British East India Company built this historical garden at the banks of the Hooghly River in the Howrah district. It spreads over an area of 272 acres with more than thirty-five thousand of flowers and fruits trees in Shibpur. Besides, different types of decorative flowers, medicinal plants and fruit trees adorn the garden at different corners. The 260 years old banyan tree with widespread roots and branches is one of its main attractions. Moreover, the widespread lotus leaves on the water catches everyone’s attention. The colourful bamboos, Brazilian palm trees, pagla trees, a variety of cactus, orchid, colourful flowers soothes the eyeballs. There is the boating facility in the lake of the garden.

All these favourable conditions make this place an ideal picnic spot in the winters. In winter, the garden remains open from 8am to 5pm and in summer, from 7:30am to 5:30pm. From the Dharmatala and Shyambazar regions in Kolkata several buses available for the spot. Visors have the option of taxis from any of the points of the city as well.

Stretching 705 metres in length and 97 metres wide, it’s one of the biggest bridges in the world. Being the busiest bridge, several lakhs of people and vehicles commute over the bridge every day. Before, it was compulsory to use the ferry service to cross the river, but now it has become optional after the construction of the bridge. The construction of the bridge started in 1939 and completed for conveyance in 1943.

Given below is the short video of crossing the Rabindra Setu (Howrah Bridge) in a busy traffic. However, It would provide a fair amount of idea about the way the bridge is absorbing the pressure of different types of vehicles and pedestrians on a regular basis.

Fight 1:1 and 8:08 er Bongaon Local fame director Debaditya Bandopadhyay is once again ready with his brand new movie Naxal for the viewers. Beyond doubt, it’s another anxious project of the film maker and people are waiting for its release as the parched land does to the rain. There are much talks going on about the solid star cast of the movie and why not when the film has stars like Mithun Chakraborty playing the central character of Anirban Sen and Dhiritaman Chatterjee playing the character of Siddhartha in the movie. Other important characters in the film are played by Gargi Roychowdhury, Kanchan Moitra, Shankar Chakraborty, etc.



Cast and crew

The details of the cast and crew of the film are given below:

Production: Blue Coffee Moviez & Entertainment

Stars: Mithun Chakraborty, Dhiritiman Chatterjee, Gargi Roychowdhury, Kanchan Moitra, Shankar Chakraborty, etc.
<img src="/Naxal.jpg" alt="Naxal"/>
Grandmaster Mithun Chakraborty in Naxal

Music: Rupam Isalm and Allan Ao

Camera: Vijay Anand

Producer: Mainakh Saha

Director: Debaditya Bandhyopadhyay

Story or plot

Even though the name of the movie is Naxal, but it’s a silent protest against the prevalent social structure and its ongoing process. A person, sensible and alert like you and me, faces betrayal in the course of life. This ignites a silent spark of revolt from within. His protest brings in a dynamic change in the outer shape of the society. With time his inner conscience and roots of hatred takes the shape of a one man revolt or protest.

Now let’s revolve the two needles of the clock in the anti-clock directions so that we could reach in 2013. On 21st May, 2013 circumstances compelled this person to turn into a protester. Now, too many questions may arise as to why this person became so. There were rational answers to these queries as well. For many, he was the limelight of the naxal movement of the 70’s and 71’s.

One fine day he returns home after leaving everything behind – especially, his past. He secures a government service to meet the needs of his regular bread and butter. Like anyone of us, he has a family where he lives with his wife, Rina Sen. However; soon he loses his job for some unknown and unavoidable reason. His friends including Shankar don’t know about his whereabouts. It’s noteworthy; the film depicts the three classes prevalent in the society in a reasonable way. Now, going through this synopsis one has to agree the film promises something different and unique to the viewers. Let’s wait and see the outcome once the movie rolls out to the floors.

Preview

Moreover, the music of the film deserves a special mention because musician Rupam not only wrote the songs, but also lends his voice in the songs. Chokh Tule Tui Dekhe Ney Na is already doing a good business and a hit number of the film. Furthermore, the film has always been in the limelight because of the presence of the grandmaster Mithun Chakraborty and he has been much involved since the making of the movie. Life Breezy hopes the movie does more than a good business once it hits the theatres and multiplexes today.

Railways, Roadways and Airways: Which one you prefer during travel?

Travel has been an inseparable part of our life. Certainly, we do spend a fair amount of time travelling to various spots and destinations in and out of the country either for leisure or for our business or to meet the demanding corporate goals. According to an analysis by Life Breezy, more than forty percent of the population of any particular given region travel around the year.




Last week, Life Breezy had cut out from its routine schedule to meet out people in Kolkata who sneak out time for travelling either with their family or for business purposes. When asked about the most preferable mode of conveyance for travel, not surprisingly, they came up with their views and pros and cons of the different mode of conveyances. Reasonably, they came up their explanations and points to support their choice. Given below are the brief interviews conducted with people belonging to different spheres of the society including professional, educational and business backgrounds.

1. Sonam Tiwari, a housewife

“In my opinion, travelling and touring is not limited with visiting destinations of your choice, spending some time there and coming back. It involves proper planning, packing, company of friends and relatives, taking along your camera and much more. Beyond any doubt, the best mode of conveyance for the purpose of travelling is the railways because it’s comfortable and time passes-by in a whisker while you’re engaged in gossipping with family and friends. I don’t mean to say we can’t gossip in planes, but the experience of chatting and gossipping in train has a different flair altogether. Even when you travel by car, you have a lot of fun, but it has many disadvantages like you can’t rely on car for long distance travel. So when it comes about experiencing some adventure and excitement, your best bet is train journey.”

2. Rakesh Mehra, a business person

“Well, you cannot compare a train journey with other journeys because it’s there to provide you with unique experiences of travelling. Just relax on your seat and enjoy the captivating view outside the window of the train – the blue sky overhead, the widespread green fields, mountains and hillocks, rivers would keep you engaged for long and leave you spellbound. To be honest, those moving scenes are like different frames of the camera rolling-by one after the other. Not to forget, it’s the railways that bring the distance close to you, turn strangers into your friends and puts the globe into your feast. Train journey is an exciting journey not only for me, but for people belonging to all the age groups.”

3. Gaurav Saha, a college student

“I love travelling and it doesn’t matter to me whether I’m travelling by the railways, roadways or the airways. I have been to so many interesting places, and believe me, I have covered some of those distances by walking. Now, coming back to your question; a plane journey may get boring at times because you need to have certain decorum there, but overall it provides an ideal experience of travelling. In comparison, I find a train journey thrilling and entertaining as well. While travelling in a train, you may relax, roam, sleep or talk with your peers and enjoy the journey the way you like. However, since you asked me, I would rate travelling by car is the best. To be frank with you, it doesn’t matter which mode you use for travelling, but it matters with whom you are travelling or in a trip. If you have a lively and interesting companion accompanying you, your journey becomes memorable, isn’t it?”

4. Sarika Singh, an NGO employee

*To put it simply, travelling in a train has its own attractiveness that interests and pleases me. While travelling hours and hours of distances in a train, I rely on chit-chatting, gossipping and light informal conversations. Doing so, my journey passes away in no time. Even though, I feel scary during the night, but my fear disappears once I settle down after some time. The most interesting thing that happens in a train journey is you come to know many unknown people and no sooner they become your friends."

5. Anita De, a teacher

"Today, by the law of averages, the number of accidents, occur more than before. In such a scenario, no single mode of transport guarantees you safety during travelling. I don’t feel train journey exciting except for the ones travelling in first class. For people travelling in other than the first class there is neither much privacy nor safety. You find strangers glaring at you and the worst thing is that you never know who is what. Besides, burgle and accidents are common these days. In comparison, I find travelling on a flight is safer even though if it’s a bit boring."

Now, Life Breezy throwing the ball in your court. Which mode of transport you prefer while travelling and why? Make sure to speak up your mind and let us know because your experience could be a vital feedback for others.

This week Life Breezy decides to add a fresh range to its existing list of weekend destinations by discussing an ancient fort in the lap of the West Bengal State. Perhaps, this would help bringing in a new flavor for our readers, who have been discovering new nearby destinations in and around West Bengal, within the international boundary of the country over the last few years with us. Yes! We (Life Breezy & me) are more than thankful to you for reading, caring, sharing those write-ups and for making those a runaway hit. Certainly, we do respect your involvement with us and hope this warm gesture from your side would help us to grow or flourish in the future as well. So, with this cordial note, let’s begin…




Kurumbera town is located 27 kilometres away from Kharagpur in the Gangeshwar village. It’s worthwhile to mention here that the Kurumbera Durga Temple is a living testimony of this historic village. On asking the locals about the meaning of Kurumbera, they replied back like the experts do. With a bright smile on his face a person replied, “Kurum means pathor or marble and the word Bera means simana or boundary.” So, it didn’t cost too much time for us to realise the ancient Kurumbera Fort is surrounded by stone fence.

Attractions

The temple complex is more than seventeen feet long and 250 feet broad. The red laterite stone fence surrounding this ancient structure is of twelve feet high and three feet broad. The only entrance of the fort is facing towards the north. Besides, the eight feet wide balcony with 69 pillars is more than a pleasure for the eyes to watch. The Jogeshwar Kund located close to the fort adds to the overall beauty of the fort.

<img src="/Kurumbera Fort.jpg" alt="Kurumbera"/>
Three dome-shaped structure inside Kurumber Fort
According to mythology, once Lord Rama along with his wife Sita came here during the fourteen years of their exile. To welcome them warmly, the fort was built overnight. In 1920, the responsibility for the maintenance of the fort was given to the Archaeological Survey of India. The temple structure resembles the characteristics of a Shiva Temple. Even though age and time has washed away the identity of the fort, but the only Oriya inscription situated right at the back of a mosque proves that it’s an ancient Lord Shiva Temple. King Kapilendra Dev of the Gajapati dynasty In Orissa is the founder of this temple.

According to a belief, this temple was built during 1438 to 1469, although later many quarters or rest houses built for the visiting travellers within the premises of the temple region. In this temple Lord Shiva was worshipped as Kapileshwar. The three dome shaped mosque structure was built by Mohammad Tahir in 1699 during the reign of Delhi Sultanate, Aurangzeb. The temple region once became the cantonment of soldiers and much later developed into a fort.

Years, ages and reigns cycled through, but the temple never got renovated. Much later, the fort came under the control of the Dutta family of Hasimpur, near Kukai Gram. While returning from Kurumbera make sure to visit the Sarbamangala Temple because you would find it in your way. The temple locates one kilometre away from the kesiyadi bus stand. The idol of Goddess Sarbamangala is inside this red coloured temple. People come from far and wide to seek the blessings of the goddess here. Moreover, there is a huge prayer room inside the temple for the visitors. The temple opens for visitors from 6am to 1:30pm and from 6:15pm to 8:30pm. There is a provision for parking vehicles, but taking snapshots strictly prohibited.

Visiting hours

The Kukumbera Fort is open for visitors from 8am to 5pm every day. There is no entry fee and parking facility available for the vehicles. Visitors are allowed to snap photographs and videos here.

To get there

From Kolkata, you have to cross the Vidyasagar Setu or the Second Hooghly Bridge and head towards the Kona Expressway. After crossing the Kona expressway, turn left for National Highway Number 6. Head way straight to the Dhaulagiri Tax Plaza. This road leads towards Kharagpur. Head way further to drive through Deulia, Mechogram, Debra Toll Tax Plaza and Basantapur to reach the National Highway Number 60 or the Baleshwar Highway. The Baleshwar-Kharagpur expressway would lead you to Belda junction. By now you have covered around 38 kilometres distance. From Belda junction move further towards the Belda Police Station. From here, drive straight for a while and then turn right towards five number Hospital Road. From here, the Kukai Gram locates around eleven kilometres away. From Kukai Crossing turn left to enter the red laterite road. From here, head towards the road to Gangeshwar Gram. After driving for another thirty to forty minutes, you need to turn right and drive another two kilometres to reach the Gangeshwar Gramin Bazaar. From here, turn right on the adjacent side to reach the Kukumbera Fort.

Have you ever thought why you look attractive to others? Well, you look appealing to others because of your pleasing personality, right? Wrong! Even though a cheerful personality is an edgy factor, but overall it’s your styling that matters the most. Now, when we speak of fashion and style the first thing that occupies the mind is hair style, isn’t it? Hurrah! No one could ignore that!




Sometimes, when you look into the mirrors you may feel bore because of our regular straight hair. So to get rid of this situation, as soon as possible, wear on new looks. How? Simply by having a loose curl on your hair with a good two-in-one hair styling kit application for a change of taste, temperament and mood.

With this cute little application kit you may give a curly or straighter look to the hair according to your requirement. The advantage with this kit is it comes along with both features of making your hair straighter or curlier as the case may be. So, this advantage is a purse friendly advantage as well which shouldn’t be overlooked because you don’t have to throw away extra bucks for buying separate hair straightening and hair curly gadgets.

However, this gadget has a wide range of variety in the market. Often hair straightening gadgets come in flat shape which makes that much difficult to use when one tries to straighten the back hairs. So for the sake of your convenience, make sure to grab a roller shaped one from the market while buying a new one from the market. To be honest, the best bet for you would be to choose a two-in-one rotating hair straightening gadget for yourself.

However, before purchasing the product, take care to check out the level of protection it would provide to your hair from the regular hair damage. Next, make it sure to check out if the gadget has a temperature control option. This is important because the regular use of the gadget under abnormal temperature conditions may make the hair dull and loose its natural luster.

Today companies of different brands selling two-in-one hair styling kits and these gadgets are available in varying types as well. Therefore, as a precaution before buying the product, make sure to find out the appropriate amount of heat required for making straight, curly, soft curly or tight curly hairs. Besides, temperature also varies depending upon the nature and type of hair you have. So, be careful and collect as much information as possible for your knowledge finally before using the product.

As usual, Life Breezy was planning to come up with a narrative writing this week as well. But not too long ago one of its loyal readers expressed her keen desire to pen down a few words from her mind in this site. So we (Life Breezy & me, of course!) decided not to over think and give her the due take she expects from the site. Today, we feel happy, proud and excited to present before you Arati Sinha who would be narrating her experience over a weekend destination which she has explored some time ago.



Hullo Friends! I’m Arati Sinha living in Belur, West Bengal. And, I am happy today because after a lot of hiccups (ifs and buts), I finally got the opportunity to contribute something in Life Breezy (must admit that!) and I am thankful to them. I am going to share with you an interesting weekend destination known as the Beloon Eco Village located at the banks of the Shibai River in Bardhaman. 

Learn more about Bardhaman and its top attraction from this website.


Attractions and activities


Although the monsoon checked in more than a week behind schedule, but indeed it brought relief to people who had been thirsting for its arrival. Now, we feel like a much happier and creative bunch of people witnessing the blue sky turning grey, experiencing the bursts of heavy monsoon-like winds and feeling to the heart depth the occasional incessant downpour.

Not too long ago I along with my family members had been to Beloon Eco village located only 175 kilometres away from the City of Joy, Kolkata. Besides the monsoon, if you get down here during the winter you would be equally fascinated by the natural charm of the spot. One special attraction of the winter is the migratory birds that crowd near the water bodies. Imagine the joy of watching these colourful birds in an open surrounding playfully busy in the regular activities. You may spend hours watching them, but then you may feel to watch them a few more minutes and seconds.

Besides, you may plan to sit at the banks of the river silently to hear the sweet and soft cacophony of the birds coming from the distant zone and view the slow progressing of the crystal clear river water. Definitely, it would purify you from within for sure. Besides, the glimpse of the sailing boats would give you thoughts and imaginations a new dimension. I remember at this point, I couldn’t resist myself from venturing to the water. So, we hired a boat for a short trip on the river water. I have to accept it had been a unique experience especially for me since because I spend most of the time inside the four walls and rarely get an opportunity to move out. Moreover, if you wish you may take a fishing rod along for enjoying the fishing activity in the river.

Apart from enjoying and viewing the beautiful migratory birds, boat riding activity, fishing in the river waters, etc., make sure to take a walk around the village. The rural atmosphere would attract calm down your senses for sure.


Nearby attractions


Some noteworthy attractions near Beloon Eco Village are Kalyan Ghat, Nanoor Gram near Ishani Riverbank (located 15 Kilometres away), Nayachar Gram (located 20 kilometres away), Musharu Gram (located 35 Kilometres away. I would love to write down and share with you about each of these spots provided I get an opportunity here to write down once again. Being positive by nature, I am hoping for the best!


To get there


While Katwa is the main station, but Shiblun Halt Station is the nearest station of Belun Village. However, the distance of Beloon Village from Shiblun Halt Station is around one kilometre. After reaching Shiblun Halt Station, you may choose to walk down the distance or hire a bullock-cart to cover the distance.

Both, local and express trains available from the Sealdah and the Howrah Stations to Katwa. For instance, Kamrup Express leaves from the Howrah Station and Teesta Torsa Express leaves the Sealdah Station for Katwa Station. The distance between Katwa and Shiblun is 8 kilometres.

Mumbai is not only a lovable city by choice, but also the business and entertainment capital of India. A lot of the country’s trade, business and industry are located here or have important offices here. It has something in store for everyone and therefore everyone likes it from the core of the heart. Starting from the charm of Marine Drive (a road curving along the sea), Chowpatty Beach to the high rising sky-scrappers would make you feel special here. Besides, the speeding away of the shiny, domestic/ imported branded cars and the 24X7 shootings of the films and serials would remind you of the tight schedule it follows. However, in the midst of this busyness if you feel hungry don’t hesitate to treat yourself at the Juhu Chowpatty with Pav-Bhaji, Bada Pav and Pani Puri.




In the midst of the hustle bustle, if you want to spend some time doing religious activity bow down at the Siddhi Binayak Temple or light a candle at the Haji Ali’s Durbar or offer Prasad at the Lakshmi Temple. Before you come here, make sure to plan your trip properly so that you have some time in hand to get familiar with the city. The more you know the city better, the more you would fall in love with it.

It hardly matters whether you occasionally travel by the Railways or regularly, or you are a business traveller, vacation traveller or a regular traveller, but what matters the most is you desperately need a decent app for the same. I repeat, RailYatra mobile app is the need of the hour. It’s more than an app; rather, it’s a must have app in your mobile phone. To be honest, most of us have had bitter experiences related with train travel. We may have planned our journey from the beginning to end and have booked hotels/ done reservations in advance to reach a certain destination at a particular time, but then at the last moment the enquiry unfolds the surprise – “The train is 15 to 20 hours late.” So, in such scenarios, we are left only with the options either to cancel the tickets or take a flight to meet our deadlines.


About RailYatri – The NxtGen Rail App


Contrary to the above situation, suppose if we get all the latest information in time about trains, then we would be saved from the last minute confusion or harassment. Thank God, we are heard, indeed! Thankfully, RailYatri.in - The NxtGen Rail App heard our grievances and launched the RailYatra Dot in app. You may download the app in your android mobile from the Google Play Store. It would keep you updated with all the information related with trains starting from timetable, location of trains, arrival and departure of trains to the next train due arrival at a particular station. The information on the app would get updated according to the location of the trains.

How to use the app


The free app would keep you updated with the latest information of the long distance trains, local trains and metros. At this point a question may arise on your mind about how this app works? Well, to begin with, after downloading the app from Google Store if you input the info of a particular train, its final destination and save it then you would get the real-time info about three up and down trains of the same route. Moreover, before boarding a particular train you would come to know if a train would stop at all the stations or if it is a galloping (through) one. Besides, you would get the info about the platform number the train would arrive and while travelling which side of the train the platform would arrive. For long distance trains, this app would inform at which point of the platform a particular coach of the train would stop (coach positions).

Indeed, an all-in-one app


This is an all-in-one app because it would also inform why a particular train is late and by what time it would reach a particular station. All these features say lot about the app and the impact it would have in the future. We believe this is the app for the future because it would improvise more in the coming times. Few more features would be added for the convenience of the travellers like booking of railway tickets from the app itself. Among other things, what makes it so special is that it’s a single app for long distance, local, metro and inter-city trains with PNR status, train timetables, train enquiry and much more.
