Mani Bhavan





Mani Bhavan is a memorial for Mahatma Gandhi, the most important freedom fighter of India. It is located in Mumbai, alongside a small lane. It is also where Gandhi used to live when he came to Mumbai.

He did not have 'Mahatma' in his name. It literally means 'great soul' and was given by the people when he came back from South Africa. His actual name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi or M.K.Gandhi.

This place was also where he launched the Satyagraha act in March, 1919. He had a lot of association with Mani Bhavan. He also had a major library over here which had over 50,000 books.

They had a small auditorium which showed his speeches and important scenes in his life. There was also a picture gallery which showcased the different stages in his life. It was really nice. He also  had a letter from Einstein telling his famous line; 'Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth' to Gandhi.

The best part of this place, I think was the story of Mahatma Gandhi in a miniature form. I really loved that part. This story was told in 28 tables.

 It is highly recommended to go here, if you have time.

Trip to Genting Highlands, Malaysia

On a school excursion, I  went to Genting Highlands from 23rd of September to 25th of September, 2 nights and 3 days. My school, Global Indian International School were taking us by coach. DAY 1 We had to reach school at 6 am in the morning. We left from school at 7. The ride was quite smooth. We did immigration at Tuas checkpoint. As soon as you do immigration you're in Johor. As Singapore is an island, it is separated from Malaysia. So, there  had to be a bridge connecting these both. On the bridge to enter Malaysia, there was heavy traffic. We had to wait for about 40 minutes to reach across in Malaysia. Later after doing a security baggage check in the Malaysian checkpoint, we had to board another bus.  After boarding into another bus, five minutes later, we went to a B&B which is a breakfast place and a shop. I  bought few items there. The items were very cheap there as compared to Singapore. But, I didn't buy any breakfast there. In Genting we we...
