Chilika
Chilika
Chilika is a largest brackish water lagoon in India situated on the east-coast of India. It supports a wide assemblage of marine, brackish and freshwater flora and fauna. The lagoon supports the largest congregations of the migratory and non migratory birds in the country, particularly during the winter. Flocks of migratory waterfowl arrive from as far as the Caspian Sea, Lake Baikal, Aral Sea, remote parts of Russia, Kirghiz steppes of Mongolia, Central and South East Asia, Ladakh and the Himalayas, to feed and breed on its fertile waters. It hosts over 205 species of birds during the peak migratory season of which at least 97 are intercontinental migrants. Chilika undergoes a cyclical variation in salinity throughout the year, with different patterns seen in separate sectors. It is this periodicity in salinity that allows freshwater as well as marine and estuarine species to thrive in the lagoon. Boats, to tour the lake, can be hired at Balugan Barkul and Rambha.
Connectivity :-
It is well connected to the Chennai and Kolkata through National Highway No 5, and the Chennai Kolkata rail line passes along the western bankof the Lagoon Balugaon, with Balugaon, Chilika and Rambha being the main stations along the Western shoreline of the lagoon. Nearest airport is Bhubaneswar, about 120 km away.
Climate :-
Typically tropical climate. December and January is relatively cold. June to September is the monsoon season.
Accomodation :-
Swosti Palm Resort. Details..
Panthanivas and Ashoka hotels at Balugaon by OTDC.

Language :-
It is recommended to hire a guide. They can speak English and Hindi will accent. Locally Oriya is spoken and Telugu because of proximity with Andhra Pradesh.
There are many islands near by for tourists. Namely :-
SAND-BAR AND MOUTH OF CHILIKA LAGOON

Lahore was rocked not by batting shots of Lankan or Paki players. What rocked Lahore in early morning action on 3rd Match was militants in Pakistan getting the Srilankan players in line of fire of AK series assault rifles. And there were literally in line of fire with many of taking bullet shots on their body though none of them have proved fatal so far but it's certain to bring end to cricketing career of many of these players and umpires.
While all this going on in the immediate neighborhood, IPL seems to providing enough of carrot in terms of $$s and Indian government seems to be equipped enough to keep the militants at bay in the largely porous and free country that India is. Check the Aussies vouching to be in India to join IPL action in 2009.

India vs SA - 2nd test on going 11th April to 15th April
Singapore
Singapore
Position:- Latitude:1.14 N Longitude:103.55 E
Climate:- Tropical
Distance from India:- Chennai 2891 km, Kolkata 2876 km, Portblair 1686 km.
Population:- 4.5 Million in June 2007.
Language:- English, Variations of chinese, Malay, Tamil.
Currency:- Singapore Dollar. [1 SGD = 26-29 INR Approx].
Majority of the population are Chinese origin followed by Malay and Indians. Some part of the population is from western countries. Singapore is considered a world city on lines similar to Newyork and London.
Advantage is being so close to India. Connectivity to most of the Indian cities in south, north, east and west is very good. It takes about same time as moving from one Indian city to another Indian city.
There is virtually no corruption and quite peaceful country in terms of crime and safety. Entire city works hard for day to day leaving and for old age savings. It's not a pensioners paradise. It's city for hard working people. It's better if both of you work. It helps to increase your house hold income.
Maids are available to take care of house hold chores. It will cost you about SGD 800 per month including hidden cost unless and until faced with some medical problems with the maid. You have to take care of maid medical needs.
Public transport system is very good for day to day commuting for locals and tourists. It's almost impossible to get lost in the city with so many marking and road sign. From anywhere taxi is just a call away. For occasional commuting you can use taxi service. Taxi drivers are very pleasant and understand and speak English very well.
Food wise, it's paradise. You get choice of cuisine from all over the world. For Indians there are plenty of restaurants and outlets serving Indian food including pure vegetarian Indian cuisine.
Normally there is no practice to tip in restaurant or Taxi or for that matter at any place.
Costliest thing in the cities which will burn the biggest hole in your purse are : Housing rent, Health care in absence of proper insurance, Private and higher education. Government subsidized education till secondary level is excellent but it does not matches with Indian CBSE/ICSE curriculum. There are many of the famous Indian schools offering CBSE/ICSE/International school curriculum.
Country allows you go opt for PR[Permanent Resident] status if you are planning to stay for long term. There are many benefits linked to becoming a PR if you intend to stay for long term. Few subsidies and cost saving avenues for buying public housing opens up. Later you can opt for becoming a citizen as well. For now there is no dual citizenship agreement with India. So, you have to give up Indian citizenship if you take Singapore citizenship. So choosing to opt for PR and citizenship becomes an individual choice and most of Indians are always in two minds about it.
People of Indian races have mostly thrived here as executives and biz tycoons in IT, Banking, Finance, Health Care sectors.
