Biking for a Cause

I tried out biking many times across the Swiss Alps, every time its a different experience.
But today my biking experience is totally difference, today I did it for a cause.

Today, I attended a biking event organized by slowup foundation with a support of Procap.
Procap is an NGO which look after the need of the disabled people. Slowup has a annual biking lined up which take place at different parts of the country.

Today's event tool place at Sierre/Siders, a french county in Swiss Alps. In the event, I was given a tasked to support a semi-blind. His name was Hanspeter, he is 68 years old man.

I was asked to guide him and make sure guy landed safely in at the base. We both covered 20-30 km track, he was on inline skates and I was on bicycle. Though, because of lannguage barrier, we did face some initial hiccups, but in the end we both managed well and ended the journey successfully.

I will certainly going to attend some more such events in near future.

Europride 2009, Zurich : There is a Gay in everyone

Europride is an anual event which is celeberate in europe by gays, lesbians and bisexual people living across the globe. This year, Zurich host the Europride 09. Celeberating 40 years of pride is the motto of Europride 09. It felicitates the gay rights movement that formed 40 years ago.
From. my opinion, its really a nice concept, though gays are not acceptable in anywhere, but they have there own life to live on. They have every right to choose their partner, and love them. So, what if they cannot reproduce, but reproduction is not the only thing for which man and women are here on earth. I hope, this movement should not be restricted to europe alone, but should be celeberated across globe, with greater acceptance from people.

Indians under attack in Australia

This time its not a Cricket rivarly between Austrilian all rounder Andrew Symonds and Indian bowler Harbhajan Singh, but this time the attack is on the students studying in Australia by rogue Australians.

In spate of few days, four Indians students were attacked by Australian hooligans, at four different places in Australia. In one of the gruesome event, an Indian student was attacked by screwdrivers by Australians teenagers. Though, Australian police and govt. is neglecting this event, and calling this event as a coincidence. But the series of attack really confirm that its certainly a racist attack.

Australia is one of the most sought destination for foreign education, but the spate of recent racist attacks, really having a disadvantage on Australian education.

In order to improve its overall image, Australia have to really work hard in finding the real culprits behind these events and have to make sure that proper security should be provided to the students residing in Australia.
