I used to get a lot of help from 'Wikipedia' for my assignments and was amazed at the vast content of the site. Soon got to know that even I can contribute to the site, So here I am. Hope will get to know a lot along the way.Anwaraj (talk) 16:44, 5 May 2013 (UTC) αηωαɤαĵ

About Me

[edit]

I am user:Anwaraj. I am from a place beyond the beautiful vale of Kashmir. It's Kargil I'm talking of Kargil,Ladakh. You may have got an idea of the place from the war, The 1999 Kargil War. Browsing random websites, cycling, politics and reading interests me. As for music, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is the name I would always like to plug in and listen to. I do fiddle with a camera whenever i get a chance. This one was taken last year when we went picnic to the Suru Valley.


A marmot, locally called a 'phey', found in the Suru Valley: A rare sight


My interest in history led me to the National Museum, New Delhiand soon would be guiding people through the Museum as a volunteer guide. I was lucky enough to spot an advertisement in the newspaper that was about giving regular citizens a chance to be regular guides!

Education

[edit]

The War brought about a sea of change to the place where I belong to. I must admit that the war had a silver lining in that it brought the place closer to the rest of the country and people started to send their children out to, firstly, places like Srinagar and Dehradoon that shared similar climatic conditions and later to other places like Jammu, Delhi etc. that had a hotter and more humid climate.

I was off to Aligarh, a place famed for the Aligarh Muslim University and Sir Syed Ahmed Khan. After that it was Jammu, M.A.M College, Jammu and presently I am pursuing my Masters degree from the University of Delhi

Hell Gate Bridge

The Hell Gate Bridge is a railroad bridge in New York City, United States. The bridge carries two tracks of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and one freight track between Astoria, Queens, and Port Morris, Bronx, via Randalls and Wards Islands. Its main span is a 1,017-foot (310 m) steel through arch across Hell Gate, a strait of the East River that separates Wards Island from Queens. The New York Connecting Railroad began construction of the bridge in 1912, and it opened in 1917. The main span, a two-hinged arch flanked by stone towers on either bank of Hell Gate, was the world's longest steel arch bridge until the Bayonne Bridge opened in 1931. It is one of the few rail connections from Long Island, of which Queens is part, to the rest of the United States. This panoramic photograph shows the main span of the Hell Gate Bridge. The photograph was taken in 2023 looking northeast from the neighboring Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, with Wards Island on the left of the image and Astoria on the right. A tugboat tows a barge in the foreground towards the Hell Gate Bridge.
