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

Giechburg

The Giechburg is a partly reconstructed hilltop castle located in the town of Scheßlitz in Bavaria, Germany. There was a hilltop fort at the site from at least Neolithic times, and the castle enters written history in 1125. In 1390, it entered the possession of the prince-bishops of Bamberg, and its history thereafter is closely allied to the bishopric and the city of Bamberg. The castle was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the subsequent centuries before undergoing extensive redevelopment between 1599 and 1609. It became less useful to the prince-bishops over the subsequent centuries however, and eventually fell into ruin. After a period in the 19th and 20th centuries in the hands of the von Giech family, the castle was eventually acquired by the district of Bamberg in 1971 and reconstructed as a conference and hospitality centre. This 2021 aerial photograph shows the Giechburg viewed from the north, with the village of Peulendorf in the background.
