I've had my eyes on the Billy goat trail for a while now. With a beautiful foggy forecast, this Sunday was a great day to head to the woods. We reached the Chesapeake and Ohio National Historic park in about an hour's time, only to realise that the Billy Goat section A and B trails…

Photo taken at: Mount Garfield First hike with the AMC. Four hours climb up to the summit with icy conditions in the last 1000ft. Microspikes saved the day! Under tree line pretty much all the way till the end. The peak does open up to a 360 degree view. Could spot quite a few other…

The Drowning Machine

I've always been fascinated by water and the raw power that nature subtly dissolves in it. Having recently procured a Kayak and with plans to use it to the most this summer, this brilliant short from the Dirtbag Diaries couldn't be more timely!

Over the last 12 or so years that I've been hiking now, I've learnt a ton from my goof-ups. I believe in taking calculated risks and am reasonably okay with 'winging' a hike as long as I have the right gear and know what the game-plan is. Still, every hike that I've been on and…

This series helped dissect the effects of such projects through various angles and brought up some pretty interesting facts. One of those must-listen-to…

The commerce clause

Feb 6, 2018Srikanth PerinkulamListenchatter, more perfect, Radiolab

Commerce clause, the 14th amendment and quite some over-reach... Podcast: More Perfect - One Nation, Under Money An unassuming string of 16 words tucked into the Constitution grants Congress extensive power to make laws that impact the entire nation. The Commerce Clause has allowed Congress to intervene in all kinds of situations — from penalizing…
