India

Once again I'm back with questions for a N.India trip. I'd like to plan this on my own w/o using an Agent (last option). My proposed itinerary:
Delhi-Agra-Jaipur-Manali -Shimla in December.
1) Can i travel from jaipur to Manali directly (distance?). or do I
have to do a Jaipur- back to Delhi- then manali route?
2) I do not want to spend a fortune on hotels (5 persons travelling)
so any suggestions for good / reasonable accommod.
Someone in Yahoo Answers, suggested Jimmy Johnson's
Lodge in shimla. Any other recommendations for Hotels in
Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Manali, Shimla.
3) Delhi-Manali is a 12hrs drive - any places of interest enroute?
Kids with me, dont want them to get stressed out.
4) Advisable to hire transportation for this round trip or use public
transport?
Thanks for all the information that I may get.

I'm thinking about the weather. Is it too cold? Also, will things be closed for Christmas? My kids are young teens.

I'm effin sick of it whenever I go into a chat room and I see an Indian/Arab buzzing me and asking me questions in fractured English.

I wish at least a few of them would stop and think to themselves "Hmm, I don't know the language that well, and sending a PM to this person is a major load on his system resources"

P.S. Yes, I know I could simply turn my PM's off, but there are so many people that I talk to that I can't fit them all on my list and they have to PM me instead of the other way around.

Why do hindus always claim that muslims have contributed nothing to India? Indias muslim president was behind India nuclear programme. The Taj Mahal was built by a muslim.

Many aspects of indian culture such as their food, clothes are influenced by muslims. Even the urdu language which is always used in songs and in entertainement is influenced by muslims.

So why do they keep saying that muslims have contributed nothing?

Why do most indians view muslims so negatively? In a poll by the Pew research Center only 41% on indians had a positive view of muslims. 41% of the respondents also said that they believed that most muslims in their country supported terrorism.

Also 73% of respondents in india said that muslims were fanatical,

67% said that muslims were violent,

58% said that muslims were arrogant,

64% said muslims were selfish,

55% said muslims were greedy,

and finally 50% said muslims were immoral.

So why the strong negative views of muslims in India, considering that all muslims have contributed to Indian history and culture, and all that they continue to contribute.

The RC church in our parish is an ancient one. The place is known for the many miracles through of intercession by Holy Virgin Mary, the patron of the parish. We are now building a model of the Holy Land in the church premises, depicting the important events and scenes from the Bible. The work is nearing completion. Many visitors including foreigners are frequently coming to visit the place. We would like to have it declared as an international tourist spot. Before we take up the matter with the concerned government authorities, we would like to know if there are any norms laid down for such declarations, so that we can assess for ourselves if the our church meets those norms.
