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

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

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

Apollo 15

Apollo 15 (July 26 – August 7, 1971) was the fourth crewed mission to land on the Moon. It was the first of three J missions, with a longer stay on the Moon, a greater focus on science, and the use of the first Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). David Scott and James Irwin landed near Hadley Rille and spent 18 and a half hours on extravehicular activity (EVA), collecting 170 pounds (77 kg) of surface material. During the return trip, Alfred Worden performed the first spacewalk in deep space. The mission included the collection of the Genesis Rock, thought to be part of the Moon's early crust, and Scott used a hammer and a feather to demonstrate Galileo's theory that, absent air resistance, objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass. The mission was later marred when it was found that the crew had carried unauthorized postal covers to the lunar surface, some of which were sold by a West German stamp dealer. The crew was reprimanded for poor judgment, and none flew in space again. This photograph, taken by Scott during an EVA on August 2, shows Irwin giving a military salute beside the U.S. flag. The Lunar Module Falcon is in the center, with the LRV on the right.
