My first business trip. Great country to visit, i am surprised with the speed at which they grow. The key company involved in their growth i believe is their energy giant Petronas. Malaysia currently has approximately 13 gigawatts (GW) of electric generation capacity, of which 84% is thermal and 16% is hydroelectric, its an acheivment for the problem they faced initially.
My trip involved a 7 day stay at Kualalumpur attending a trade show, it was a fun filled trip and its amazing to see the growth in 40 years. I visited the normal tourist spots, went to Genting Highlands ( i taught it as Island before i went), Batu caves.
The limestone forming Batu Caves is said to be around 400 million years old. Some of the cave entrances were used as shelters by the indigenous Temuan people.
Genting Highlands is sometimes informally known as the Las Vegas of Malaysia, dubbed the "City of Entertainment" as it has the only legal land-based casino, Casino de Genting in the country and is run by Genting Malaysia Bhd, a subsidiary of Genting Group.

Travel to Tiruannamalai, Kanchi, Hyderabad
Its been a long time since i went on a trip, i have decided to summarize my Business travel for the past 1 year.
Thiruvannamalai:
Thiruvannamalai is one of the Pancha Bootha Sthalangal representing the fire element along with Chidambaram, Sri Kalahasti, Thiruvanaikoil and Kanchipuram representing sky, air, water and earth respectively. Thiruvannamalai has long been associated with many yogis and siddhars, recently guru Ramana Maharshi.
Good place for those who are into Soul searching, ha ha ha.
The most famous word abt this place is "Girivalam" its a 14 km stretch around the temples.
Me and one of my other friend undertook this task of walking through the 14 km stretch, i would say its a great experience, you see many sages on the way asking for something and telling something about yo. We met a sage who said, he only had fruits for 15 years difficult to believe but when u see the person, you feel may be he is saying the truth. Walking this path at night is preferable, as the temperature can be very high during the day and it makes it difficult to enjoy the walk.
It does not cost a lot to get to Thiruvannamalai, there are buses from Bangalore and it takes 5 hrs approx to get there. Stay is available from Rs120 / night to Rs.1200 / night.
We visited Ramana Maharshi ashram and we found it to be a good place to meditate.
