A Religious Procession

Religious Procession

Saw this last week sometime on my way to office. There were quite a few people walking on a really hot summer day to somewhere! There were hardly any women in this lot, if I think of it probably none.

Talking about hot days, it rained here today and the weather is quite pleasant.

    The thing I miss about rains in India is how uplifting it is for most people. The last time I was in India during monsoon everyone left work and went to the terrace when it started raining. I never see that happen here.

      Pooja maybe you need 42 degree Celsius without AC to have that kind of a reaction? 😀

      Chitra then I would have been on the other side of the road, and it still would not be clear. 😀

      I feel birds know when I don’t have a camera with me. And the most interesting ones decide to appear then only Anu.
