httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CX6F2RW2YM Recently I was at Mussoorie at the invitation from Ilbert Manor. It was built in 1840s and now restored. I have to do a more detailed post but sometimes other things come in between. In fact today I thought I would not be able to post anything, I felt too tired and it was…

The Fanny Parkes Room at Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUuuGvX396A I stayed at the Fanny Parkes room at the Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie. It has one of the best views at the entire property. And I specially liked the no smoking sign that said “no one has smoked here since 1840, we would appreciate your keeping the tradition alive.” For those of you who are on…
Back from Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie
I am now back from Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie. It was a little different from my usual holidays in the sense that I walked and walked only for one day. The rest of the days, the favorite activity was food in front of the TV and lots of tea. I had read before going (on their…
Off for a Few Days
I am off for a few days. I initially thought I would carry the laptop. But it is in demand at home too. In this confusion I have not scheduled any posts. I will be back with a lot more pictures early in the coming week. In the mean while enjoy some Gulab Jamuns.
Skywatch Friday- Day Break over Dhunda, Uttarakhand, India
This submission for Skywatch Friday (and thank God it is Friday) was clicked during my trek in Uttarakhand. The only time in life I willingly get up at 4.30-4.45 am and get out to click pictures at the day break.
Red Fort, Delhi
I have been living in the National Capital Region (NCR) now for almost a decade and yet this was my fist visit to the Red Fort Premises. And this one was also not planned. I had to get my camera serviced. Earlier it used to happen on the command prompt. Both my nephews whom I refer to…
It has been a Long Day
Went to the UK visa Gods today at Nehru Place, they at least took my application. And they are efficient. Then I had to go to Chandni Chowk to get the sensor dust removed from my camera and the zoom lens repaired. Left at around 12.00 noon and came back at 9.30 at night. Tired….
Mussoorie Bound Again
I am Mussoorie bound once again in this week at the invitation of a property. More once I come back. Looking forward to it. Last week for three days I had red rashes all over. That put a lot of things in perspective. Earlier if it was a trip just to Mussoorie, now it is a trip…
Realization through a Name like Karkarduma
I was traveling to Noida (yes I am at my sister’s place) on the Delhi Metro. I boarded from Rajouri Garden and didn’t bother to inquire where was the train headed that was pulling in as I entered the platform. I got inside the women’s only coach and at first did not find a place…
