Fishermen Mending Fishing Net at Surathkal Beach This picture was taken on the post lunch walk at the Surathkal Beach. I was turning back towards the lighthouse and saw these men. I am quite hesitant to click people. But they asked me if I would like to take their picture! What more could I ask…

Surathkal Trip Report at Gonomad Now
Boats at the Beach, Surathkal My trip report about Surathkal is now up at the main Gonomad site. I kept walking just next to the waves soaking my jeans up to my knees. There is hardly any beach wear concept for women in India. … but I have to remind myself to wear a Capri…
Taking a Tumble!
Restoration at the City Palace, Jaipur I have to admit the title of my post and the picture above are partially misleading. The painter on the platform did not take a tumble. It is me who took a tumble today. And got it in my left ankle. A minor sprain but probably enough to make…
Them Doggies Again and a Few Cows as a Bonus
Cow with Big Horns Today evening when I was coming home, I stopped on the way to pay my phone bill (I still don’t pay it online but that is another story). It took me a while to pay it in person. Still, I decided to buy some Sweets (Jalebi, there goes my watching weight…

Lazy Sunday Photo- Digging up from Old London Photos
The Red Sightseeing Bus- London I have taken a tour on the Red Bus in Oxford but not in London. I must say it is a nice concept but why take a bus when you can walk? I have walked a lot around Oxford and a little around London. And if I was ever to…
Fog on the Road, Cobwebs in the Mind
Photo Credit- Fog on the Road, Shutterstock Last week, I got quite thick fog twice in the morning when I was driving to work. I used to be quite terrified of driving through it when I was new with my car. Now I somehow manage without my face turning chalk white. It just turns white…
Footprints on the Sands!
Footprints on the Sand, Surathkal Beach I wonder what do you think when you see your own footprints on the sand? I know the thought process might go in so many directions! Some of it I must have read somewhere, like the fragility of my efforts. After all, for the waves, it hardly takes any…
