Card and Souvenir Shop, Oxford, UK
Card and Souvenir Shop, Oxford, UK I was playing with Picasa 3 and trying to add water mark to a picture. While doing that I realized this picture in Oxford is something I would like to post on my blog too, the colors are so nice. What do you say? Is the watermark taking out…
Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur- A View from the Fort
View from the Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur, Rajasthan Our first stop at Jaipur was Jaigarh Fort. There were a lot of monkeys around and at one point both Sunil (also referred to as Brat 2 many a times on this blog, I wonder if he too has a blog somewhere :D) and I were not sure…
Colors of Rajasthan- Restoration Work at Amber Fort, Jaipur
Restoration Work at Amber Fort, Jaipur- Colors of Rajasthan The fort at Amber is in itself quite majestic but what caught my eye was the colors of the dresses people were wearing at work. In Rajasthan people wear quite striking colors and what might feel flashy to me in Delhi, feels quite normal when I…
Hawa Mahal- Jaipur, Rajasthan
Hawa Mahal, Jaipur (Rajasthan) I remember exclaiming loudly to Gopi (our auto driver for this trip) “yeah kya hai?” (what place is this)?

Salam NSG
Salam NSG Looking at the commandos of the NSG at Mumbai (MARCOS, Army, Other Security Forces too) I was wondering what kind of a job it is that when everyone is running away from a place, these guys are storming into that place! Hats off to all of you out there. A few years back…
Will You Cancel Your Holidays to India?
Will You Cancel Your Holidays to India? It is a very logical question to ask and it has also been asked on Indiamike. The responses are so heartening. I know it is a very small database of potential tourists but it is still something. Below I am quoting one response by member Goanmad- Cancelling? No…
