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…
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…
