Skywatch Friday- The Crow and the Sun
I like to click a lot of bird pictures. So when the light started fading it was time for me to head home. While walking back I saw this crow sitting nicely in the frame with the sun. So which one do you like more? The crow and the sun or the crow and…
On Cloud Nine!
So today was the last day of Sir Bonington’s visit to our campus and the agenda was the most special for me. He was giving away professional development certificates to faculty members and I was one of the recipients. So here I am grinning from ear to ear with Sir Chris Bonington while receiving my certificate. And there…
Meeting Sir Chris Bonington
I read his book Bonington’s Everest a few months back and knew about the failed 1972 South West face attempt, the successful 1975 South West face attempt where he didn’t climb the peak himself as the leader of the expedition and then the successful climb of Everest in 1985. In between there was a disaster…
A Blue Throat
A Blue Throat, clicked with my new Canon 75-300, I am loving it. Such a beautiful bird and I always find it near the drainage!

Souvenir Watch from Jaisalemer, Rajasthan
I like souvenirs a lot. They are colorful and they look so good, they lend a charm to the place. However, instead of buying I like clicking pictures of them. At Jaisalmer, the road along the fort is full of souvenirs and I had a gala time clicking pictures. Even though it is not green…
Dahi ke Kebab and Masala Papad
I got to eat Dahi ke Kebab for the first time at Suryagarh. I am not much of a foodie myself so I appreciate it when people around me know about food. Not sure if Dahi ke Kebab are Rajasthani in origin or not (Tarala Dala puts it as Mughlai) but I for sure ate…
