These are the cottages at the Sea Shell Resort at Havelock. The rooms are air conditioned and it was definitely needed in October. I found the rooms comfortable and it has TV as well, which I hardly watched. Can you see how many coconut trees the resort has? No wonder, at lunch they would…

A Boat at Havelock
My photography experience at Andaman was such a challenge. First my wide angle lens started giving me error 99. Imagine yourself at Andaman and your wide angle lens behaving in a moody fashion! I realized it was the lens because the 70-300mm lens was working without problems. But what to do with 70-300 there?…
Havelock, Andaman Islands
This was the scene just behind my hotel at Havelock. It was Sea Shell Resort where we stayed and even though it feels like a very short trip, particularly the Havelock part, it was incredibly beautiful.
Red Cheeked Bulbul at Ross Island, Port Blair
I clicked this red cheeked bulbul at Ross Island, Port Blair. Port Blair is full of them. I heard from our guide at the Cellular Jail that when Vir Savarkar was serving his time there, he remarked that it was the song of the bulbuls that gave him solace. Now we can go inside the jail…
Skywatch Friday- Wandoor Beach, Port Blair, Andaman Islands
This was a beautiful evening from my recent vacation at Andaman Islands. The beach is called the Wandoor Beach. The good part is that they do not allow any vendors at the beach, hence they are spotlessly clean, unlike other places in India. For more beautiful skies from around the world please visit the…
My First Ever Scuba Dive at Havelock
How do you put in words the experience of my first scuba dive at Havelock? I don’t know how but I am still going to try. I spent a week in Port Blair and Havelock. I came back to reality just yesterday. I had more nights at Port Blair and less at Havelock but that…

Sis Ganj Gurdwara, Chandni Chowk, Delhi
Sis Ganj Gurdwara, Chandni Chowk, Delhi I had been to Chandni Chowk sometime in June this year. I went there to get my camera sensor cleaned. It took them quite sometime to do so. While I was waiting I saw a variety of street food on display and people enjoying it. It is a pity…
Hari Mirch ki Pakori
I am not too fond of Chilli. The food in the picture is Green Chillies dipped in Gram Flour Paste and deep fried. I have to say that this time I was content only by clicking a picture. But in my student days I have tried a few, in Rajasthan that too, where the…
Attar (Ittar) Bottles from Mussoorie
I saw this display of Ittar (oil based perfume) at the Mall Road, Mussoorie. The shop owner was engaged in a conversation with a buyer and I got a few moments to click the picture. Wikipedia has an interesting article on natural perfumes. I am not a big fan of perfumes but had another…
