Cloth Fit for Royals!
Textile Gallery, City Palace, Jaipur, Rajasthan In the textile gallery (City Palace, Jaipur) you can watch many dresses which were worn by the kings and queens of Rajasthan in the past.

Space for Everyone- From Bullock Carts to Cars
Bullock Cart and Cars on Noida Roads I was with my sister in Noida when we were walking by this place. It was on her insistence I took this picture and now I am glad that I did. With a lot of construction taking place due to the Metro project the roads are in a…
Lazy Sunday Photo- Eggs and Egg Crates on a Bicycle
Eggs and Egg Crates on a Bicycle I was doing some grocery shopping for my sister in Noida. So I bought aalo, tamater, seb, etc. (potatoes, tomatoes, apples) and was walking towards home.

More Flowers- Lazy Sunday Photo
Red Roses in a Bunch, What Lovely Flowers! I know some people who like flowers more on the plants rather than in a bunch but when I find them already in a bunch I love clicking them. About myself, I do not mind occasionally holding them in my hands too, but yes they look much…
