Did you notice the use of plural when I said forthcoming trips for me? You can imagine the smile on my face too, it is a constant these days, I guess. This is the last stretch of calm before the storm, I mean my teaching semester will start soon. And I like to cram in…

Blue Skies from Alwar, Rajasthan
I visited Alwar, a small town in Rajasthan, India in January. I saw these arches on my way to Siliserh Lake. There is no indication anywhere what they were but they sure look beautiful! A little ahead there are more such arches and they look like a bridge but they certainly don’t seem to be…
Siliserh Lake, Alwar, Rajasthan
Recently we visited Alwar on a very short trip. We went on Friday morning and came back on Saturday night! The good bit about Alwar is that it is quite close to Gurgaon. The Shatabdi Express train takes only an hour and a half to reach Alwar. My husband has been to Alwar before and…

The Narrow Lanes of the Bazaar at Raipur, Rajasthan

Genda Phool
I love flowers but I am so average at macro photography! Still have to try!
A Rose Ringed Parakeet
I was moving in the company of 4 kids in a village near Lakshman Sagar. They were quite curious about my bird photography. Even though a noisy gang of four is not good for bird photography I in no way wanted to discourage the kids. So we all learned to be a bit quiet while this rose…
