I can spend hours next to a dried up river bed. In this case it was only a part of the river that revealed such stones. I am sure during the monsoons all this and much more would be under water. But I love to look at the rocks and pebbles and the stones, so…

Two of my bigger strip reports from Lonavala and Kaudiala are pending but then it is the end of the semester time when all I will do for a long time is grading. I have cribbed enough on this blog whenever I have to grade so I will just make a token protest and move…

Another Short Trip to Rishikesh and Kaudiala
A sudden trip to Kaudiala is now on cards. Lets see if I get to do rafting this time.
