I used to post flowers on Friday as well as the skywatch. But I would usually become lazy about the second post about the flowers. So I decided to shift the flowers to Saturday. These are Himalayan Meadow Primroses that I clicked on the trek in May 2011 in Uttarakhand. Found the name via Flowers…

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…

Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie- The Corner that I Loved Most
When I reached the Ilbert Manor late in the afternoon, I was quite zonked because of the Avomine (anti nausea medicine for mountain roads). I was quite quickly given the keys of my room and I headed to the second floor of the two story building. This was the view that greeted me. I completely…

Rains at Mussoorie
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CX6F2RW2YM Recently I was at Mussoorie at the invitation from Ilbert Manor. It was built in 1840s and now restored. I have to do a more detailed post but sometimes other things come in between. In fact today I thought I would not be able to post anything, I felt too tired and it was…
