Lazy Sunday Photo- Monkey at Rishikesh

Monkey at Rishikesh

Just got back from a short vacation from Rishikesh. I clicked this picture at Lakshman Jhula where monkeys sit on the bridge and expect the people passing by will feed them.

This was our first real vacation with Chhavi. I have to say she is quite good when it comes to big things, like being woken up at 4.30 am and then being hauled around looking for a room! But once we got settled she always wanted to be lifted up! Thankfully she insists that her father is going to lift her up. With me she walks quite a lot. We can dare to think of another short break in the coming months. More pictures and a trip report will follow.

    kya sohna bandal hai…..

    yeh bhi jhule ke maze le raha hai…
    but they can be nuisance….once in Haridwar, when I went there for first time….a gang stole my cloths hung outside for drying…and tore up my innerwears…..

    hehhe….strange..a single animal can evoke such memories

    Lakshmi do that soon!

    Yes Tarun, monkey business is usually filled with memories.

    Anu I agree with the monkey looking neater only I have to say neater than Chhavi! She just refuses to get her hair combed. 😀

    Anshul, the fellow was on the Jhula and I was on the Jhula too! It was close but there were people between us. I remember once throwing away my chocolate to a monkey while at college because I feared otherwise it will snatch it. 😀
