I have to admit I had not heard of SATTE before today. I was there on invitation of Malaysia Tourism. So initially I thought it was a Malaysia Tourism event. It was only after reaching Pragati Maidan I realized it was a big big exhibition! Malaysia Tourism officials at SATTE, New Delhi It was a privilege…
Plumbeous Water Redstart
I clicked this picture of the Plumbeous Water Redstart while walking around in Palampur. I was walking from my hotel to the bus stand at Palampur. This Plumbeous Water Redstart was a very obliging bird. When I saw it I had the kit lens on the camera. The bird was so patient that I could change…
Colorful Dilli Haat
Yesterday I took two of my British colleagues to Dilli Haat. My take was that they could shop around and see some colors at one place. Also it was a bright sunny day, when it was good to be out there in the sun. I shudder to think if I took them out and it…

Chokling Monastery Prayer at Bir, Himachal Pradesh
In December I was traveling solo to Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. I had a great time. I would usually take the local bus to a nearby place and then take it back towards the evening. In the evening I would have a gajar ka halwa, chai and sometimes dhokla before heading to my hotel for…

Images from Chennai Streets
