I went yesterday to Chandigarh for work but my work got over unexpectedly by 3.30 pm or so. My flight back was at 7.00 pm. The distances at Chandigarh are not that great so I decided to check out the Rock Garden once again. I was last there in 1988 (yes you read it right!)…
I Hate 2X2 Small Planes
I have to admit I hate flying in 2X2 small planes. They are small and they get really thrown around during turbulence. And that leads to motion sickness for me. For example I went to Chandigarh today (work) and took an evening flight back. While going it was all peace and quiet. But coming back…

Chilika Lake is a beautiful serene lake in the state of Odisha in India. This picture was taken from our boat ride.
April has Been More of Photography and Less of Travel
April has not been great travel wise. But it looks like I will after all go to Chandigarh for work. Hope May will be a different month travel wise. So for a few more days I will have to manage with pictures rather than travel tales.
Chinese Honeysuckle or Malti Flowers
Clicked these Chinese Honeysuckles (also called Madhu Malti or Rangoon Creeper) in my backyard. What the eyes saw, could capture only a fraction of it in my picture.

My first attempt at stop motion photography was a mess. But I learned a lot of things. Now here is a second attempt. Still not good but an improvement on the previous one. Lessons from the second attempt- 1. The model is very pricey, she turns her face away or runs away! 2. The best…
Beautiful Hollyhock Flowers
There is something about flowers, I have always been a bog fan. And if I get to click them in good light it is even better! Clicked these Hollyhock flowers last week while I went on my bird round. Last week I had very little luck with the birds. Let us see how it goes…

For this Friday’s Skywatch I looked into my folders and decided to post this picture of the evening sky at Heysham in Lancashire, UK. Do you like to walk by the water at sunset?
The Sun Temple at Konark, Odisha- A UNESCO World Heritage Site
I have to admit I somehow forgot to post pictures from my visit to the Sun Temple at Konark, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is only because I am rummaging through my folders that I discovered this error. I think I didn’t blog about it immediately because the temple was under renovation when I…
