I visited North Bay on my trip to Andaman. I remember it more for swimming in the clam waters rather than the snorkeling I did for the first time. I somehow liked scuba diving much more than snorkeling hence it took me so much time even to mention snorkeling. Another issue about snorkeling at…
Only in India?
I clicked this picture at the temple near Jagatsukh, the one where you have to keep climbing for an hour to reach. I was quite surprised to see the Bagpiper bottle on one of the windows with other offerings. I think it is mustard oil and not alcohol but what do I know! It happens only…
Skywatch Friday- Mountains at Sunrise at Jagatsukh, Himachal Pradesh, India
This was the view from our bedroom at Jagatsukh in Himachal Pradesh, India. So at sunrise I just needed to steal a glance and then run out with my camera. For more pictures of the skies from around the world please visit the Skywatch Page.
A Seagull at Blackpool, UK
I has some luck with Seagulls at Morecambe and then at Blackpool. The birds seem to be quite used to the people around them and getting crumbs of food as well. I was not complaining as I was getting some practice with the camera.
Red Chilies
I sometimes click pictures just because I find the frame very colorful. These days while I am driving to work, the road side flower vendors have colorful marigolds on the pavement in heaps. I drool at them and then drive past. But not with the chilies. They were drying in the same cowshed at Jagatsukh from…

View around Jagatsukh, Himachal Pradesh
The day we did a small trek to a temple (all uphill) in the evening I was hanging around our host’s house and clicking pictures at sunset. I was obviously focusing on the massive Dhauladhar range right in front. Our host Mr. Ramakant pointed out this peak to me and told me to climb…
A Waterfall Near Prini, Himachal Pradesh
Recently we spent a few days at Jagatsukh near Manali. We stayed at the home of Mr. Ramakant whom Seshadri knows because of his trekking in the region. It was a fabulous vacation, particularly for Chhavi as she had friendly kids of her own age to play with. On the last evening of the trip…
Kids at Havelock
The punching pose notwithstanding, this picture was clicked on demand. This was again at the backyard of my hotel, Sea Shell Resort. PS. All these are scheduled posts, I will be back tomorrow from Manali.
In their Backyard, Havelock
This was the backyard of the Sea Shell Resort. There were homes of local people along the cost as well. I wonder what it would be to have a backyard like this!
