I recently used the violet line of the Delhi Metro twice. I changed from the Yellow line at the Central Secretariat and noticed these cute footprints. For a direction challenged person (in more ways than one maybe) like me they make perfect sense. Don’t think, just follow the footprints and viola you are at the correct…
UK Bound
Got a new UK visa today. If everything goes according to the plan, then I would be traveling to UK towards the end of the month. It is mostly for work but planning to stay back for a few days. Why Oh Why do I have to give around 70 rupees to get even 1…
Butterfly from Mussoorie
This was clicked during the Mussorrie trip. At that point of time my zoom lens was in repair. So this was clicked with the Samsung point and shoot. The butterfly (or is it a moth?) was quite peaceful and would let me go quite close and hence a decent picture without zoom too. The good…
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…
A Purple Sunbird Nest
There is a purple sunbird nest these days in the backyard. How do I know it is a purple sunbird? Because you look closely you can see the adult bird peeping out. I have not heard any baby birds as of now so probably there are eggs inside the nest. I am not getting to…

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…
The Fanny Parkes Room at Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUuuGvX396A I stayed at the Fanny Parkes room at the Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie. It has one of the best views at the entire property. And I specially liked the no smoking sign that said “no one has smoked here since 1840, we would appreciate your keeping the tradition alive.” For those of you who are on…
Back from Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie
I am now back from Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie. It was a little different from my usual holidays in the sense that I walked and walked only for one day. The rest of the days, the favorite activity was food in front of the TV and lots of tea. I had read before going (on their…
Off for a Few Days
I am off for a few days. I initially thought I would carry the laptop. But it is in demand at home too. In this confusion I have not scheduled any posts. I will be back with a lot more pictures early in the coming week. In the mean while enjoy some Gulab Jamuns.
