Ever since I read about the Great Circular Indian Railways Challenge at Indiamike, I have been hooked. So last night I invited Mark Lester to do a guest post for me and he was kind enough to agree. So over to Mark Lester and his post. That’s a preposterous claim I know, but it appears…
Cocktail Umbrella
It is called a cocktail umbrella, I got in with a mocktail, honest 😉
Friday Flowers- Hydrangea
The Chalets Naldehra has many beautiful flowers in its gardens, I am not going to run out of flower images for months now. Though I have to search hard to identify the flowers by using Flowers of India website.
Skywatch Friday- Ye Aasman Jhuk Raha hai Jameen Per
I took this picture at Naldehra in Himachal Pradesh. I was walking on a village road and took this picture looking down into the valley. It is the mist in the photograph that gives the illusion of the sky, otherwise on a clear day the picture would show green all around! The words in the…
Destination Branding and the Role of Consumers!
