Sunset at Oxford, UK I took this picture in the summer of 2008. Being summer of course this was closer to 9.00 pm. Even though I had faced this before a few times in Europe, I always feel surprised when the sun sun doesn’t go down at its usual 7.00 pm in summer like India….
10 Things I Like about McLeod Ganj
McLeod Ganj– A Pretty Town 10. The Dalai Lama Temple Complex 9. The narrow lanes of the city (minus the cars that people bring from the plains and honk about merrily). 8. The small book shops. 7. The monks on the road (feels like another world). 6. Weather (even the rains that start without any…
Lancaster Blonde
Lancaster Blonde is a Beer! The only time I had beer in this recent trip was with colleagues on the campus pub (all the places I studied at, we can’t even imagine of a campus pub!) I am not fond of beer otherwise but whenever I have been to UK I end up in a…
The Morning Fog Today
The Fog In the Morning Today When I started my morning commute today it looked a little foggy but nothing really to worked up about. So when the guy on the FM declared, “be careful it is very foggy”, I thought maybe I would escape it. From the Car park the Building is not Visible!…

Common Chiffchaff in the Backyard
Common Chiffchaff in the Backyard Common Chiffchaffs often play in the backyard throughout the day. The top picture has a very colorful background because that is the color of blurred brick houses that belong to construction workers. In the second picture the bird once again let me creep quite close!

A Beautiful Starling
Starling, A Beautiful Bird I saw a Starling for the first time when I was walking from Lancaster to Morecambe (November 2009). Then I saw this one sitting peacefully on the promenade wall later at Morecambe and this one also let me get quite close to it! Good bird. I have seen this stunning video…
