(Picture Taken at Spitok, Ladakh) In an ideal world this summer I would like to visit Ladakh again. Look at the picture at the left, can you blame me if I yearn to be there again? But when all I can manage is two to three days of leave, tell me where should I go?…
A Picture Every Other Day- Spiti Again
Magnificent Spiti- Demul to Lahlung I need some inspiration as it is death by grading till this weekend. Will catch up with the blog world as soon I am through.
Lazy Sunday Photo- Being Silly!
Being Silly- Jumping Down a Pile of Bricks I really like the picture above, my nephew and his friend jumping from a pile of bricks (when they are a little too old for this!) and my elder nephew clicked this picture. I mean when do we grow up so much that there is no time…
Monet Talk or Not!
Monet Picture at Ashmolean Museum, Oxford I am very poor at appreciating art. I know of only a few big names like Monet, Van Gogh and umm, OK, Michaelangelo. So why am I talking (or not) about Monet now? Well, it all started with this post that I linked at Blogbharti- Kusum visits the Poppy…
A Picture Every other Day- Sitting Duck
Sitting Duck- Picture Clicked at Best Western Resort, Manesar After looking at this picture I can understand why a sitting duck is considered an easy target! The bird looks so peaceful, unconcerned with the world and without a care in this world. Or is it hiding behind the rocks from everything that is to be…
Food Sense- I Have None!
Ice Cream This post revolves around ice creams and tea. Long time back when I was a Ph.D student at Kanpur, I went out for dinner with a visiting faculty from Sweden, one of the few people whom I consider a thorough gentleman. He, I think, was fond of food. One has to marvel how…
A Picture a Day- Butterflies

Lazy Sunday Photo- The Millennium Bridge (Nicknamed Wibbly Wobbly), London
The Millennium Bridge, London (Also Nicknamed Wibbly Wobbly Bridge) I crossed the Millennium Bridge (though I didn’t know its name while crossing) after roaming around the St. Paul’s Cathedral area. In the background one can see the Tate Modern (at that time I didn’t know that the entry is free). And as I was reading…
Another Dance from Coorg
This was another dance performance that we saw at the Club Mahindra Coorgtrip. Folks back then described this performance to be inspired by Bollywood rather than having a local flavor. Shrinidhi actually had posted a translation of the song (if you are reading this post Srinidhi, could you please give me a link to that…
Rappling- A Few of the ‘Adventure’ Stuff I Have Done
Rappling Down a Rock, Sankari, Har-Ki-Doon Base Camp 2004 I had clicked this picture for our camp leader (and who turned out to be a good friend too, he visited us more than once when he has been in Delhi) on the Har-Ki-Doon trip. I too tried this activity and came down the rock without…
