Corridors at Rameshwaram.

Rameshwaram...

A beautiful temple.. in its design and size, but a turn off, thanks to commercialised priests.

Rameshwaram Beach

Supposedly the place where Shri Ram pulled his bow-string to calm the rough waves of the ocean so that they could construct the bridge to Lanka. I did find it still. Ram knows what he did.....

Madurai Meenakshi Temple...

An amazing sight to behold. 'Beautiful' for its grand design, but sadly, too commercialised. There was a point at which I wanted to walk away just from the front of the Sanctum Sanctorum, the priests were just too demanding, yea the money. But had to stay, folks were with me. God knows what was on my mind, but its ok.. i stayed and kept all happy, including those priests..

Typical Tamilian design on the Temple Gopuram. Shot from our hotel room.. facinating architecture and designs.

Indus & Zanskar Sangam....& Anup

The green water is from the river Indus and the murky brown water is from the the river Zanskar, from the melting snow of zanskar range. They meet up here for a reason, make the water dirty and then it proceeds winding into Pakistan. Any better ideas for this place? you are welcome to comment......

I was thereeeeeeeeeeeeeee......parked at Khardongla.

Road to Khardongla...Highest Motorable Road in the world.

Once upon a time, long long ago... but not so long ago... we were there..

Yet another Ganesh Chaturthi...

As young kids we would wait for the festival season to begin, but as we grow, we dont have to wait. Festivals pass by at the blink of an eye. With time it only gets worse, why cant we take it easy and enjoy the moments. Yet, some fortunate people find the time and presence do so, a handful fortunate...

Black or White

With nothing to do this afternoon mind settled on this bulb, experimenting ways to capture the filament at its best. Well could have done better, but this is as good as it could get.

Flowering of Moss...

With the monsoons coming to an end, the moss growing along the walls begins to flower. This afternoon walking by my backyard, eyes caught upon this beautiful buds.
