Like I mentioned before, I don’t appreciate the act of quarrying. I got this shot on a weekend getaway to a local hill station called Malshej Ghat. It is the perfect time of the year to visit the place, but considering the foggy mist and the rain kissed skies, you do find a lot of waterfalls,…

I took this picture from the lawns of the Kushalnagar Monastery in Coorg. In fact, these flowers I found at every monastery I visited in India. However, I don’t know what its called. Can anyone help me?
Weekly Photo Challenge: Entrance
Temple entrances fascinate me a lot, its interesting to see how any culture begins its religious learnings starting from its gate. This is the entrance to the Monastery situated at Kushalnagar in Coorg district in Karnataka. I love the play of warm colors against a cool blue palate in the sky. Too bad I couldn’t do…

Then why do I call it funny you ask? Try dwelling deeper into the idioms, phrases and sayings that…

But it hurts to see it break apart (one arm is missing, if you haven’t noticed yet). Hope its resorted soon, and the real…
