Weekly Photo Challenge: Simple
In Mumbai Local trains, you can pull the chain to raise an alarm at the train stops at the next closest railway station. As simple as this seems, it most often than never doesn’t work.

A Candle In The Wind
Its been 23 years since my father passed away, and as children, we have grown through phases of realization with difficulty.
