OK, I know what you are thinking, I am repeating myself in the theme again, but no I am not. Not technically at least. This is an aerated Indian style refreshment. It’s actually lemonade made from soda and Jaljeera power (it’s a tangy concoction of spices that aids digestion). Although its monsoon here now, the…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Refreshing
When I was a kid, I grew up with choco-centered lollipops that would fit inside your mouth that you can roll all over your tongue to keep the taste of chocolate lingering a bit longer in your mouth. Kids today have to fight with the lollies to finish them off. But a colorful change, that…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Worn 2
I got this shot waiting for traffic to open up on a semi quarried road. Kinda reminded me of the saying, simple living high thinking. However, I don’t know what is more worn out, the bicycle, the steel jar or the road… What do you think?

No matter how old you grow, your old and worn out toys will always find a special place in your heart and memories. To quote a Westlife Song: “We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time We had joy…

OK! I am very inspired with all the posts for the theme of the week, and so let me present to you a very typically South Indian Breakfast. On the plate is Idlies, Ulundu wada, Sambhar, Chutney, bread-butter and Ven-Pongal. I had trouble adjusting the lighting so the picture has come out grainy. What a…

I didn’t think I would be able to post it in time this week, but I made it! I have a strange fascination with dice; I used to collect a lot of them as a kid. However, my collection has thinned out rapidly, and this is all that remains of the collection. I think it…

A 7 km Rafting ride awaited us at the Beas River at Manali. This was one of the most adventurous things we had ever done, we were sitting at the head of the inflated raft! The River is not the kindest of the lot, as it is just a few 1000 kms from its point…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Water
I love these dew-kissed bell-shaped flowers. However, I took these post a mild shower. They bloom early in the morning and tend to fold in their petals at night fall. And they wake up again with day break for as long as they live. Quite an intriguing life, so much like ours!

The city was brought to international limelight by Edward James “Jim” Corbett, British hunter, conservationist and naturalist, famous for slaying a large number of man-eating tigers and leopards in…
