The last picture reminds me of how frightening the experience had been!! The whole show had shaken me... they had looked so aggressive and although we heard they are friendly otherwise, I couldn't help getting goose bumps...!!

Made me respect their courage more than ever, but also made me see how futile enmity with neighbors is...

We can go nowhere... with Swine Flu in the air, everything is closed :)

Lovely pictures. Had gone to Agra and there were some lovely moments captured in the court and on the way.People standing atop the buses, after tariq pe tariq, picture of an old man. Must have grown old after several adjournment dates given to him.

The last one is the Wagah border, no? What are the two top ones? I am really BAD at identifying all these. Hope you have a lovely time, though!

The Golden Temple is simply stunning.

But what's that phallic thing in the middle? With testicles to boot.

Some dreams

-
I started out in life with some dreams, a couple of aspirations and a few vague goals of how I wanted to live life. There were some do’s and don’t in my list of things like am sure everyone has. The most important of these was an attempt to live an honest, uncomplicated life. Honest not in the Gandhian sense of telling the truth no matter what rather in being able to openly do what I wanted to do. One thing I have always hated is the need for camouflage. I never wanted to be the prettiest, the best, the wealthiest all I wanted was contentment and the opportunity to be happy and make those around me happy in whatever small measure I could. Now at the much experienced age of thirty when I survey the scene around me all I find is a Mahabharat like battlefield littered with the carcasses of my dreams, aspirations, well intentioned actions and my goals …my goals are nowhere to be found. They abandoned the field long back, stealthily, leaving me to fend for myself as best as I could. I have ...

Famously nicknamed " dull & lousy " by the boisterous crowds, the place is a military cantonment and a quaint little town that was set up just 150 years ago. We arrived there in high spirits, the thrill of having escaped the mundane hectic lives we normally lead giving all of us extra broad smiles. A ...

A question?

Is this where it all started? This murder of brother by brother? This raping of the Motherland? We were fooled then, are we going to continue doing so for ever? Will we never learn any lessons? (Please read the english text on the image to understand where I am coming from. Frankly I have'nt verified the authenticity of this statement but I can't help believing that this or something similar was planned to bring my golden country down to its knees. )
