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.

Yaamyn....thats the memorial at the JalianwallaBagh .....

It is in remembrance of a lot of people who had the balls to stand against the might of the British...and mind you not all of them were men.

the nip in the air, the days growing short the cuddles more urgent the kisses more frequent the fragrance of harshingar the urges for a cup of coffee the crawling into the other’s grooves the slipping of a hand into the shirt the open air dining in the chill the hot kebabs and shawarmas the happiness of being together the return of memories pleasant the appearance of the favourite razai the early morning fog the endless cups of steaming tea the breathe which steams as it streams Know what it means? Winter is here!!!

I have been writing about my trips on this blog regularly under the label footprints . So much so that part of the excitement of going on a trip now seems to be the recounting of it once back on the blog for friends. The trip this time was no different, since right from the beginning I kept filing away details in my mind and clicking pictures all with the view that it would get space on the blog. However since my travel mate Mampi is already writing about the exact activities of the trip in great detail I am not going to repeat it. You can visit her blog for details. Let me therefore share with you some snippets and photographs. It was Dalhousie that we went to this time. 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 ...

My God’s Strongest

My relation with my God is special. God is a friend, philosopher, and guide to me. At times also a fellow prankster. I call him by many names and at times that I am really feeling good I even think of Him as Her. God to me is omnipresent, omnipotent and yes God looks after me and its not the other way round. Yes He does expect me to help my fellow beings but mind you my God is strong infact he is the strongest and he doesn’t need me, I need him. The names I call him depend on what it is that I seek from him. When I need hope I call him Jesus . When its patience I seek I call him Shiva . When very tired and looking for more stamina I call him Allah (say the word out loud without any preconceived notions and feel what I mean). When its strength I seek I call him Wahe Guru and when I wonder about his inconceivable powers I think of him as Yahweh (the unknowable). When knowledge is what I look for I think of him as the Buddha . So you see my God has many names and he stays true to each ...
