Sweets shop at Jalori Pass

Nothing like a glass of garam chai with some freshly made sweets and namkeen in the crisp cool air of the mountains. The sweets shops owner was yet to put out the mithai for sale, it was so fresh. On a clear day, the views around Jalori pass are spectacular. It was nice to sit in the dark dingy shop and then stroll around the area of Jalori pass with little shops around waiting for travellers.

Texture on the wall at Gangtey Gonpa, Bhutan

Texture on the wall at Gangtey Gonpa, Bhutan There is this imposing wall to the right on way to Gangtey Gonpa in Phobjikha Valley in Bhutan . The wall is obviously quite old. Time and weather seemed to have played magic and created a wonderful textural effect. The range of emotions these textures aroused were as varied as the patterns created - beauty, awe, complexity, mystery, melancholy, seeking answers and what not...It was a great experience to shoot these. The light was fading fast so there was not much time available.

Colourful bylane

Cycling on Mandalay Line Mandalay line in Range Hills at Khadki is one of my favourite areas for cycling. It is quiet with little traffic. It passes via what used to be the Bomb Disposal Squad campus. Their unit shifted sometime ago. Last week when I was cycling on this stretch, noticed this bylane with brilliant colours of Bougainvillea and Gulmohar . The presence of a red car and a black dog who kind of posed for this picture, added the drama. (Pune, June 2022)
