Kumaoni lady stocking up grass

What a load of grass this was....These ladies seemed to easily carry it on their backs. While on a walk in the mountains, some of us tried putting this load of grass on our backs and we instantly realised that this was not our cup of tea. This lady is stocking up a good quantity of grass for the winter that is coming in soon. (Kumaon, 2012)

Tabo monastery entrance

Tabo monastery entrance The feeling is of sheer awe when you are entering a structure which was established more than a thousand years ago and is in continuous operation. Visiting ruins dating back to few thousand years is one thing but entering Tabo monastery established in 996 was a different feeling altogether. Tabo is the oldest continuously operating Buddhist monastery in both India and the Himalayas . ( Spiti , 2013)

Goan house

Goan house Noticed this pretty house somewhere on the outskirts of Goa while driving. It was so charming that I had to stop by and take pictures. Climbed the steps to check in from close quarters but the closer view was not all that charming. Despite that, the impression of this house remains etched in my mind.
