Jodhpur - The Blue City


A view of Jodhpur from Mehrangarh fort tell you why it is known as the Blue City. The majestic fort which is one of the largest in India is situated on a small hill and overlooks the city. No doubt it is an imposing structure. I have always felt that while the residents of the fort must have felt very secure, the residents who lived below in the open must have felt very vulnerable as they would have to bear the brunt of the marauding armies.

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)

Bamboo leaves at home

Bamboo leaves at home Bamboo leaves make fascinating visuals. When seen against light, they look stunning. Shot a series of pictures of these bamboo leaves at the balcony of our apartment. It is fresh green and shades of green with little bit of yellow thrown in at times. Very fresh colours they are.  It had rained for quite some time when I shot these pictures. The atmosphere was perfect. It was as if the conditions were created such that I could capture the true colours with all their hues and the freshness of this life form.  The colours stood out as the leaves were freshly washed with few droplets still gently rolling down the leaves as if to tell the story of the rains that had washed them clean and fresh.
