My pictures with their little stories

Save Dhangkar campaign poster at Dhangkar monastery Save Dhangkar is an initiative of concerned citizens which includes architects, photographers, geologists and others who through their collective efforts have done remarkable work in ensuring that this 1000+ year old monastery in Spiti does not wither away due to toll of the natural forces and human intervention.

Bench at Il Palazzo I like benches especially in open spaces. They are great places to sit down, connect with the surroundings and contemplate. This bench at Hotel Il Palazzo, Panchgani was too colourful and inviting to resist picking up few visuals.

Misty at Mahabaleshwar Club Cannot forget the days at Mahabaleshwar Club just before the onset of monsoon. The weather had started to change, clouds had started to come in with an occasional drizzle and mist. The club has an old world charm and this particular time of the year made it even more charming.

Blue at Goa Spotted this blue wall while walking in the streets of Goa . The signage of the jeweller in thick golden letters on a dark blue background and the dark brown door made this a compelling visual for me.

Door at Goa Noticed this unique name plate on a house door while walking around in Goa . The light and shadow on the closed door created a visual which had to be captured.

A much needed break...may be. Noticed these three security personnel with their dog at Kolkata airport . They seemed to be going through something very interesting in the newspaper or magazine. This was possibly a much needed break for them or was it ?

On top of Dhangkar monastery, Spiti While the experience of feeling the 1000 year tradition of worship and meditation inside Dhangkar monastery was humbling,  the nature opened up the vision when we went atop the monastery. The quiet of the mountains and snow coexisted with the sound of the wind.
