My pictures with their little stories

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.

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)

Yak cheese seller in Bhutan We bought some  Yak  cheese ( I had heard much about it so had to try it ) from this sweet young lady who was managing a road side shop with her little one securely tied to her. These  Yak cheese  pieces turned out to be as hard as stone and it took me more than an hour of active salivation with rigorous activity of mouth muscles to extract the pleasure of this unique cheese.

Rural Life in Bhutan - 1 Countryside, mountains in the background, fields and rustic people was the quintessential rural Bhutan.  So many picture postcard views this country has to offer. (Bhutan, 2015)

Temple Ruins in Kumaon These ruins which included a Shiv Mandir were like any other neglected historical and heritage sites in India. I guess, only the major sites are looked after properly . Many of the not so significant sites actually have the potential to attract visitors but then we need to change the way we have been preserving our heritage. ( Kumaon , 2012)

The Girl in Red Came across this girl in her nice red T shirt when we stopped by at a roadside shop to pick up some Yak cheese while driving to Thimpu from Phuentsholing . Her expressive face had curiosity written all over it with her younger brother peeping from behind her. ( Bhutan , 2015)

These kids are in a different world While everyone else is engrossed in the folk dances and other festivities at this village festival in Ura valley, these kids are engrossed in a different world altogether. (Ura valley, Bhutan , 2015)
