Rain washed Twilight hour
Today it rained in the evening and for an hour or so, around 6 pm the skies cleared and the Sun bid goodbye for the day … Captured the beautiful twilight hour in a few photographs that do no justice to the spectacle :).
The True Eco-Warriors – Rewarded
We were eagerly awaiting the announcement of the Padma awards this year as we knew that there would be several “unknown” greats that the awards will honour.

Postcards from Khajjiar
Khajjiar took our breath away … It’s not called the mini Switzerland for nothing. It’s stunning and deserves a separate post :). The honest truth is I just didn’t feel like leaving from there. It’s a tiny lake in the middle of lush green meadows ringed with Deodar trees. We were there on April 28th … Read more
