TuliPhilosphy
A guilt-free B/W this time around! loved the light, loved the texture, loved the way these Tulips gave each other company! Good friends with their own spaces, partners with their own zones! Tulips could very well be a philosophy in addition to being such beautiful flowers!
And a few more of these beauties below…

Pushkar, Rajasthan
I have written about this trip earlier here, and some pictures were also posted in Flickr, however after my FlickrPro account expired and I decided to continue with the free one, these photographs are no longer available on Flickr.
Some photographs from a trip to the Holy Towns of Pushkar and Ajmer…
A quote stressing the fact that effort has to work with luck! It translates to “luck can give you flour but not make bread for you…“
An interesting arrangement here… An empty chair, however the man in the picture chooses to let it be and sit on the pavement!
This is the Ajmer Sharif Dargah! What I love about Mosques and Gurudwaras is that you cannot enter them (or atleast the instructions say so) without washing your hands and feet.
Getting three generations in one single photograph is always a pleasure!
There was something very intriguing about this little girl. So engrossed in her own world!
Here is the entire album for you….

Dev Anand is here to stay!
He might have died yesterday, however he is going to be around for as long as time stays! For as long as people would be
- going on long drives
- playing Antakshri
- participating in singing competitions
- singing to feel good
- watching classic India Cinema
- enjoying listening to oldies by Hemant Kumar, Kishor Kumar, Mohd. Rafi and such
Dev Anand is not going to sign any new autographs for sure, but what he did is going to remain!
Forever!
And if I talk about myself, Dev Anand’s golden collection from HMV is going to be playing in my car every single time I drive back home from long drives! I call it the “driving home” music! I would not even know where to start from when it comes to selecting a favorite, however here is one that seems apt today!!

Our routemap for the trip :

An important thing to note is
If you are going straight to Bhilwara or beyond, and Pushkar is not one of your pit-stops, make sure that you take a left turn about 8 kms before Kishangarh… A flyover is your landmark… If you were to go to Kishangarh, you would have to go under it, and if you are going towards Bhilwara, you are to take left!
