Deepavali greetings to everyone! We are celebrating the festival with family down south, visiting relatives and bursting crackers,and this photo is a collage created with photos I clicked of samhith bursting fire crackers. All the photos have been clicked with the Sony Xperia Z3 compact, and I have created the collage and posted this from the phone too :-)

A new trip... With a new phone!
I am relaxing in an easy chair, watching the rains lash and the waves crash against the shore. Yes, I am on another trip, this time to South India, and as I type this, at Tarangambadi or Tranquebar.

White Browed Fantail Flycatcher

Dusshera or Vijayadasami - either way, the tenth day of Navaratri is one of celebration.

Navaratri Day 7: The Golu we were waiting for!
Every year at Navaratri, apart from keeping a Bommai Golu at home myself, the one thing I look forward to, is the Golu kept by Mr. P.E.P. Swamy, of Garodia Nagar. His incredible attention to detail makes his arrangement stand out, and we await the chance to visit him and see what he has put up every year! This year, he has depicted a typical railway station....
