Grandeur of Punakha

Grandeur of Punakha


The first impression at Punakha Dzong  is that of the grandeur 
and the sheer scale of everything here. 
What sinks in is the relative insignificance of the humans due to the size, scale and proportion of the structures around.
Second oldest and second largest dzong in Bhutan, it was earlier the winter capital of Bhutan, now the winter capital only of monastic body. 
(Punakha, Bhutan, 2015)

Chinese Shoe Shop at Shimla

Chinese Shoe Shop at Shimla Every hill station in north India seems to have The Mall Road and in every likelihood there will be a Chinese shoe shop. When I noticed this shop on The Mall at Shimla , could not resist peeping in. It did not look to be a very active shop, neither the owner seemed very friendly. (Shimla, 2011)

Rope mallakhamb at Ujjain - 1

Rope mallakhamb at Ujjain - 1 The girls on the rope mallakhamb could handle challenging postures with ease and were no less than the boys. Both the boys and girls have been bringing glory to their academy for several years now. ( Ujjain , 2017 )

Goan house

Goan house Noticed this pretty house somewhere on the outskirts of Goa while driving. It was so charming that I had to stop by and take pictures. Climbed the steps to check in from close quarters but the closer view was not all that charming. Despite that, the impression of this house remains etched in my mind.
