The Gorgeous Spiti Valley
|
To me gorgeous skies and Spiti Valley are synonymous. I first ventured there in the year 2007. My husband, my nephew and I trekked from Langza to Dhankar . I was an Assistant Professor at that time. Then came a lull of seven years. I went to Chandratal last year and I was a professor! Then came 2015 and I went back to the Spiti Valley again, only I had quit my job! I want to go back to Spiti again, that I am sure of, not sure of what will be the status of my job!

So the search is on for the latest gadget not just by youngsters but also by professionals. After all, an update in social media with no decent selfie is of no use. Have you watched how often a customer studies the selfie pic in mobiles? |

Friday photo: Macau

Think Macau and you think casinos and gaming chips, glitz and glamour. And lots of money flowing, much like water. Certainly, I went with that image in mind. So I was pleasantly surprised to see these colourful facades, old fashioned markets, bargain shops and street foods on offer on one side of the town. This Friday, and image from Senado

A Wandering Mind
Rishikesh with Ravers
|
Driving through the mountains , I looked out eagerly for my first glimpse of the river. A sharp turn, and the bluish green waters came into sight. I asked the driver to stop, and he did, a little later, at a convenient spot. I just had to get off, and stare at her. Unbidden, tears sprang into my eyes, and I brushed them away hastily. It was an emotional moment, after all, I was setting eyes on the Ganges in Rishikesh, after a gap of over 25 years! Read more » |

Magdalenen Kirche (Magdalene Church) - A lovely church in Meggen, Switzerland
|
Magdalenen Kirche or Magdalene Church , located in the town of Meggen in Switzerland, was built in the year 1776/77 and has been an active place of worship since then. However, the church is believed to have existed at the same site from the medieval times, and another building might have been here from as far back as the 12th Century. Very little documentary evidence exists from the era though, and nothing is conclusive on this front.

|
Bandage Dresses are also known as Body-con dresses. Bandage dresses are figure hugging dresses which totally show off your body shape. A big myth attached to these bandage dresses is that its meant only for skinny girls. I totally disagree here not because am not a skinny gal but because these dresses look even better on curvy gals in my opinion. The most important point to consider while you shop for a bandage dress is the fabric/Material of the dress. As it hugs your body you need the material to be [...] |
