During my recent trip to Uttarakhand , I was faced with a problem I had never encountered before. We were passing through Delhi, but we had hardly any time in the city. On earlier visits when I have had to change trains/flights at Delhi, I have always arrived in the morning and left again at night, visiting relatives in between. This time, I was arriving in the city at night, and leaving again early in the morning. There was hardly any time to visit people. I would only have a couple of hours with them before I’d have to leave again.

ReplyDeleteWow... Lovely shot! sure hope the other birds come back :)
ReplyDeletenice shots anu ... lets blame the absence of birds on urbanization. i also dont see many birds i used to see earlier. looks like they are moving to suburbs :(
ReplyDeleteBeeeeeeeautiful takes Anu. I really liked them. And the small birds will come back when these 2 will go off :) Happens at my home too, not often; they usually like to stay together!
ReplyDeleteAbout your query on my post The Day, first of all, thanks so much for your kind suggestions. Actually I tried providing INR option too, but the payment gateway I'm using doesn't support INR currency for now. In future, there surely will be an option to pay in INR.
Regarding website designing; it's one of my professions! Sounds odd, but I'm a photographer, a website designer, a writer, and some more. Good or bad I don't know, but I can do it all. Let me know your website design plan, and I'll be able to help you out :)
Wow.....the eagle in all its elegance.
