Everybody looks cool on an Enfield

The boys came out of the water last evening, shaken up, but still very excited about toeay. "The waves will be softer in the morning", they said. Why do I not see it?

When you buy gifts for your friends, and they love them and use them ❤️

More magic from #Alvekodi

#Karnataka #incredibleindia #clouds #sea

I don't think we've ever experienced anything quite like the #Alvekodi #Sea Walk.

#Maravanthe is the opposite of #BabaBudanGiri. It looks better in pictures than when you're actually there.

Being #blue at the #Alvekodi Sea Walk.

#Maravanthe was a bit of a let down. I suppose it's the kind of place that only looks glorious in drone pics.

Baba Budan Giri. Pictures cannot capture the beauty of this place.

आज गोवा में हिंदी नाटक देखने का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ। जामुन का पेड़, कलाकार मंदार जोग। शानदार प्रदर्शन।

There is a bird sitting on top of that tree. It's been there for a long time. I wonder if it is fishing, or just contemplating life.

About this morning

Somebody's delighted to be here

From here, we will drive into those cloudy hills, on the border of Goa and KA

The rather Insta-famous Keri Foot Bridge

Climbing. Jumping. Barefoot.

The current was strong enough to require tethering at all times - with two hands, or hands and feet. Otherwise we'd end up in the sea.

Random gorgeousness

Most of these pics haven't been taken by me. Which explains how they've turned out so beautiful.

Although it might appear from this pic that he is being towed, M1 did kayak back and forth quite independently.

My prior experience with kayaking 🛶 was a bad one 20 years ago. This was definitely a lot of fun, and something I'd like to do over and over again.

So, you know, we could do this if you come visit us.

The sunset was gorgeous. Such colours in the sky. The photographs do not do justice.

The changing light at sunset time meant that each photograph has come out applied with its own unique filter.

Someone actually took a pic of me... although it isn't a flattering pic at all.

The boys had a lot of fun ❤️

Sunday was spent sailing on the Chapora River

Have you wished the birthday boy yet?

Sind Sparrow. गौरैया।

"Whaddaya say buddy. Do we go in?"

We were lucky to come across a hoard of birds and animals, clustered around the foliage under a tree. I suppose an animal had died there, and they were all having a morning feast. We saw what we thought was a dog, but @upcycling.artist identified to be a jackal. What luck!

The Greater Coucal.

Rufous Treepie.

Can you identify the trickery involved in this photograph.

Black Drongo. Contemplative.

"Sharing is caring". "No, you're the wrong species, dimwit. Birds of a feather flock together. Look at yours and look at mine."

Actually the Robin did not reply to the Sunbird. If it opened its mouth, the insect would be gone.

The Purple Sunbird, female. I've always only photographed the male before, with its striking colours.

And the cuckoo flies away

Would you mind if I posted another couple of pics of the Jacobin Cuckoo. This is the first time I've seen this bird and it is indeed spectacular.

The Jacobin Cuckoo. In India it is considered to be the harbinger of rain. Indeed it had rained in Gurgaon the night before I captured this pic.

तोता। Rose-ringed Parakeet. Just look at the details on the feathers.

Black Kite. चील। This one was really close - so close that I had trouble taking a picture.

It was scavenging from a garbage bin - which is sad.

@rasshmiguptaa this fellow showed up on a glass pane, but this time we were both on the same side.

Same spidey. A minute later it had caught and cocooned a catch.

Spidey. On a very large web.

गेंदा फूल

क्या West मिदनापुर में वाकई ऐसी मछलियाँ होती हैं?

बारीक काम

दुनिया में बड़ी खूबसूरत चीज़ें हैं। ज़रा घर से तो निकलिये। Wooden. Only ₹300 a piece. Made right here in Dilli.

और मीठे में शकरकंदी 🍠

मगर हमारे लिए तो वड़ा पाव ही ठीक है

बड़े के कबाब

रंगों की बाहर @upcycling.artist Meenakshi's beautiful workshop

Two years ago. Doing what I do best.

#hammock #sleep

This is why we cannot have nice things.

Not sure if interesting or random.

पहचाना?

कभी कभी अपने शहर में भी tourist बनना चाहिए

Same pic, rotated. Let's see which one people like more.

These two monkeys are super stressing me out.

Filters always mess with clouds. Hence, #nofilter

When the AQI is green, even Delhi skies paint beautiful paintings.

आपने हमेशा उग्रसेन की बाओली को चित्रों में बगैर लोगों के देखा होगा। But solitude is not to be found here on a Sunday evening.

#Monster पुतला gonna #haunt you tonight.

हाथ पैर देख लो ज़रा भाई के

"Elephants and acrobats, lions snakes monkey"

Turtle and pangolin figurines from the #Harappan age. A beautiful collection of ancient figurines, so abstract and artistic, at the #NationalMuseum

#Delhi

M1 broke the museum. Then they all got together and fixed more than he broke.

A plant 🌿 shoots out from the base of a Bhudevi statue. How appropriate. Its literally breaking out of the rock.

M2: What is this?

Me: Mann ki baat

#AshokanInscription #IMeMyself #Delhi

The kids weren't with me when I came across this switch. I wonder how tempted they'd have been to toggle it 😁

Even though the #children can't venture into the #sea, they are still #excited to see it after a long #road trip.

The sea at #Kashid is pretty rough. No chance of venturing even near the sea.

We lost our way on the road to #Tabo. Looks like it wasn't such a bad thing 😀

It's the #journey not the destination!

Spot billed duck spotted

Peepal tree, with what looks like a different plant growing on it. Silk cotton seeds strewn all over the place.

A religious place that gives you peace - so rare

Someone imagined all this beauty, then had it built. ❤️

Portals to other dimensions. The cavernous walkway on the bottom left is so typical of Indian houses; and yet so uninviting.

I don't even know what these are called - murals and carvings on the inside corners of domes in a mosque.

@upcycling.artist this reminds me of your work.

चाय। अदरक वाली। पत्ती पका के कड़क।

घरौंदा

Surrounded by the fruits of our labour

Super hero meets robot nemesis. Both end up laughing and becoming good friends.
