The ugly side of celebrations, when a poor chicken loses its head to feed us.

This corridor surrounds the gardens in the campus of St Patricks College, Maynooth, Ireland. Most of the time, this place is filled with tourists and students, but on this occasion, I was lucky to find it empty, devoid of all all life. The echo of footsteps as you walk around makes a loud and hollow sound, and the paintings of the previous deans on the walls stare down as if questioning who dares to break their silence.

While on our way to Daramdin, West Sikkim we encountered a huge landslide. One road which was in a sorry state, with traffic piled on both sides waiting patiently to cross over. And with the little cars getting stuck, it really didn't help anyone much. Except for the "good Samaritans" who'd stationed themselves expertly at this juncture, waiting for a car to render itself helpless. And then they would offer their help in exchange for a hundred rupees. "It is Dasai", was what the Samaritans said. And the helpless ones stuck there didn't seem to have a choice but to agree.

An Octogenarian (70+) couple (Bristish) take a walk around the mall road...Seeing them one would realise that there is no age bar for love !! love needs no age... its just the emotion that matters!!

Manipur is a place where Lord Krishna is held in very high esteem. He's the one Hindu diety who has a place in all Manipuris' hearts. It was, therefore, no wonder that Imphal had its very own ISKCON (International Society for Krishna CONsciousness) 'mandir'. But when we got to know that there had been a bomb attack at this very temple, that came as a major shock.Here, the sun begins to set on the ISKCON temple, Imphal.

A priest on the stairs of the ISKCON temple. From where I sat, it looked like he was deep in prayer. I could see his lips move constantly as though he was reciting verses of the "Geeta". I wished I had such utter devotion. But then, I wish I didn't. I don't know why.Where: ISKCON Temple, Imphal, Manipur, INDIA!
