Looking Back? Or Ahead?

Deepavali #2

Diwali: The festival of light.

Whenever I smell mustard oil I’m reminded of Diwali. These earthen lamps are filled with mustard oil, blessed and then lit in and around homes to keep away the darkness. (Lots of metaphors and symbolism there which I won’t elaborate on or else it’ll make me feel as though I was 12 years old and required to write an essay on   ‘your favorite festival’.)

Birds and Crosses

A Salty Sunset

Rann of Kutchh, Gujrat, India. Yes, that’s salt, not snow.

From The Window Seat

This was captured during a memorable train journey through north-west India. The red building is a temple, and the idol is that of Hanuman, the monkey deity; the devotee of Lord Ram, a scholar and the protector of mankind.
