"Every time I click Queen Victoria Memorial Hall....it looks different". its a *HERITAGE* site....in the heart ❤️ of "CITY OF JOY" •Kolkata• The •Victoria Memorial•is an Architectural wonder Heritage in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), West Bengal(India),which was built between 1906 and 1921. This is a shot taken at night with my iphone7plus from "Race course" side.On that evening,while returning from shopping my driver told me that I may get a closest look of "Victoria Memorial" and it was true. it's a click of Victoria from Maidan side and that night as if it was glowing and I will say Victoria looks different every night. This shot I clicked on another occasion during my visit to Kolkata in 2015 and I was lucky I could manage some moments to spend at Victoria and it's really a beautiful view ... read more

ARE YOU NOT SHOCKED ? "The woman was taken to a room and asked to lift her dress in front of her 4-year-old daughter.She alleged it to be an incident of racial profiling". This sort of news once in a while compels me to think in what way the Europeans/Western people are better in #respecting #women !!! To be honest my own perception of people from the West were better but I am compelled to say such perverts are always there in every society that me Western or Oriental. Can't we respect "Women" ? Do we need another ? years to mend our "mindset"to look at any "woman" the way we look ? at our own "mother" "sister" "spouse" "daughter" or any other "blood relation" ?? It's enough and let's change our mindset. Let's be #respectful ... read more

•LILUAH GOSALA (Diary)• It's the one and only Gosala(Diary) perhaps in all India ?? With more than a thousand Desi(indegenious)cows from different parts of India . One of my clients proposed me about getting cow milk from Liluah Gosala and I got a chance to visit this unique Liluah Gosala (Dairy).Situated in Liluah , Howrah a place near GT road and it's about 7 km from Howrah station in WB. Really it's a different environment where about 1000 indeginous cows along with calves , heifers and bulls live in a well arranged manner spread over 200 acres of land with a very big pond inside surrounded of cow sheds. I was so happy to see heifers were basking under Sun ☀️ and it gives a nice experience to watch them provided you are an animal ... read more

Most of the residents are pure Vegetarians in their Food ? habit and they live with a Dignity . I am sure the things that I will share with you not only shock you but it will compel you to change your attitude towards being considerate to our Flora and fauna around Us . "Flora" denotes all the "Greenary"around us and "Fauna" denotes all the "Living"organisms around us. To be honest you will be really surprised to know that (I don't mean All )but ... read more

It takes a life time to undrstand a Woman.. "Love ❤️ is beyond any physical relationship" May be she is your Sweet heart ❤️ /Girl friend/Best friend/Honey/Wife.... To be honest the" words are worth of the meaning ". Sometimes I think ..... why it takes a life time to understand a Single Woman even.... Yes I got a chance to read a nice research article in TOI today 5th March ,itself being the International Women's Day. According to the Research ,there was an earlier myth that Women used to say these three words•I ❤️ Love You•first but it is well proved now that Men have surpassed them. Researchers say that a Woman , being the one who gets pregnant ?, thinks harder about choosing a Mate , considering the Welfare of future children ?. I have ... read more

"May be after doing photography for years together this was my first experience with such a close encounter with Indian Red Vented Bulbul's Life cycle " This was the beautiful Bulbul duo whom I met as a matter of chance during my last visit to my Home ? town Balasore in Odisha. But the real tragedy of neo-urbanisation is lack of natural plants ? and trees ? that were there in earlier days even in cities are there no more and the lack of These has ultimately compelled the tiny birds ? who live around us to build nests even on door ? grills... Really strange na ? But it's ?% true and I was really surprised ? to find such a "nest" built by the Bulbul duo on the grill gate of my neighbour' house ... read more

I wouldn't say that I didn't enjoy Nepal, but my luck was rotten there and the country, lets say... tested me. Though not looking as outwardly poor as India - and prices here tend to reflect that too - the infrastructure here is poorer, what with so much challenging terrain and weather to contend with. Almost everything in Nepal from houses to roads - which are the worst I have seen anywhere - seem poorly constructed. Thus I was glad to be leaving but I still had the small matter of getting back to Kathmandu first. My last night in Phaplu was f*cking freezing. I had brought enough cold weather clothing into the mountains with me but it was on the jeep ride out of there that I found myself wearing it all. The windows had ... read more

"Sorry sir, I can't let you board the plane without an onward journey." "But I was able to do so when I first arrived in India three months ago?" "They've changed the rules." "What in three months?" The check-in lady shrugs her shoulders. I was livid. This wasn't a requirement when I boarded my plane from London to Delhi back in November. This is the problem when rules are not universally enforced. You get Colombia to Panama: Round 2. So I used the same trick I used back then; using the airport wifi and my phone, I get to the final page of booking a bus ticket from Varanasi to Kathmandu without actually buying the ticket and just showed that to another one of the check-in lady's colleagues. And they fell for it again. Phew. On ... read more
