My day out at children's park, New Delhi

This was a total random trip, I had gone to meet a couple of friends in north campus and on my way back I visited children's park, which is near India gate. I spent time with some really adorable kids, I enjoyed my self a lot!
Take a look at some of the pictures:





Children's Park at New Delhi.






Kids playing on a slide. I somehow really like this picture, it reminds me of my own school picnics.












These kids thought I was some sort of big photographer, they thought I would make them famous. If you notice they kept coming closer and closer to the camera just to make sure I don't miss them out :)




Do I see four legs?



Example of Perfect Competition? I can count at least 15 ice cream stalls in this picture!




Kids relaxing after a hard day's work!



One of the cute guys I met in the park.



And one of the shy guys I met!

I really like taking shots of the sky!




A very strange tree in the park.




Look at what we have here.

The mighty structure- built for the mighty soldiers!

A trip to Mussoorie!

The pictures in this post are of a place called Mussoorie, which is a hill station in the State of Utrakhand, India. Mussoorie, with its green hills and varied flora & fauna, is a fascinating tourist spot. This hill station, situated in the foothills of the Himalaya ranges, is also known as the Queen of the Hills.
The history of Mussoorie dates back to 1825 when Captain Young, an adventurous British military officer, together with a Mr. Shore, the resident Superintendent of Revenues at Dehradun explored the present site and jointly constructed a shooting lodge. This laid the foundation of this holiday resort which now has few rivals.
The name Mussoorie is often attributed to a derivation of 'mansoor', a shrub which is indigenous to the area. The town is in fact often referred to as 'Mansoori' by locals.
Have a look at the pictures below:

Kind of Heavenly?


My personal favorite of the trip. Look closely it has two rainbows!


The beautiful sky in the evening.



Ever busy Mall Road!







Walking around Mussoorie one often gets to meet some cute local residents.



Carving my way through the mountains.




Its raining there most of the time!

This chap has been freed from the horse riding trade because of his bad health.

These beautiful things are result of the lovely climate that Mussoorie has.

Visit to the queen's land-May 2005

The pictures that you see below were taken by me in May 2005 of London. This was the first time that I actually used my digital camera. I took tons of pictures during the trip, but unfortunately didn't have anything to save them on and hence lost a lot of pictures. The ones that you see below are my favourites. It was a great trip!


This is probably not the best picture of Big Ben, it certainly is a very different picture. I kind of like the angle of it.



I love this picture! I took it from on top of St. Paul Cathedral. Doesn't it look like a painting?





Rainy day outside the queens house!



A patient wait for lunch!



Yet another lovely view from St. Paul's.
