Cock-Fight, Ranchi

The birds fight each other, often till death, as the surrounding crowds cheer and exchange money with each winning stroke.
     It is said that the cocks that fight and win, bring wealth, happiness and prosperity for their masters. For this, they feed them with the paddy before sending them to the battleground.

INDIAN WEDDING

RACHNA & SUMEET
WEDDING @SURAT

एक-एक कर ...मेरे आस-पास...मेरे करीब़ी...मेरे अपने...जिंदगी के नये आयाम...नये माईने तलाश़ रहे हैं..और मैं ...उन लम्हों को कैद करने की एक बेवजह कोशिश कर रहा हूँ...जो शायद उतने भी बेवज़ह नहीं हैं...अरशे से चली आ रही दास्तां जब किसी रिश्ते में तब्दील होने लगती हैं...तो ज्यादा कुछ नया नहीं होता...नये होते हैं कुछ रिवाज़...नये होते हैं...चेहरे पर खिंचती कुछ लकीरें...हाथों की असली रेखायें ..छुप जाती हैं कहीं...मेंहदी की आगोश में...ज़ह्न में जुगनू सरीख़े कुछ वादे...कुछ लम्हे...जिनमें उलझी पड़ी हैं कितने ही अफ़साने...फिर मैं बेपरवाह...उन्हें पिरोने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ...

The Bicycle Story

Bicycle is the noblest human invention. At the very young age...we too had a passion for it...keeping the paddle turning … forgetting about everything except right now. 

       The far north-west of India with its tapestry of ancient Himalayan kingdoms is the setting for our first unique exploration of our childhood passion at the high roads of Himachal.

Route –SHIMLA-CHINDI-NARKANDA-SHIMLA

Time -3 days

Riders-Myself,Vikrant and Vivek

DAY 1

Early morning of 29th September our journey begins 

Near Sunni we discovered a new place for river rafting as well as our fastest speed

Chindi, we took sound sleep at a govt resort

DAY-2

Breakfast at Sanarli and planning for the next target 

Villages…Valley…Houses…Courtyards...Apple orchards...everything is so beautiful in Himachal.
