Endless Journey

I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.

                                                                                                                   - Robert Louis Stevenson 

On my way to Loch Ness, Scotland, the road rested beautifully in front of me defining my path ahead. The Scottish highlands on one side and the Loch waters on the other, a perfect road for the travelers to travel. 

Loch Ness is a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately 37 km (23 mi) southwest of Inverness best known for alleged sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, also known affectionately as "Nessie". 

Cats

Felt lucky to find a family of cats at Kankali Devi Temple during my last visit an year before. Photographing them was easier than I anticipated as they posed for the camera without much trouble. 

Kankali Devi Temple is best to visit during the monsoon season, as well as during the Hindu festival of Navratri and is located approximately 20 kilometers from the city of Bhopal.

Cat Eyes

"Where words are restrained, the eyes often talk a great deal."

                                                                                        - Samuel Richardson

Real beauty is not what the eyes can behold but what the heart can hold. What we see through our eyes will disappear someday, but things that we store in our heart, are there to stay forever. 

Photographed at Kankali Devi Temple, near Bhopal, this cat seems to have the most beautiful and mesmerizing eyes I ever looked into. 

Still sometimes wonder what she was thinking ... :P

To another world

A traveler travels not because he wishes to leave his past behind, but because he wants to embrace the future. A future which is uncertain in all aspects but yet he finds it adventurous. He does not leave what he has, but opens the door to another world. A world, where his dreams turn into reality and where he is free to see, to breathe, to laugh and to live.

Maru Gaon - Desert Village

The exhibit entitled " Neem ki Dhani” features the traditional form of dwelling brought from Neem Ki Dhani, Jaisalmer itself and constructed by the members of the Rajput Community. In Rajasthan main settlements (aabadi) and the Hamlets (Dhanis) are always located close to the agricultural land. Maru Gaon - Desert Village is exhibited at upper Lake, Bhopal and is must visit place for the tourists.  

Sadhu

A Sadhu at Kankali Mata mandir, Raisen road, Bhopal. The temple is situated at approximately 20 kilometres from the city of Bhopal and is one of the oldest temple of Devi Kali Maa and is known as one of the Shaktipeeth among Hindu pilgrims. One special fact related to this temple is that during the Hindu festival of Navratri the head of Maa kali tilts slightly from its original position. Located amidst the serene beauty of the countryside, it offers a peaceful and relaxing environment to the visitors and is a must visit place if you plan a trip to Bhopal.

The Wooden Bench

The wooden bench near River Don in Aberdeen. A relaxing and beautiful spot to spend the evenings at. There are a couple of these benches [you can see the other one in the backdrop]. Carved out from wood, these chairs give an ethnic feel to the visitors. They also blend in beautifully with the surrounding buildings which are built in accordance with the Scottish architecture.
