Scenes of Travel by Air

My colleague and myself came to Jaipur last evening after connecting to the Jet Airways flight from New Delhi. The capital city of Rajesthan, Jaipur is known globally as Pink City and is recognized as one of the ten most beautiful cities of India. My Indian friends associate Jaipur as the epitome of a vibrant and colourful living traditions in India, attracting lovers of art, history and architecture.

Glimpses of The Great Prayer Ceremony

The Great Prayer Ceremony (Moenlam Chenmo) has begun at Samtse, Southern Bhutan from 22/10/2012. This is the second time that such a prayer ceremony is being conducted in Samtse since it was initiated in the previous year.

 

His Holiness the Je Khenpo is presiding over the ceremony. The ceremony will conclude on 28/10/2012.

 

The following are some glimpses of the Great Prayer Ceremony.

Pictorial Journey of MTB Group

Our Mountain Trail Biking (MTB) Group celebrated our anniversary in recognition of the completion of one year of dedicated mountain biking the day before yesterday (Saturday, 6th October 2012). It was not a grand celebration.. in fact, it would not be qualified to be called a celebration at all to an outsider, because, all that we did was ride together into the jungles and shared our simple refreshments after cutting a pancake!

Writing About Writings

My original diary book of the college days

A batchmate and a very good friend of mine Drukpa commented in Facebook that my earlier post on “All About Shoes” was dynamic and moved very fast because of the sincerity with which I had narrated the story.

All About Shoes

Few weeks back, I was getting ready to visit the Capital City of Thimphu the next day to attend to one of my appointments at my department headquarters. Since my proposed stay at Thimphu was only for a period of three days, I didn’t think it was necessary to pack so many clothes or shoes in my luggage other than the basic essentials which included an extra gho and a few shirts. I decided that I would go with only one pair of office shoes and that too, worn on my feet! My natural concern wherever I go is to travel light and arrive at my destination with whatever clothes that I pack in a fairly pristine state. In any case, I am frugal when it comes to clothing and I generally tend to stick to a limited wardrobe and has never attached much importance to the necessary element that goes towards making a classy man, ie, clothing.
