Best night bird in town. 

[throttlebottomblues]

The scheme of things and a human for measure. 

[throttlebottomblues]

Endlessly catching up on tragedy and feeling grateful for the mountains. 

[throttlebottomblues]

Fried chicken and smokes to accompany the late night drunken uphill haul.  

[throttlebottomblues]

The house we stayed in, the family we stayed with. Hooked on to the charm of brief friendships.

Somewhere on the way to Rakker in Upper Dharamkot we stumbled on a row of shiny golden mushrooms of different shapes. Suspicious of the magic that they might be withholding, we brought them down to the village to ask more about them. Our suspicions came true. Ah, the joy.

The fruit that’s keeping me sane this summer. An ode to the watermelon. Monday market at Vasant Kunj.

Khirki Village, Delhi at midnight. Not for the faint-hearted, no.

Hanging on to this sunset till I see a better one. Such sunsets invoke corny sentiments.

Leaders, politicians and other creatures behind glass. Photography studio that clearly did very well in the yesteryears.

For the love of clocks. Mall Road, Shimla.

[throttlebottomblues]

Mildest, softest, sweetest smelling sun of the mountains and colonial architecture hosting government undertakings. 

[throttlebottomblues]

No dearth of advocates and wonderful street food vendors in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.

Why we must all run away and hide in the hills. An afternoon of marveling and staring at Shimla.
