Cee’s oddball photo challenge is back and so am I 🙂 A couple of months ago I was at the New Delhi Railway station to catch an early morning train. It was a sleepy morning with few passengers on the platform (although all the seats were taken!
And then I saw him.
Fast asleep on his burden! (Doesnt the station look clean?)
I tried a close up wary of going too close for fear of waking him up
The train rushed in with an ear-splitting whistle and a massive mighty gush of clatter. But did he wake up? Nah. He clearly doesn’t let anything weigh him down 🙂
And a bonus photo – not mine though.
Look what my sister sent me from Ireland 😀 Why just 50%? You can have 100 % off on Dahlia’s stories and photos. If only you could be bothered to click here or here.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day.
A bright sunny day to perfectly show off those wispy clouds. That? Oh that’s the 
Not even a picture of mountains is safe from the evil eye of the concrete jungle.
Let’s feast our eyes on some real mountains 🙂
And look what I found – a tree snout! Looks hungry (and cute) doesn’t it?
Would you like to rest for a bit on the couch by the big black and white dog? Don’t worry it won’t bite 😉
Row row row your boat gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily for life is but a dream 😀
By the roadside, a triple bonanza – sandy brown earth, school bus yellow cacti and safety orange flowers 😀
A saffron frame to an ancient lift
A nanny trying to feed a toddler playing on salmon tiles
A sandy brown sculpture from ancient times
A slate grey sculpture of Devi Durga as she destroys Mahishasura
A peacock with an intricately designed silver tail
A silver scarlet monster contraption at the airport
A safety orange light fixer on the roads of Delhi
A shamrock green monster parrot
Much like this opaque foggy or is it smoggy landscape
Then as the mist cleared I found this bouquet of trees – isnt it a lovely arrangement?
Rejuvenated we went to the Kolkata museum and admired the equine sculpture, though I do wonder why it looks so sad. Perhaps it is just exhausted, like I was
After the archeological exhibits I gave up and collapsed on the bench unable to even conceive of conquering the rest of the museum.
While shopping we were lucky to catch a glimpse of the store Queen. Though as you can see she is very camera shy and kept shaking her head. Or was it my hand in such exalted company?
Tired and desperate for a quick cuppa chai we ordered it. Did you know tea comes in this beautiful paper flask? 🙂
Starving, we ordered dinner soon after and it arrived hot spicy and delicious in a square box 😀
Desperate for some quiche we tried calling Hogg’s Room but sadly they didnt deliver from Kolkata to Mumbai 😉
Taking inspiration from these two blissful canines we too decided to call it a day and catch up on our quota of sleep.
This house (okay building – Cee did say we could be creative 😉 has its head in the clouds. It’s in Kolkata and called The 42. Apparently they wanted to build 65 floors but were denied permission (as it would be too close to heaven?) and restricted it to 42. 😀
I snapped this photo in Bengaluru for the reflection – looks really cool doesnt it?
Another house at the Santiniketan complex which I preferred to admire from afar 🙂
The perfect getaway for some catch up time with friends on warm sunny winter mornings 🙂
