Jodhpur snapshots

Omelette Man

k0k s3n w4, a Malysian student in India, travels through Jodhpur and captures the city through his eyes.

This guy, Gawlani, owned a stall (which served rice, lentils and occasionally, omelette) and when the famous Lonely Planet guidebook accidentally renamed his business “The Omelette Shop” in its listing. And Boom. Suddenly, hundreds of backpackers flock to his stall daily demanding only greasy, egg-based snack food. So he scrapped his old menu and now, serves about a thousand eggs every single day. The heart-clogging omelettes are okay, but the irony that tourist guidebooks not only recommends popular places to eat - but also creates them - is really why you want to visit this little establishment for.

Statue Spotting

Gopal takes his camera down to Magadi Road and brings back an eyeful of the statues in the temple.

Mumbai from the clouds

Nita takes pictures of Mumbai from the air.  What I like about them is that she explains what each place is. Very helpful for someone like me who is hopeless at correlating maps with the view while I am landing (Google  Satellite images notwithstanding).  Which road could that be, again?

This one was taken as we approached Vashi. You can see Vashi bridge on the right of the picture and I have drawn a red arrow to point out Vashi station.

The Year So Far

Parmanu looks back at the past four months of 2008 in terms of personal journeys peppered with wonderful photographs that narrate a tale no words ever could have, complete with Bollywood, Saturday breakfasts, and snowy Easters.

Monasteries at Bylakuppe

Akshay visits Bylakuppe, the biggest Tibetan settlement outside Tibet.

The facade of Bylakuppe, brought three monumental chortens into view: symbols of the Nyingma Buddhist faith displaced from the trans-Himalayan highlands and planted here, among coconut groves and betelnut plantations. The settlement first took shape in 1959 when many tibetan refugees were given the opportunity to re-shape their lives and preserve their culture. This sleepy little town is deceptive for it is a home to twenty thousand tibetan and to eleven monasteries, making it undoubtedly the capital of Tibetan culture in exile.
