Train in Tunnel


Train in Tunnel, originally uploaded by harishkrishnan.

Thanks to the Britishers for constructing the railway lines. Though they had done it for their own benefit...it still stands helping us a lot now....This too is a very old railway tunnel...comes near a place called Teegaon in Maharashtra.... forest area with small hillocks...a very nice view from the train...

Ghaziabad


Ghaziabad, originally uploaded by harishkrishnan.

The rikshaas on the way to Ghaziabad... an upcoming suburb of India. I travelled some 3 kilometers in this road and found around 5 shopping malls within that stretch... a super highway.. shopping malls... high rise buildings.... and these rikshaw pullers... clearly depicts the contrast that India is....

Fog


Fog, originally uploaded by harishkrishnan.

Foggy morning... less visibility.... these farms came some one hour before i reached Delhi.... not sure of the place... still as the chilly winds pierce the skin inspite of the sweater, these fogs again teach you something... that one never knows what the life holds
for him.... you never know what lies ahead of you... work for today... tomorrow will be taken care off.... Again people's interpretation may differ....

Flowers


Flowers, originally uploaded by harishkrishnan.

Another standard thing for a photo... flowers... i thought why should i miss that. But the flowers were so beautiful that i could stop from clicking it. This was a small plant in a pot placed inside the hotel where i stayed. The good thing was that sun light was able to reach the plant and nature always does its job best, when it is let to do...

Delhi Metro


Delhi Metro, originally uploaded by harishkrishnan.

This is not New York or London.... its our own Delhi..... the delhi metro station... its just cool.... not costly too.. well maintained trains, stations... well lit direction boards... wat else one wants... and you cross Delhi from one end to end in very less time without inhaling all those noxious gases.... introduction of this in other cities will be welcomed very well....

Ambhazhari Lake, Nagpur


Ambhazhari, originally uploaded by harishkrishnan.

A prime attraction in Nagpur. Had not heard of this place before.... This lake has a coast with ambazari (not sure of its spelling...) gardens... check out http://wikimapia.org/120118/ for more. I reached this place at the right time... if i would have been five minutes late... it would have been dark and i would have missed this great lake... The surface of the look so calm and unruffled while it has the power of a big water body. Seems like it tells all people that be how great you are be calm outside..... Nature can teach humans a lot..

Ganges


Ganges, originally uploaded by harishkrishnan.

somebody wrote long back "Hum us Desh ke wasi hain jis Desh mein Ganga Behthi hain (Ram teri Ganga Maili)" which means... we are citizens of that country where Ganga flows.... Ganga has been providing food to many people directly and indirectly for long.... and continues to do so..... lets help Ganga help us by keeping it clean.. This photo was taken from the train across Ganga bridge near Kanpur...

Then my friend volunteered to get the corn. So that time she ran the machine and i clicked......

Thiruvaroor station, originally uploaded by harishkrishnan.

Just bcoz the train came in second platform, i had to climb the stairs to come out and jus happened to take this photo. The half built station adds more beauty to the photo. It would have been still better if the sun had gone down still. But i was to go to another place and was not able to wait for the sun...
