No Dearth of Colors

No Dearth of Colors.. it’s like the barren nature of the land is compensated for by the colors. This one is an end of the day scene, where the camels get a sip before they head back home or retire for the night in the mela camp itself .

What Next

Thinking over WHAT NEXT — that’s me. But this old man seems to be enjoying the moment — his beedi, over some mid day down time.

Remembering Those Mornings On The Road

Remembering Those Mornings On The Road

This one is from the Winter Ride of 2016.

We started back from Valparai to Bangalore on the last day of our three day ride. Early morning mist, coolness in the air & wonderful scenery all around. You click away trying to capture how you feel in pictures. The feeling though is never matched by pictures.

If memory serves me right, we took about 4 hours to cover the first 60kms of the day (we had to do 600 on the day). It was the best part of the Winter Ride of 2016.

List of Uttarakhand Relief Donations

While most of our media has moved on from covering the disaster at Uttarakhand, the job of rebuilding the devastated areas & the lives of those affected is far from over. The looming winter season only makes the effort required urgent to avoid the calamity becoming worse than what it has already been.

It is not the time to think about the portion of your contribution that might not reach those it is intended for. Instead make a contribution with the faith that every paisa that reaches the ground is absolutely essential in making life a little bit better for those who are living through a hellish situation. Make a contribution because generosity is its own reward.

If you are thinking of make a monetary donation to the Uttarakhand relief work, use the below list of organizations working for the cause. This is neither a recommended list nor an exhaustive one. If you can add to the list, please leave a comment with the details so that some other reader can use the same.
