A cloudy morning would have made for an anxious Deepavali day in childhood, but in this draught its a delightful sight!

Yup…in Lubbock, the lamp posts are pre-tensioned to counter twisters
A chirpy visitor after a day of rain…to complete the nostalgia of mansoon and home.

Hampi, the capital of Vijayanagar Empire(1336 A.D–1646 A.D) , was a vibrant center of trade where Arabian horses were bought for diamonds from Golkonda mines – the largest producer of diamonds in those times. Perhaps it was also known for its brothels, as these images on the main Gopura Itower) of Virupaksha Temple proclaim.
Indian temples were more than places of worship, they were also archives recording the prevailing social conditions.

Not ages…but through epochs!
As myths cede to history
And life blooms into spirit
Humans into legends
And kingdoms to ruins
In plundered shrines
And empty brothels
In a vast desolation
Beauty and enigma live
In happy union
For, this is the …Kishkinda of yore!

“Pizza ready”
Imagine my delight to see it packed in the most beautiful pizza box!
Thats how it is…you run into art in unexpected places. And, your day is made
