FMTSO - Vacations

This week's prompt at Friday My Town Shoot Out is Vacation Spots

Where do you love to vacation?

Do you go on vacation to rest and relax?

Or do you keep busy with activities?

My favourite place to vacation is my hometown of Mumbai, India.

Visiting Mumbai is always relaxing and great fun to meet up with my relatives and friends. And it's always busy, busy, busy catching up with them.

Here are some of my favourite Mumbai pictures

Taj Mahal Hotel and the Gateway of India. 

Sunset from Joggers Park. The sunsets in Mumbai are spectacular.

Relaxing at the Otters Club and looking at the palm trees is so therapeutic. I love the palm trees. They are so elegant. 

Rajabai Tower 

It's always fun to eat out in Mumbai. Some of my favourite places to eat are at:

The Copper Chimney - I love the rumali roti and kebabs 

Jewel of India - great ambience and wonderful cuisine.

I love the palm trees that line the road

Thursday Challenge - Shoes

The Thursday Challenge this week is "Shoes" (Boots, Sandals, Dress Shoes, Wooden Shoes, Stiletto Heels, Horse Shoe .....)

So here is my contribution. This is a picture of the Shoe or Boot House at the Kamala Nehru Park in Mumbai, India.  Probably based on the nursery rhyme "There was an old woman who lived in a shoe".
Great fun to climb in and out of it (as kids of course!).

NaBloPoMo 06 - PhotoHunt - Light

This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Light"

So here are my "Light" pics

Lights at the Bronx Zoo New York
It was a very cold day and we didn't get to see many animals but the lights were amazing. It was well worth a visit to the zoo just to see the lights.

Disney Lights, Los Angeles.
We were at Disneyland just a week before Christmas and the lights were awesome. And even though it bucketed down that day (oh yes it rains at Disney too), the lights were so beautiful, they just lifted our spirits.

City Lights, Mumbai, India.
This was taken from my uncle's place. Fabulous views from his apartment. We watched the fireworks at New Year's Eve unfortunately didn't take those pics. I think some moments you have to enjoy without a camera.

Indian Miniature Paintings

I love the Indian miniature paintings particularly the Mughal and Rajput styles.

Here are some of the paintings I have. (Of course these are imitations). I had to take these from different angles to prevent reflections from windows.

Indian Paintings from Wikipedia   Symbolism of Elephants in Indian culture

Mughal painting is a particular style of Indian painting, generally confined to illustrations on the book and done in miniatures, and which emerged, developed and took shape during the period of the Mughal Empire (16th -19th centuries).

Mughal paintings were a unique blend of Indian, Persian and Islamic styles. Because the Mughal kings wanted visual records of their deeds as hunters and conquerors, their artists accompanied them on military expeditions or missions of state, or recorded their prowess as animal slayers, or depicted them in the great dynastic ceremonies of marriages.


Rajput painting, a style of Indian painting, evolved and flourished, during the 18th century, in the royal cours of Rajputana, India. Rajput paintings depict a number of themes, events of epics like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, Krishna's life, beautiful landscapes, and humans.
