| you want warmth, you go
fetch wood. |
Sumere and Laika exchange
notes on one of our walks. |
Snowflakes soft-focus the
landscape. |
Clouds settling down into
the valley |
Lai and Krish strike a
pose. |

Devprayag. The confluence
of the Alaknanda and the Bhagirathi, where the river
starts being called the Ganga. Look at the colour
difference in the two rivers. |

|
| We usually stop for a
day's rafting on the way back from Auli, on the Ganga,
above Rishikesh. That's Krishna and Laila about to hit
the river. |
A traditonal part of that
day on the river, after spending the morning trying to
not fall into the river, is to line up and jump off rocks
into the freezing water. go figure. That's Krishna... |
...and Meeta, who took a
looong time to decide whether she wanted to do this, then
closed her eyes and ran. |
i didn't jump. Shoulder
was busted. Honestly. |
there should be a few
pages of Auli pix still here. The "page 1" link
won't work. Rediff seems to have eaten up that account.
