Back to Delhi with some memorable shots

It was one of a backbreaking trip of mine. Covered half of India, let’s say till Kanyakumari by train. Apart from Modern Europe, vigorously indulged in my favourite pastime, PHOTOGRAPHY. Took some stunning pictures from train, of train, waters, trees, etc as I travelled till Trivandrum. It was Onam, one of Kerala’s biggest festival, and [...]

Modern Europe to Trivandrum

The administrative reforms of Napolean Bonaparte, the different phases of unification of Italy, the results of Russian Revolution in 1917, the cold war, crimean war, league of nations, 1 world war, Benito Mussolini, UNO and its organs, and what not…my mind is still meandering around the history of Modern Europe since 1789…I just completed my [...]

The Hiroshima bombing left 80,000 to 140,000 people killed and 100,000 were seriously injured. The Nagasaki bombing killed 74,000 people and left 75,000 seriously injured. The [...]
