While some of us are trying to revive this blog, I’ve decided to move on. For now, at least. Long story short, the NRI posts didn’t happen, and I’ve started a new blog based in Seattle.

I hardly need mention that IDP has been a really special part of my life and I’m proud  that it is now much bigger than just the five of us.  Thank you very much for sticking around, and I know I will be waiting as eagerly as any of you to see more posts on here.

It was hard to pick a farewell photo to post, but I’m posting this one of my college, St. Xaviers, because that’s a place where a lot of things began for me.

And on that note, here’s a link to my new blog. Adios, for now.

Spot Billed Pelicans in Bangalore.

No shortage of talented Indians in California if you know where to look.

The beach temple at Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu.

Some more photos from the same temple posted to India Daily Photo before: Beach temple shot from far and Nandi sculptures in front of the temple.

Ok, the NRI has just sold her camera while in the process of upgrading, and so I dug through the GBs of images for something to post.

I made this photo on the seaface in Pondicheri, after having seen this man a little while earlier sitting under a tree in a Buddha like pose. I remember wondering how he could possibly be sitting so peacefully in the terrific heat of that summery day. He certainly had something calming about him, which I may not have captured in the photo, but I am glad I made it anyway.

A lonely chai vendor is the only source of warmth our train makes an unscheduled halt near Gwalior. With the temp. hovering around 4 deg celsius and extreme fog reducing visibility to less than 10 meters (quick, spot the signal!), what should have been a 36-hour journey turned into a 48-hour endurance test!
