Munger in March
Some photos from Munger....much potential for a unique tourist destination..but much needs to be done in terms of facilities and roads!!! Still worth an off-the-beaten-track visit!!! Ruins of the old fort The ornate gate to the river bay Leave your bicycle to catch the boat or even just take a dip a walk down to the Ganges river Morning bathing in the river Ganges by Munger..another view Sunshine morning Exit from the fort towards the town the sleepy town of Munger wakes up The clock tower entry of the fort..not really for reading the time!!! The lake at Kharagpur...placid and lonely By the lake..members of my team the only visitors the road besides the lake a scene to remember..the lake at Haveli Kharagpur, Munger a few fishermen The winter wheat harvest is now ready...in Munger
Being Happy
Being happy is a state of the mind..... but what does it take to reach this state? May be a song, may be kind words, may be a nice surprise, or , May be just, keeping on course, running the race, and living your life, with every small moment, made most of! Wish you happiness with this song!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOWDb2TBYDg
a simple poem
I came across this simple poem and liked it immediately. So here it is! Arrow and the Song, The I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Orccha: besides the river Betwa
A small nondescript town with wonderful old monuments and temples...Orrcha ...nearby its more famous sister town of Jhansi...worth a lazy-day long visit:
Jhansi: a poem and a monument
My recent travel to Jhansi took me to a monument with a brush of poetry; and literally at that. How often do you find a poem written at the very entry step of an old monument. Written about the valiant queen Rani Lakhmi Bai of Jhansi, the fort there reminiscences her short lifetime (died at 29 fighting on a horseback) of valor and bravery. Here are pictures of the poem and the fort itself.
