Talking to God on first day of New Year (2012) @ Golden Temple, Amritsar, Punjab, India

Here is a boy in conversation with God to discuss the plans to make this year memorable for good things in life. Here is taking holy bath in Sarovar around Golden Temple of Amritsar. 

Golden Temple at Amritsar was over-crowded on 1st Jan 2012, as many folks from Punjab has come to this place for good beginning of the year and pray God for making 2012 a memorable year for good things in life. Amritsar being a very old city of India looks very scary during such special days, when whole Punjab is on street and there is hardly any space around. This was my third visit to  Amritsar and now probably I will  think twice to visit this city again. It's not tourist friendly and extremely inconvenient. But reaching at Golden Temple make you forget everything you see outside it. 

A Very Happy New Year to all of you again !!!

Smiling Gladiolus welcoming you in 2012 !!!

Although it's an old photograph, but thought of sharing as I wanted to start 2012 with something colorful and this photograph added a special fragrance as well. 

So Happy New Year !!!

Festive season in India is still ON !!!

Although Diwali is over now but still November and December remain more colorful in India. Welcome of winters with lots of other small special days. And these days all US festivals/special-days are more important in India as well. Christmas is next big day in next few months...

Party Time !!!

There is something common which happens every year during this time. Every year we party this time, but somehow something was there which compelled me to rethink about partying this time. Still I am not able to understand the reason but, we had party last night. It was not very exciting but of course it always give a chance to enjoy with friends. But again yesterday's party was strange in that sense as well.

Mr. Tarun Gogoi - Chief Minister, Assam @ Rongali Bihu Festival in Delhi

In April month of 2011, Rongali Bihu was celebrated at Indira Gandhi National center of Arts in New Delhi and Assam' Chief Minister was invited as main guest for the evening... Here Mr. Tarun Gogoi addressing all Assamese on the special evening on Rongali Bihu Festival !! Although I missed the later half of the evening, but heard that he enjoyed Bihu dance with various performers on the stage. When I say enjoyed, he actually danced with other performers and this was one of the main story of various Assamese new papers :)
