Adesh my (hopefully) patient readers!
I know it has been quite awhile since I posted anything. I really apologize. I have no internet access at home and have very little time at the office to cram in a post.
I haven’t really had much of a chance to go out on outings lately, so I do not have a much of backlog of events except for a trip to Dakineshwar (which I am including on this post) and pandals from Durga Puja, and there are quite a few of those photos! Our internet access at work is extremely slooooooooooooow and unreliable so trying to upload those is prohibitive at this time.
Also, my digital camera has ceased to work so even though I have had some interesting and beautiful adventures, I do not have any record of them! Of course, that makes the experiences more magical because the camera puts a division between the object and the subject.
But anyway, it is now the New Year and 2009 is going to be one hell of a year on so many levels.
To 2009!! Bye bye 08!!!!
I got a big kick out of "Emu Stop" lol.
From train stop, Dakineshwar is slightly to the left. Straight ahead is the bridge, one of 4 that cross the Houghly.
The coolest train station ever
Goraknath Temple off of VIP Road
Shiva Temple at the Goraknath Temple complex
Here's a view over the fence. Most Indians can't see this at the top of the wall was about my chin level...
Lokenath Temple, also near VIP Road, Kolkata
Breakfast not served.....
Yes, I stand out like this in every crowd!! You can spot me for a mile, even at a train station!!!!
