Scary thorny insect

I saw this one on a plant last Sunday morning. Looks quite scary! Look at the way its eating the leaf.

The inside part of the Papaya

Recently my aunt and uncle realized that there was a big Papaya tree in their farm. This Papaya fruit is from the same tree; the taste is really good and its  non-hybrid.

Aloo tikki

My Sister in law was supposed to make a dish out of potato and she thought of Aloo tikki. She is found of garnishing and I am found of taking pictures; so what you see in the above pictures is the result.

Birds on the Cherry tree

The Cherry tree that is seen through the window was a favorite place for the birds and I was lucky to have got a glimpse of different types of birds that came there, while I worked. I could take picture of only one bird properly, rest of them were too far to capture.

Visit to the Jamkhandi Palace and Rameshwar temple

That's me trying to trying to pass through the stone sculpture of a lion. The priest said that after passing through one will be relieved from any type of body pain. After two unsuccessful attempts, I was able to pass through finally.
