Yoga Institute: A fabulous door and beautiful pods


Rambo Circus 2023

When we stop mistreating wild animals for circus acts, human creativity takes centre-stage. I watched a circus in India after decades and came back mesmerized. The Rambo Circus took me to St Andrew's Auditorium where I had danced in 2001 as part of the Summer Funk production by Shiamak Davar Institute of Performing Arts (SDIPA).

Jami Masjid at Khambhat

Built in 1357, the Jami Masjid in Khambhat is one of the oldest mosques in Gujarat and pre-dates the Jami Masjid at the Champaner-Pavagadh UNESCO Heritage Site by almost a century. Unfortunately, it sees very few visitors, like most of Khambhat, and is in a ruinous state.

Black Beach at Dhuvaran, Gulf of Khambhat

The black #beach at #Dhuvaran is all clay. It's one of those very few places in India, where you can walk a beach without meeting a soul. That's if you don't slip. The Arabia sea laps up the shore in the Gulf of #Khambhat. #Cambay or Khambhat was the oldest port in the Indian subcontinent, the main port of the #Harappan Civilization, and has a continuous history of 8000 years. It also has had a 8000-year continuous trade of #agate and precious stones. the Gulf is silting up and the marshes are now full of lapwings, herons, egrets and sandpipers. #beachesofgujarat #gujarattravels #historybuff #birder

Vadhwana Surprises Again

Vadhwana surprises me every time. This time, we drove under a canal and then found a full reservoir with less than eight cormorants swimming there. It's birding season and there were only eight birds instead of the thousands you normally see. There were more birds on the green side than the blue. And these tangled palms, I had never seen before ❤️ #vadhwana #ramsarsite #birder #birds #ornothology
