10 October 2026, a Delhi Metro platform with almost nobody on it.
On 10 October the Delhi Metro closed the entry and exit gates at 45 stations for a protest. I was going from Delhi to Gurugram, and it was the first time I had seen a Delhi metro station this empty.

A chai break in Bari, and a very still langur.
We were having chai when a friend spotted a langur some distance away. It never moved. So I zoomed in with my phone, and it was a kind of scarecrow.

26 January 2026, the river near Omkareshwar.
On the way to Omkareshwar we stopped at the Narmada at Barwaha, about 11 km from it, and I went into the water. The river was wide, flat and calm, and I filmed myself standing in it.

26 January 2026, Republic Day, on the road to Omkareshwar.
We came on a long weekend and there was so much crowd, in Ujjain and again at Omkareshwar. The crowd at Omkareshwar was so heavy that all of us had to sit inside one single auto.

25 January 2026, the Siddhavat banyan on the Shipra at night.
At about 7:30 in the evening we reached the Siddhavat, the banyan that Mata Parvati is believed to have planted for Bar Amavasya pooja. After dark the trees are lit green, and the whole ghat was full of marigolds.
