Hi,

I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don’t you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘Feline Musings’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;

BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run http://www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows..

Cheers,

@Ansy:
That group photo is with me only. I didn’t get around to process the photos (they are all RAW) from Khajuraho & Orchha, have processed just one photo which I’ve posted here. Will process the rest of them soon & put them online.

@Snigs:
If you went to Jhansi & had time for looking around – you definitely should’ve gone to Orchha – its just 15km from Jhansi!

wow. You know I went to Jhansi in Feb and people told me that from Jhansi one can go to Orchha. But we missed going there. After reading your post I feel so bad to have missed that oppurtunity. Sharing this with Vinayak also.

@Amit, thanks for all the additional bits of information, which add to the information that I could recollect and gather. Also was wondering about our group photograph in the rating gear. Please share.

The other way to capture an absolutely breathtaking view of the Cenotaphs on the Kanchana ghats, is from the middle of the Betwa river, but you need to row down the river to reach such a strategic point.

Err… I’d like to differ. I’ve taken those photos(the type you are talking about) from the middle of the river only & I just walked down on the rocks, only my shoes got a little wet!! The rocks on the other end of the bridge run almost to the middle of the river, you just need to walk carefully & jump a bit, its slippery but with right kind of shoes its easy.

That morning when we did rafting, just before we were to start I went to the river, walked down on the rocks & reached in the middle of the river to take photos!

We saw an indigenous fish net made of twigs and branches, caught amazing glimpses of the Jahangir fort

A mistake here, its Jehangir Palace inside Orchha Fort. Orchha Fort has 3 palaces (in order of their size from bigger to smaller) – Jehangir Mahal, Raja Mahal & Sheesh Mahal – Sheesh Mahal has been converted to a heritage hotel by MP Tourism.

@Manish:

I am still missing the pool where I dumped Amit once.

You were lucky dude that I was in a mood for relaxation else I’d have come back & deep sixed you!!

But it was fun, no doubt about that! And we had a good time playing catch in the pool.

@Ashish aka The Empty Head, Yes yes I do remember. Orccha has the power to do this to you – make you concoct the perfect love story, the larger than life historical saga, or a scary ghost tale

A very relaxing place where you have ample time to relax and enjoy. I am still missing the pool where I dumped Amit once. Standing on the bridge when a bus is coming from the opposite direction was realy a breathtaking scene.
