The loopy side of life!!

Life is not a straight line, nor is it always a smooth road. You got to deal with the ups n down, the crazy loops but at the end of it all, there will be light, salvation, nirvana :)

 

I seem to be getting a bit philosophical. Anyway, this is a shot of the spiraling stairway at the Mehrangarh fort of Jodhpur. I'm not 100% happy with the frame but this is the only one I got of this place :(

 

Have a happy weekend everyone!
