Kaziranga is a vast expanse of tall elephant grass, marshland, and dense tropical moist broadleaf forests, criss-crossed by four major rivers, including the Brahmaputra, and the park includes numerous small bodies of water. Kaziranga has been the theme of several books, songs, and documentaries. The park celebrated its centennial in 2005 after its establishment in 1905 as a reserve forest. (Wikipedia)

One of the trails through the forests of Kaziranga. You never know what youll find around the bend - birds, wetlands or even rhinos and elephants. A most amazing place.

The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, also known as the DHR or the Toy Train, is a 2 ft gauge railway that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling in the Indian state of West Bengal. Built between 1879 and 1881, it is about 88 km long. It climbs from about 100 m above sea level at New Jalpaiguri to about 2,200 m at Darjeeling, using six zig zags and five loops to gain altitude. Six diesel locomotives handle most of the scheduled service, with daily tourist trains from Darjeeling to Ghum – India's highest railway station – and the steam-hauled Red Panda service from Darjeeling to Kurseong.
The line follows Hill Cart Road, which is part of National Highway 110. The track is on the roadside for long stretches, and both track and road might be blocked by a rockslide. Since a length of the road is flanked with buildings, the railway line often resembles urban tramway tracks. To warn pedestrians and drivers of an approaching train, engines are equipped with very loud horns and whistles which train drivers sound almost constantly. (Wikipedia)
We encountered this train as we were coming into Darjeeling. In some cases, it seemed to almost touch the front steps of the homes that it passed. The tracks criss-crossed the road with no signs or lights, so drivers and pedestrians have to watch out and listen to the train.
On 5 December 1999, UNESCO declared the DHR a World Heritage Site.

In India chilli is grown in almost all states, in an area of 774.9 thousand hectare with a production of about 1492.10 thousand tonnes .
The origin of chillies is believed to be as old as 7000 B.C. used in Mexico.
Chillies were grown and cultivated from 3500 B.C. Christopher Columbus who discovered America in 1493 brought chilli to the rest of the world.
I'm very happy being me, although sometimes I'd love to be a bird so that I could fly rising and falling with the still spaces in the air, far above all this sickness and death and evil.
