Beautiful Mulshi dam near Pune in the state of Maharashtra,India.We had stopped to have tea in a roadside eatery and discovered this beautiful location.Thankfully there were very few customers.The sun had just set and the atmosphere of peace and tranquilty was somehow accentuated by the soothing tinkle of the cowbells.We sat here for a long time enjoying our tea and the magical mood.

Somewhere near Pune.

Have a wonderful weekend dear friends.

This is the view just before the final climb to Torna.......thats Chetan (Shaitan) coming up the trail.....behind him the route can be seen.

Sanjay helps out with sowing paddy seeds somewhere on the road from Goa to the city of Kolhapur in the state of Maharashtra, India.We had stopped so that I could take a few shots and he decided to try his hand at it.:-).He received many directions and a lot of encouragement and a great time was had by all.:-)In fact these friendly people were even good enough to send me photos (on WhatsApp) when the seeds sprouted and these fields became carpets of green.It was such a pleasant surprize.:-)

Somewhere near Mahabaleshwar in the state of Maharashtra, India

This place is midway from Torna. The man in white was our host. His name is Mr.Dhebe. He earns his livelihood by selling curd and limejuice on Rajgad. He made us very tasty dinner it was such a treat. He proved to us that to be happy one does not need the modern luxuries; if one is content he can be happy :).

We slept on that sheet in the night; it was a wonderful feeling to sleep under an open sky.

A lady walks through paddy fields probably on a shopping expedition somewhere in the interiors of the state of Maharashtra, India.

The light was very poor, she was quite some distance away and the shot was a quick one through our car window but I thought my friends would like this glimpse of life in rural India.

I will be busy with a family wedding for a few days. See you all next week dear friends. Take care.:-)
