Sunshine on the streets of Chinatown | Photography by ©Darthmauldds

I don't want much, I just want everything,

Thought that I could, do almost anything,

One step in front of the other,

Thought that I could do it alone

In the blink of an eye, it's just another day,

Telling me why, I'll find another way,

Got this feeling, got me reeling

I can almost start believing.

Now there's me & you,

And we are not alone,

You & me,

We are together now,

Through my window, I can see there's

More than you and more than me,

Me and you

And we are not alone,

Different view

We are together now,

Through my window, I can see,

Our wildest dreams could be so real.

I see a spark, it starts a fire

Is this the one worth waiting for?

Thought that I could do it without you,

Can't exist like this anymore.

Now there's me & you,

And we are not alone,

You & me,

We are together now,

Through my window, I can see there's

More than you and more than me.

Now there's me and you, you & me,

We are not alone and we are together,

Through my window I can see

Our wildest dreams could be so real.

Perched on a vast hilltop in Chittorgarh, the majestic Chittorgarh Fort stands as one of India’s most powerful symbols of valor and sacrifice. Spread across nearly 700 acres, it served as the historic capital of the Sisodia Rajputs of Mewar and has witnessed some of the fiercest battles in Indian history. Believed to have origins in the 7th century, the fort evolved over time into a formidable stronghold, protected by massive stone walls, seven grand gateways, and an intricate system of water reservoirs that sustained life during long sieges.

Inside the fort lies a rich tapestry of history, architecture, and legend. The towering Vijay Stambh rises as a tribute to victory and pride, while the elegant Padmini Palace echoes stories of honor and intrigue. The fort is also closely associated with Rani Padmini and the heroic tales of jauhar, as well as the spiritual legacy of Meera Bai. Walking through its expansive grounds, one feels a deep connection to its past, where every stone carries echoes of courage, devotion, and an unyielding spirit that continues to define its identity.

I really love the tranquil moments spent the other day in Stanley Park around blue hour... Thanks to Seth's suggestion, I decide to post one B&W version of the mirror reflected at the same visit. If you are interested, please check out my previous post of the colour version which is shot three minutes later... :-)
