#Rajasthan_calls. Tenure in Bengal comes to an end, as I head out alone on a motorcycle to join my duties in Jaipur, Rajasthan. #জয়পুর_রাজস্থান_মোটরসাইকেল আড়াই বছরের পশ্চিমবঙ্গর পাট চুকলো। এবারের চাকরির ডাক পশ্চিমে, রাজস্থানে, মরুভূমির কাছাকাছি। যদি হিসাব কষতে বসি, এই আড়াই বছরে কি পেলাম, কি হারালাম, তাহলে পাওয়ার ঝুলিটা ভরা। বন্ধু, বান্ধব, ভালবাসা, লেখালেখি, […]

The Karla and Bhaja caves. As one takes the NH4 […]
#Lord_Ayappan_Temple #Taantiya_Dada. Today salubrious evening, sacrificing my sleep time, Me and #Lalan climb the temple of Lord Ayappa. Though I am familiar with the divinity of Lord Ayappa because of my exposure, but this time the visit was indeed influenced by the #Sabrimala issue. Lord Ayappa (in his Manikantha avatara) is the sitting deity of […]
#Bhīmāshankar_Jyotirlingam #Taantiya_Dada. Busy work schedule et al, I rode my local vahan #Lalan (a cherry red Thunderbird 350) to search out the Bhīmāshankar jyotirlingam in the Sahyadri Ranges approximately 100 km from my workplace.
