Glimpses from my maternal & paternal homes-part 1

This the inside of the shiva temple, which i used to visit for the sake of walking. Later I found, it meant much more to me!

  1. Wow... I love all the pics. Did you say those were taken from a camera phone? That's great resolution... most of the ones (pictures from camera phones) I've seen are small and blurry. :P

  7. Thanks for the comments... That is crazy what some people do for money... I know my friend back in NY, where we used to live, she tells me the landlord there now charges you even for simple wear and tear expenditures, things that are supposed to be covered by the rent anyway... and on top of that he's charging $1500 for those apartments now (we were only paying $600 & change, and they weren't even worth THAT much :/ )... It's crazy.

  14. Is it in Kerala? I remember visiting a temple there. The two look strikingly similar! Even the pond, the one I visited had the similar one. To ease out my curiosity, could you tell me it’s location.

  24. Heyyyyy..... those pics are damn good... esp the first and second one holds a lot for me too. How did you manage to take a pic inside the temple? did they allow it? or no one was there during teh eveing time?

    And as for the pond... i remember being chased by a street dog around that pond when I was 7 yrs old... damn... I started hating street dogs after that.
