As the sun was setting over the beautiful hills of Hampi, this monkey along with its troop of fellow monkeys sat and waited for tourists to throw them a snack.
This picture was taken on one of the highest points near the main complex of Hampi.
Ps: The title is inspired by mythological story… any guesses to which one?
There is a certain kind of incomparable magic to playing with colors… No wonder it is one of days I look forward to the most in the year.
Ps: To all my rocking friends who made it despite being sick & also those who weren’t sick 
– Love you guys 
This Diwali was made special by two awesome celebrations. One at midnight on the eve of Diwali and the another on the last day.

There are moments in Kites that make you go ‘wow’ and similarly there are moments where you wonder what the writer was smoking, but thats where the balance was struck.
