Shimla photos
The building, centre left foreground, is Kartar Cottage. Aniket spent much of his remembered childhood there. Thanks to a very basic camera, the colours have come out a little strange and the foreground seems very dark and cold... but somehow it seems to merge well with the sepia tinted memories I have of this house (Aniket). The background is a sunny Lakkar Bazar and Auckland School. [24 December 2005]
Aniket's parents with Sara at Scandal Point (officially Lala Lajpat Rai Chowk!). You can see him standing behind them with his finger raised perenially to the sky... The famous church on the ridge can be seen to the left of this statue as well as a part of the municipal building [1850s vintage].
Manjari and Sara with the snow mountains in the background, standing above the ridge. [25 December 2005].
View of Mall Road on a sunny afternoon. The building of the Shimla municipality [1850s vintage] can be seen on the right while the shops of Mall Road are clustered on the left. A few women in the foreground are in typical pahari dress.
