photos from our travels, other interesting places and events
I don’t know. I just felt like taking a picture of the chains hanging on the truck bumper. I just took it beautiful and wanted something different picture take on the streets. This was on one of the streets in Mumbai on our way from the Gateway of India.
Frontier trivia the day:
Kanchenjunga, the third tallest mountain in the world lies on India’s border with Nepal.
A girl or a boy? One of the street children asking for alms while we were heading back to the hotel where we were staying. It was a genuine smile, pure joy and that is priceless. It is indeed amazing and equally hurting to see them so happy despite the poverty.
Frontier trivia the day:
tap water is not potable throughout the country of India; huge and growing population is overstraining the natural resources.
Ah there! The lovely massive building called the Taj Hotel in Mumbai. The Taj Hotel blends the Rajput, Renaissance and Gothic architecture. It was constructed in 1903 by the Industrialist Jamshetji Tata to provide Indians with a sophisticated meeting place which was denied them by the British.
Frontier trivia the day:
climate in India varies from tropical monsoon in south to temperate in north (where I froze, shivering :-D)
We went to Davao, my sisters, cousin and my uncle for some business, and we just stopped in the sidewalk to eat my missed fruit – Durian. Let’s eat!
One thing I like about India is the music. Though I don’t understand the lyrics of its local songs, the sound is universal, and I like their style, their rhythm. Hubby used to play the TV for their music every morning to awake him when he is alone, not when I was there, I love sleep, silence please.
Frontier trivia the day:
literacy in India is 79.9%.
Namashtè. Now meet Paul the driver. He was a good driver, and patient too, for a tourist like me. He was ‘educating’ me about what he knew of India and the landmarks that were seeing. I appreciated it. there is nothing better than learning it from the local people. Of course we communicated by English language.
Frontier trivia the day:
the average life expectancy of Indian people is 68.28 years. Males expected at 66.28 and 71.17 years of age for females.

We are back from our Amsterdam trip and upon arriving home, I went straight to the backyard to see my cat, I badly miss my furry kitty lovely Lady Gishi. She usually would run to me in a hurry when I call her but that time she was no where, maybe in the front yard? Nowhere too.Maybe she would show up later. I didnt know that I would never see my companion cat again. If I stayed with her, she would still be here safe and not lonely. Get over with this, but just missing my dearest cat.
