The shopper monks


Having given up the world"s pleasures was a given as a monk.
However it seems the lure of designer shoes seems too much for these folks.

I don't blame them, considering how much they walk!

However, I do hear that since the monks get a lot of money as donations, they are literally rolling in money.

Junk jewellery

I knew women loved shopping for junk jewellery but I never realised just HOW much till I spent 3 hours playing shopping assistant at Janpath.

Security warning of the day!

First a flyover was made. Then another was attached to it YEARS later.

Finally, a metro link is being built going over both flyovers.

Why the hll can't they put such engineering skills to use in bombay!

Amer Fort

Fabulous sound and light show. Must watch.
Costs 200 rupees, lasts an hour and will give you a great history lesson.

Funnily enough, they talk about the exact same stuff they created controversies over when Jodha Akbar released.

Makes me think it was all a publicity stunt :)

Ah... The torment

Priyanka endorses Nokia. I don't know why they dont have more ads of her.
Apart from this, I do believe that Nokia has BRILLIANT advertising.

Rules of a ship.

The most hightech audio guide!

At the maritime museum, they hand out these super cool pdas as audio guides.

The port must be very very rich :)

The columbus monument

Dedicated to the famous traveller.

You must recall your history that the king an queen of spain (ferdinand and isabella I think) sponsored columbus's trip to search for india when he accidentally discovered America.

Also, of note, is that the statue was supposed to point to the new world but actually points in the wrong direction :)

Arch de triomphe

Barcelona's sad excuse of the really cool french monument.

Its just a waste of time.

You cannot even go on top!

Lunch!

After major meandering inside casa mila - a house designed by gaudi for the Mila family (its awesome and a must visit!) I'm so hungry I could eat spain's entire annual produce. Especially considering my breakfast consisted of 1 cup of coffe and about 5 pieces of "chips"

Got some helpful local advice on where to eat (walk around ull find something) I finally found this place called Tapa Tapa.

Menu in six languages. Courteous staff and even though I'm drinking coke, I get to sit on the bar side! Yeaa!

Excellent place.

Chairs

Replicas of gaudi's nature inspired chairs. Comfortable as hell.

Really! It feels like there is no wood at all and is made of a soft comfortable material but its not. Its all wood.

Incredible.

The moon at noon?

Have u ever seen the moon at noon?

Can you spot it in this picture amongst the clouds?

Enjoy :)

View from Park Guell

One of the higher points in barca. Awesome view

Sorry about the crappy BB camera

How much tissue can someone use?

Apparently a LOT!

These are the tissues used by my friend for just drinking coffee.

No wonder we are running out of trees!

The most ill designed cup

At Cafe Zurich, major barca landmark.

The cup is so terribly ill designed that the cup handle (for lack of a better word) is too tiny for even my pinky to fit in.

Which means u gotta wait for your coffee to get reasonably cold before u can drink it.

You just can't hold it from the handle!
