Pune-graphy

Pune is a city full of surprises. Long walls, buildings, greay, brown, dull, cracked, and then suddenly a flash of blue. Maybe door, maybe window. Bright sky-blue, peeking put through shades of grey. 

Like.... a fucshia-pink bra strap peeking out from a nun's habit. That's old Pune. A nun with rainbow lingerie. 

College students roam the streets, walking, biking, laughing. I could almost be one of them. Lost. Shorts. Jhola. Camera.
I roam the streets, looking for beauty. Looking...for the unexpected.

Mystique,

Oh! you have taken me back to 1962-65 and 1979-82. I would love to settle down there. Beautiful city with so many place to visit around.

Take care
