Hershy > Paradise Beach Pondicherry, India ADDED IN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS: These are stray dogs and not wild as they grow up amongst people. A few of them could be 'ferocious' but most co-exist very peacefully with street people. Majority of the stray dogs in India adapt to their neighbourhood very easily, in most cases thanks to the friendly people in the locality. While there is a system in place to keep a check on strays, often their extended families (read people) jump to the defense of their friendly, harmless four legged pals. more pics: http://Hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/3951305_mw7Dp/1/289184725_zpLUc travel and other info on Pondicherry http://tourism.pondicherry.gov.in/
Hershy > Mehendi hands (Best seen in Large or Original size) Beside geometrical figures & flowers, the design includes an Elephant and two human faces. At times the name of the groom is also written (hidden) which he has to find out later on! This kind of detailed design would take 3-5 hours (hands & legs)! for reference check the earlier two photos: http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/4836391_ACj8A/1/271804178_q2CWc/Medium http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/4836391_ACj8A/1/270314185_g8p5k/Medium for more info on Mehendi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehndi www.javeri.net

Thanks again to Bill (Pador) for recommending this lens! ==== ONE YEAR COMPLETE! ==== Today's picture is special. It not just marks my 365th contribution to the Daily gallery, it reminds me that its been a year here. A year-long experience of understanding and learning about new cultures, places and people; a year-long association with like-minded people and a year-long friendship with so many of you. The encouragement and support I've got from all of you in this duration, is something I cherish and respect. Looking forward to many many more such interactions to come. www.javeri.net

Hershy > Roll it on! (085 - Mar 27) D300 17-55mm f7.1 1/250 OK, I am going to leave it to you to guess what this is! Date: 31 March THE ANSWER!! Thanks to all who attempted a guess at what this is. Many of you thought it was some type of a sweet and that's close but not enough! :-) Alistair gets full marks as he thought: "A big ice cream thing? Looks tasty :p" JSL (Jayshree) was bang on with: "Roller ice cream???? Never see a striped one before though!!!!" but then she's had it before! In fact it was she who introduced me to it a few years back! Here's how it's made. The barrel is stuffed with ice, I know that's a lot of ice! Then fresh sweetened milk is slowly poured over it which gets frozen over the barrel. Most of the time the flavours (varieties) offered are fresh fruit type but also include the regular vanilla & chocolate. Freshly cut fruit is then placed (pushed) against the barrel while it's being rotated. The fruit gets stuck to the frozen milk and that's how you get the stripes. The fruit depends on the season but the common ones are mango, chikoo, strawberry, orange etc. When a person selects the flavour(s), a knife is kept against the barrel while it is rotating and thin slivers of ice cream come off which are collected in a plate. Voila! You have fresh home-made ice cream!! more Mehendi pics: http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7495562_7yorg/1/483832310_py3Di http://www.javeri.net
