Sorry, the Blogspot image uploader hasn't been working for me for over a week now. I don't really know why. In any case, it is becoming obvious (and it was pretty expected) that this feature of my blog would not really be updated daily. Here are some photos to make up for my photo absence:

It's been a week, so technically I owe you seven photos. Well, I'm too lazy to choose seven, so here's one:

Inside a blanket warehouse in Bhogal Market, Jangpura--back when blankets were needed. I wonder what kind of goods are stored here now that the temperatures have hit the high 30s Celsius...

I'm going to Dharamsala with my parents for a few days, so I will not be posting another Photo of the Day for a while.

Sorry for not posting the past few days. I was in Aurangabad, Maharashtra with my parents for the weekend. To make up for it, I'll post 3 pictures today.
As part of the Gorkhaland statehood campaign, Gorkha students block the road at the Sikkim-West Bengal border (note that the small green sign under the Shyam Steel billboard says "Welcome to West Bengal"--the students would later cross out "West Bengal" and write "Gorkhaland"). This meant we had to walk across the border to enter Sikkim, as our shared jeep could not pass the sitting students.
