Bhavna Bhatanagar
Hey Vini! Thanks a bunch 🙂 How have you been?
Thanks Anaka – that one is my favorite too :). Unfortunately it wasn’t as cool as I had hoped for…but was definitely better that the roasting Delhi!
Hey Rajee! Thanks for the welcome back! We visited Norbulingka, but stayed at the Chandpur tea estate (Country Cottage) in Palampur. I think the monasteries had something to do with my getting my mojo back 😉
Bhavna Bhatanagar
Aww..its awfully nice of you to say so Royal Creme! I feel blessed to have so many people who were concerned about why I wasn’t posting. I hope to keep bringing colorful inspiration on this blog for years to come 🙂
Thanks Paavani! I am contemplating another trip in June..hope to bring more travel snaps then!
Thanks Christine! I am using a Canon PowerShot SD880 IS [Digital camera. Haven’t got the hang of SLRs yet ;)]

The iris in front of the church blends well and it adds beauty to the pic…while the glass paiting is magnificient!
Have a great day!
Rajee Sood
You really are back goody… goody… great to have you back Bhavna … I loved the pictures … the St.John’s Church … have fond memories of that place … where did you stay … I hope you put up at Norbulingka …
Look forward to see your mojo charged up and back in action.
Anaka
Hey Bhavna,
Love the last photograph the most! Lucky you- got to travel and escape the heat of Delhi for a while 🙂
Thanks for writing on my blog- started the FB ads very recently…
and I would love to retail in Delhi, just haven’t searched hard enough for the right store yet.
vineeta
Hey! Welcome BACK!! Its great to see you. You were sorely missed! 🙂
Christine
welcome back – so glad to see you here again. What kind of camera did you get? Your pics are really sharp and clear.
Christine
Paavani
your pics showing that you had a great time. Now we are eagerly waiting to see more details about your recent travel/trips 🙂
royal creme
We have been a little selfish haven’t we? It was time away that allowed you to spoil us again. It’s good to have you back and for you to teach us about patience…
Bhavna Bhatanagar
Thank you LBE :)..here I come again with crazy colors!
Thanks Julie 🙂
Thanks Excellent Taste! [love your name! – leave no doubt ;-)]..I guess yes, monks anywhere would look the same since they follow the same sect. It would actually quite fun to get them to stand still for a few moments for me to able to click them. If you look at them carefully, they are ready to take flight!
The powerpuff girls! I have nieces (many!) and I can completely relate to your version of mojo, Sunita :). Thanks for dropping by!
Bhavna Bhatanagar
Thanks Anusha! I couldn’t get enough of the monastery – the colors, the peace and quiet, and everything so clean and proper. It was a great experience!
Yoli! Hello and thank you for your welcome! 🙂
Gracias Kanika! will try to be more regular 🙂
Bhavna Bhatanagar
Ah! I can’t tell how tempting 8 degrees sounds to me right now Agusta! I wish we could exchange some bits of our weather and get to a comfortable spring like weather in both Delhi and Iceland 😉
Thanks Aditi! Loved going through your blog today!
Thanks Chandan, feels good to be back among e-friends 🙂
Bhavna Bhatanagar
Thanks Eva! The photographs were taken at the Tashijong Monastery which is near Palampur in Northern India. The Northern states of India have a rich Buddhist heritage given the exodus of people from Tibet.
Yes, I too think it was about time Chryselle! 😉 Thanks for dropping me this note
Thanks Kshama! I recently got a Canon PowerShot SD880 IS
Bhavna Bhatanagar
Twisha, I did have a good break last week after two crazy months of work and family commitments! Feels good to be back to blogging 🙂
Thanks Renate! :)…yup, trying to keep the mojo on a upswing now 😉
Thanks Manika! Vijay is going to get the camera in his face pretty soon, so he better not say anything 😉
Sunita
Hi! Its great having you back. Love the photos taken with your new camera. Which one?
Mojo? Everytime I hear the word I keep thinking of Mojo Jojo in Powerpuff Girls . Aaah.. you can make out I have a little girl in the house, cant you? 😀
Excellent Taste
Finally you’re back, stumbled onto your blog and noticed how gorgeous your pictures of the interior designs are…. very inspiration and when you were not updating …it was really upsetting and glad you are back to it now…BTW, the young monks look like Burmese monks ….similarities of india and burma i gues…
Julie
