In Frame: A bell at the entrance of an inn at Har Ki Pauri - Haridwar

While on the way to 'Har To Pauri' the sound of this bell made to take a notice of it. There is a famous saying in Hindi - " shankh ghant baje kal kant dur bhage" which means sounds of conch and bell drives away bad and difficult times.

 The street on its way to Har ki Pauri, is full of charitable inns and this bell is on the front door of one such inn. On its face its the sign of 'OM' and very fine drawings and a chain to ring it. It has been hanged exactly in way that it occupies the centre space on the face of entrace door.

This bell face the east direction and on morning sun rays really adds an alluring charm togther with the sound of its ring.

This picture was taken after diwali of 2009 when I visited Haridwar with my mother.

God's Gate Keeper

   In Frame : Rani. Do we need to say who she is ? Rani is the elephant at Manarkul Vinayagar Temple at Pondicherry (Pondy) whom one can see the entrance of the temple. She has been trained to shower blessings on devotees who offer her money and eatables especially banana. On festivals she is beautifully decorated with colorful usually red and golden yellow robes and cloth sheets and carries the idols of Lord Ganesha along with the religious processions which passes through prominent streets of Pondy notable among them is JN Sreat and MG Road. Clicked in Aug 2008 at Manarkul Temple, Pondy during my first visit to the temple.

Times Life : 2 May, 2010-05-18 In this artcle Indrani Rajkhowa Banerjee brings into life a very inspiring account of ordinary people who are amazingly trying to create a difference in lives of those to whom small things we never care of can bring a lot of difference. Consider few instance, taken from the said article and other sources: Someone in Mumbai distributes footwear at traffic signals to barefoot people, another man collects the leftover food at weddings to feed hungry kids, in Delhi a gentleman distributes drinking water in shanties of west Delhi, another person never leaves home without packets of glucose biscuits for poor kids, a young journalist instead of visiting church every sunday religiously visits nearby home for aged people and spends her time with them………… A guy collects rickety and torn out bicycles and repairs them and gives them to school kids who otherwise would have dropped as parents are reluctant to send kids far away to schoo...
