< Life in a slow motion. Like this pic. Took in from the bus.>
Took an extended weekend break from work ( sat, sun, mon) and went with my family to the villages in remote Gujarat where my grandfather and great grandfather used to live. There were around 35 of us and boy what a gr8 time we had. We boarded a train from Bombay to a place called Than in Gujarat and from there we traveled for 3 days to all the places in a luxury bus. The best part was the train journey as almost half the boogie was booked for our family. I had a blast going to remote places and meeting new people. I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity to drive a tractor ( Yes! and I drove it pretty well ), ride on a bullock cart and eat cotton buds directly off the fields. I really cherish all those moments. It game me ample time to experiment with photography while riding past lush green farms of corn, cotton, maize, etc. I saw many different kinds of birds too and was lucky enough to spot a bald Owl on a tree. I had always said no for this trip coz I was too busy with work but eventually said yes to my cousins. Looking back it was a good decision
