Clouds



After a long wait, we did receive a little rain and snow at the peaks but that wasn't enough. This year Its not raining much neither we have got snowfalls as it was in yesteryears, This will hamper the crops in coming season, specially the apple growers will suffer from it.

Still hopeful many are still praying for ample rains and snow.

A different View



Visualizing this world with a different view makes a lot of difference. Everyday we come across many things and they do affect us in one or other way. Living life on a lighter note makes the world more beautiful but to do that isn't easy.

Kullu Valley in Winters



Many of us consider winters as dead, nothing going on. But for Kullu or other hilly areas winters is the most happening and much awaited time of the season. Not only the locals but the tourist wait for this season and hail towards the hill tops to enjoy the chill and the snow.

Year end break i.e. last week of the year is the most favorite time of many visitors . Special parties are also arranged for Christmas and New year. Usually the main tourist spot i.e. Manali, Solang nala, Rohtang pas are covered with snow during this period. Like other parts of world we too are the witness of Global Warming. We use to get snow in mid December but this year It snowed in Manali in January all this is affecting our environment and economy too.
