Rest Time

Friends I am going out for 15 days for some REST...

Here is one more set of pictures which I have taken in different part of Nainital...

Street Dancer

When I was child I always watched him dance in every street of Nainital… In summer time he came to Nainital for 2 months and spends his time in dance on street. That was a big time pass for me and so many others. He has a charm and his dance postures were amazing.  But suddenly he stopped coming and I also got busy in other things…

Last year suddenly I again saw him dancing on street. That was the happiest moment for me to see him dance again but this time he was looking sick and old. Perhaps that would be the reason he was not coming… Well that time I had my mobile so I took some of his pictures but after this he again stopped…

Now I can feel that this collection is very memorable for me and want to share with you all...

I always try to find out about him but everybody told me a different story so not able to write down anything about him…

Parda Dhara, Nainital

 This building is one of the old British construction  of Nainital, situated at Mallital area of Nainital.  This building basically  made for people to take bath, especially women. I couldn’t get any information, when it built.

Though people still use this but when I went inside the building, room was stinking badly.

St. Francis Church, Nainital

This Catholic Church situated at the lake side of Nainital. Architect of this church is very beautiful and attractive.
