Pictures of Tripura - 2

The biggest advantage of being a student is that you get those long summer & winter vacations. This was the longest break I had in last 4 years. So I tried to use to the fullest by lot of traveling and clicking pics my new found obsession. I clicked some really nice pics in Trichy and lot of pics in Tripura but unfortunately the hard disk of my laptop crashed and I lost almost all my pics. Luckily I had few pics saved in my pen drive, which I am uploading here. I really miss the pics I clicked in Udaipur, the pics of the ruins of the old palace had come out really well, the pictures of river Gomati flowing in its full force was mesmerizing. There is no way I can get them back again :(

King of Bandra

How about going to college/office in an Auto rickshaw which has a TV where you can catch the morning news, read the morning newspaper with the option of reading from 3 different languages, a phone from where you can make local & std calls, charge your mobile phone. No I am not high on anything while I am writing this post. If you are doing any of the above things while traveling in an auto, you are probably traveling in Sandeep Bacche's auto.

Today while returning from college I took a ride in his wonder auto. His auto also has the daily currency conversion rates, mineral water, candies and what not.

The man who calls himself "The king of Bandra" is also king of heart. Every Sunday he goes to an old age home and distributes food, he offers discount to physically disabled people, he doesn't charge anything from visually impaired travellers.

When quizzed what prompted him to do all this, his simple reply was "Aadmi agar Chahe to Kya nehi kar sakta hai? Iye to bahut mamuli cheez hai."
