• #WDYS : A grey world

  

  A mild cold wave swept over Dhaka on January 3rd. The temperature fell to 11 degrees C. We couldn’t see the sun for a week. Apparently, this is the coldest it has ever been here…yet another sign of climate change or global warming. The picture was taken at 7.00 a.m. on the 8th of January…

• Wordless Wednesdays: The world upside down

  

  I was surprised to see such a clear reflection as this lake is nowhere near clean; I couldn’t resist taking the picture. Beauty is all around us. All we need to do is look with an open mind rather than assume based on perception. Copyright@smithavishwanathsblog.com. All Rights Reserved.

• Thursday Doors : Gulshan’s beautiful gates (2)

• Wordless Wednesdays: Decked ahead of Christmas

  

  I saw this cycle rickshaw driver as I was shopping for crockery and I just had to take a picture. He was definitely successful in making heads turn- talk about product differentiation. Only, I can’t imagine how it must have felt wearing that headgear and jacket in the sweltering afternoon sun. The seat may be…
