Haridwar and Rishikesh : A surprise trip // Photosynth a great tool

Made a surprise trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh in Uttarakhand. Bathed in the Ganges in the famous Har-ki-pauri ghat too. It was a day trip as I had a day off and we actually managed without any need for a hotel booking from Pantnagar.

BTW, I used the Photosynth app to shoot the Lakshman Jhula temple and must say that both the location and the app rock! (Click pick below)You feel as if you are standing on the bridge and seeing the ganga flowing past you.


Tips: Leave the car in the parking and walk across in the shortcut with just your towel. Its less cold than you think even in Nov . Hold the rails and it is quite safe if you do. Its refreshing and gives good sleep - so dont plan to drive after a bath in the river.

Movie: Life of Pi (3D) : Very beautifully taken

Ang Lee's movie of the book Life of Pi (Yann Martel Book) is beautifully picturized.

 I generally do not see movie adaptations of books and had read the book about 4 years back. When I saw tickets available at Santham and had pretty much nothing to do this weekend, booked and went for it.

The scenes are picturized very well and the scenery is amazing. The 3D impact is also significant. (Much better than Tin Tin Spielberg - see my earlier post)
