Cricket, politics and cinema are often called the connecting forces that unite India but on a physical level I think it’s the Indian railways. Take a longish route and you’re soon exposed to the most myriad types of experiences and people. What better way to foster tolerance and understanding than being stuffed in a metal cabin with other people?
Enhancing the already present splendor of the Taj Mahal is a building that stands on the western side of it, a Mosque made up of red sandstone. Isn’t it beautiful?

India celebrates its Independence Day on the 15th of August. The Indian School of Business has started a tradition of hosting school children from impoverished backgrounds including the blind and the deaf. Under the banner of the event “Bandhan” students of this business school volunteer to sing, dance, teach and get taught alongside these children.
Below is a collection of pics from just one slice of the day – as the kids prepare to do some craft work (art in my humble opinion).
Just click on an image to get started.
