Sightseeing Mysore Area

Mysore had been my home for 2 years and it has been a joy to be able to spend time in that wonderful place. The weather is excellent, the people are blessing in my life, the academic life was God's special blessing, and the lesson learned about budgeting is very much valuable for the rest of my life :).

This time when I stayed in Mysore from 1 July 2013 until 15 July 2013, I was busy with graduation ceremony, saree shopping, personal shopping, meeting friends, and rounding the city. The time was just fit. It was a good holiday I shall admit, especially with the presence of Mr. JJK who had been a good photographer, a good guide to get things in cheaper price, a good care taker, a good laptop fixer, a good negotiator, and a good friend who keeps reminding me the message of God.

However, I think I just better share the pictures for today.

Our boat and this croc's distance was not more than 4 metres... It was said that once, a croc ever jumped to a boat. Thank God that day we were safe ;)

I don't know what bird this is but it always perch in the same location every morning and evening every day

There are still many other shots at other places, but I think I am tired enough to upload these today :)... Hope you enjoy the view and if you wish to visit India for a holiday, please do visit Mysore. It's one of the place where you could get things calmly without much rush. Happy evening all. God bless you!!
