I have seen a few beautiful Sunrises over the years. This one ranks among the top few- at Chikhaldara, Maharashtra. Straight from our balcony.

Parting Shots of IIM Indore Nov 17
Nov. 17, 2020, my last but one day on campus. Naturally, I tried to make the most of it, like graduating students do. I may visit again, but it won't be the same,... here are the results of my attempts to pack in some good shots..
Above- Sunrise from behind the ER-3 or EPGP Mess. I had dinner at this mess most of my years and some interesting conversations with Srinivas, Bhavanishankar, Bhavana, Abhishek and Rashmi and daughter, and Joyshankar. Also a couple with Swatantra.
Above. From the sports ground, looking back at Hostel SR-15 and the climb up.
Top down view of the same staircase and cricket ground.
This is how the pre-sunrise sky looked, with my tea mug and without, from my terrace..house no. 40.
Below- This was a day earlier, at Choral Dam, my first visit.
Unexpected Bonanzas
A peacock sitting on your wall is least expected while making your morning cup of tea. But this is exactly what I saw a couple of days ago. He did not seem perturbed by my camera and posed for a pic or two before walking/flying away. Also met Saumyaa Sharma who used to be my (favourite) academic associate for 3 years. Now she works in Marketing Research up North, after similar stints at Bangalore and Mumbai.
Another bonanza from nature, was this fabulous filtered Sunrise which arrived where I was sitting, in my study. All I had to do was turn around and click.
An older pic of the same three as above, a few years ago at Mashaal.
That was a farewell for Saumyaa.
