In the days of advanced technology pottery is still a sustainable profession.

Met Laxmi Devi and her family today and was one of the best movement spending time with them. "I don't remember when I started doing this. May be since my childhood I was born to do this" said a 67 years old Laxmi Devi whose family is into pottery making since last all generations. Pottery making is a skill and needs care to be taken at every stage. 


Where it takes 3 days to make a pot most people keep on bargaining for the small 20 rupees margin they make with a pot. Apart from all this the family is very happy about their profession and also gave me some basic lessons on how the mud should be prepared for it. 


Yes it was a lesson learnt in life that - No profession is big or small, it's our determination that makes it big.

Rock Garden Kokan INDIA

According to some Hindu Mythological legends, Parashurama shot his arrow into the sea and commanded the Sea God to recede up to the point where his arrow landed. The new piece of land thus recovered came to be known as Konkan meaning "piece of earth", "corner of earth" or "piece of corner": koṇa (कोण, corner) + kaṇa (कण, piece). This legend has been mentioned in Sahyadrikhanda of the Skanda Purana.

The Rock garden is situated near the Arase Mahal and on the Rocky Shore of Malvan.
For people who love photoshoots and photography this place is heaven. You sit on one of the rocks and see the waves coming to you in seconds. Then there are some rocks which restrict them and as a result there are light showers of water that come on you.

The weather here is just awesome and you can enjoy anytime of the year even if it's raining. Travel lovers you can just miss this place if you ever happen to visit the western coast of India. Do comment your views.

The Palace of Breeze - Hawa Mahal


As I walked down into the palace which I used to see in my books of STD 4th I realised that there was something inside which was more interesting. "Hawa Mahal" or the "Palace of Breeze" is completely built in red and pink stones.
In 1799 Maharaj Sawai Pratap Singh laid it's foundation and the motive was that all the queen's in his palace could see the street festivals from the palace itself. It resembles to a honeycomb structure from the exterior.
Well one answer I couldn't figure out here was that the palace has 953 windows and in context with the motivation behind building it did the king had these many queens in reality ? Huh Irony 
Travelling teaches a lot as of every place in this Mahal has good source of wind flowing in and if you are motivated in your own life you will surely find a source for Goodwill to come into your life and you will do good for the society.
