A one day trip to the nearest fall ended with a splat (All puns intended). The Hogenakkal website describes the falls as "exciting holiday destination", "scenic", "sure to catch your attention", "beautiful" and of course, "picturesque". Too bad they left out "seasonal" and "overrun with naked people".

Ignore the three drips in the foreground and concentrate on the three trickles in the middle-ground - unfortunately those were supposed to be the 'Niagara of India'.
It obviously wasn't 'that time of the year' for Hogenakkal, but irregular periods are usually nothing to worry about, so we didn't let it bother us too much. In fact, we stayed till sunset, which brings us to photo number two:
Expectations aside, I'd still award Hogenakkal 30 points, especially for the amusement it provided us in calling it Hortugal (a.k.a. Portugal), Hagga-na-kar (Hindi: Do not shit), and whatever other childish names our immature intellects came up with.

And there goes my theory about 'one picture':)
ReplyDeleteI was halfway through deleting one of the pictures just to fit your theory when i realised 'Porcupine Tree Review' in April and 'The Dissertation From Hell' in May had two (02 nos.) and zero (00 nos.) 'pitchers' (pictures) respectively, so I let it slide, as you must too.
ReplyDeleteThe photographs are great. The text is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm going through your entire archives. I have nothing better to entertain myself with.
