This evening, I was glancing through my photo album in flickr.com after a long time. Till 2010, I was a regular visitor there. I used to upload photos regularly. Afterwards, I became irregular .

Little did I know that I shall have problem with supply of batteries. My Eveready 'red' batteries gave up during the very 1st day of my arrival. It was at 12.26 pm when last of the batteries died and .....

No supply was available in that village . I however managed to take lots of photos with a borrowed contraption for charging batteries from one of my cousin's neighbour. The shots of an old ruin of a palace was quite liked my friends - but, that is another story.
