Surti Poetry....

A friend of mine who's recently migrated to Canada sent me this poem on life in Surat, and just couldnt resist posting it here, even though it went against my motive of only posting pictures taken by me!! Here's to you Quresh..!!!

Slitted Temple...

Couldnt help clicking an interesting sight while having Lunch at Kwality Restaurant. Riverside temple outside the restaurant.

Horsing around on Dumas Beach...

Sunday morning at Dumas Beach.. Young boy earns a living giving horse rides... caught in a pensive mood waiting for customers. Its very disheartening to see the state of Dumas Beach littered with all kinds of waste strewn around...

Baba for Surtis..

Most Surtis pilgrimage often to Shirdi including some relaxation time at Saputara the hill resort. One of the Sewak Mandals decided to bring a larger than life fibre idol of the Baba to Surat and let Surtis seek his blessings right at home! The idol has been taken all around the city to ensure all citizens can offer their prayers.
