Operation Sindoor
Operation Sindoor!
Sindoor is made from this beautiful plant. I clicked this photograph during my recent visit to Varanasi. Westerners call it vermilion. It's not just a color; it's a relation. In Sanatan Dharma, it's considered a symbol of marital bliss. Operation Sindoor avenged the barbaric terrorist attack on April 22, 2025, at Pahalgam, where 26 men were killed in front of their wives, destroying their sindoor. It's not just a color; it's everything for those women.
Kudos to the Indian Army!

4 Dham
4 DHAM
1. Rameshwaram (August 3, 2008):
Bunking clases and traveling myriad places in search of journey. I happened to visit my friend in Chidambaram, a beautiful town in Tamil Nadu, He was studying his masters. It was an impromptu trip. Just decided to board the train to Chennai from Pune. This pilgrimage was impromptu, it was a sceneric journey by ECR(East Coast Road) to reach Chidambaram. Traveling along with sea shore in company coconut trees just offers you beautiful landscapes which you are going to remember for rest of the life. First we went to Chidambaram then Tanjavur then Madurai finally reached to Lord's Shiva's feat. A significant pilgrimage site in southern India, known for its Ramanathaswamy Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. It's one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and a its first part of my Char Dham yatra.
2. Badrinath (September 13, 2012):
A holy town in Uttarakhand, nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas, and home to the famous Badrinath Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It's a key site in the Char Dham yatra and offers breathtaking natural beauty. It was solo trip enroute to Valley of Flowers. It was challenging to travel to Badrinath due to frequent and intermittent landslides on the route. This side of Himalayan mountains are very fragile. This was the first time in my life I was scared of traveling on edge enroute to Badrinath. Wherever buses stops people used to say that the meeting with Badri Vishal is not easy, one has to pass through many hurdles.
3. Puri (November 16, 2023):
The only place where Lord Jagannath's hunger is sated is Puri. The city's 56 Bhog offerings definitely satiate the Lord's needs. Puri, a city in Odisha, is famous for the Jagannath Temple, one of the Char Dham sites, dedicated to Lord Krishna and known for its grand Rath Yatra festival. It was here that I met my soulmate, and I'm still wondering if our meeting was serendipitous or fate. Should I call it a clandestine meeting or a rendezvous? Hard to conclude. I have been told not to wish anythings in your prayers from Lord Jagannath, because he fulfill your wish in abundance so that you start regretting. Just pray him to take care of you as he wishes so. This was the place we seek Lord's blessings and started planing for our engagement and marriage. Certain things in life are beyond the imagination we just have keep faith in Lord.
4. Dwarka (March 6, 2025):
A city in Gujarat, considered one of the seven ancient cities of India. It's a significant pilgrimage site, home to the Dwarkadhish Temple, which is dedicated to Lord Krishna. Would you called it a love story or devine intervention when you met your soul mate and seek blessings from Lord Jagannath at Puri before marriage and again meet Lord Krishna at Dwarka after marriage. Dwarkadhish and lord Jagannath are manifestation of same deity i.e. Krishna.
