A couple of photos - the view from our cottage in Mashobra [near Naldehra]  in the Shimla Hills. The mist rolling up the pine forested hills and a nice sunset later that evening.

The cottage on a misty and rainy day ~ Mannat & Jyoti at Mashobra ~ Mannat sketching flowers in the garden at Simla ~ My Mother looking on and giving Mannat the names of the flowers.

Mannat and Anil airborne..... and coming back to a perfect landing. We went straight up on an updraft.... a beautiful «flight» until the speedboat chap decided to have some fun and drop us to the water and skimmed us with our legs trailing on the surface for a a few seconds - we had seen the jellyfish in the ocean a few minutes earlier and it was not a very pleasant thought to be dumped in teh sea with those creatures. Yikes!

  
The kid yelling in the background was being teased by the other guys, they were threatening to send him up to accompany Jyoti. Cant show the «landing» photo.... the instructor who accompanied Jyoti made too fast a side-slip and they came crashing into the sand in a jumble with the ropes.
On second thoughts, here it is. LOL!

And this is BALAA, a great guy who runs the informal water-sports company on Batu Ferringi Beach.
