Far far away

Exactly one year ago I was working in Mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra state, and the house of many Indian corporations and Bollywood. I visited the house where Mahatma Gandhi was living in the 1920s when he was fighting for the independence of India, and I saw the festival of Ganesh, or Ganapati like He is called here.

But this is also the time of the year when Elena birthday occurs, and so I was not too happy to be far, far away. You can't really go back to home for the weekend, from here. I took this picture with the self-timer, from my hotel room - it is dark outside, but in Mumbai the sunset happens quite early and I was in contact with Central Europe, 3:30 hours ahead of me.
