Microbrewery in Pune and Bangalore

These are pictures of the equipment or machinery that is found in a microbrewery. A microbrewery is a brewery which produces limited amounts of beer on a small scale. These photos are of large cylindrical machines that make beer. Strictly speaking these are brew pubs because when a brewery functions as a beer pub or beer bar then it's called a brewpub. The term microbrewery is used when beer is distributed beyond the four walls of the brewery. In this case the brew is not distributed outside, even in small quantities and therefore the term brewpub is more appropriate.

The advantage of freshly brewed beer is well, it's fresh, without additives, and has delicious flavors.

This brewpub image is that of a place called Toit on 100 ft road in Indira Nagar, Bangalore. The beer is brewed in smart steel shiny cylinders inside the pub. These beer making machines or beer making equipment looks very well maintained.

A closer look at the machines which go to make the beer brew.

Another image of the inside of the brewery.

This picture is from the Doolally microbrewery, a microbrewery or brewpub in Pune in the Corinthian Hotel in Kondhwa, Pune. The containers used to brew beer here are made of copper.

Cycle carts with three wheels

Cycle carts to carry goods are used frequently in towns and cities of India. These three-wheeled carts have a cycle attached which makes it easy to maintain and inexpensive to run. They have a small load carrying capacity. However these vehicles are used in fairly innovative ways as the first picture demonstrates.


This man is smoking a bidi as he rides his cycle cart on a cold morning near Jaipur, in Rajasthan. Believe it or not this small cyclecart is carrying long flexible pipes which are potruding for several feet, if not meters, outside his vehicle. This would be considered a dangerous vehicle on the roads of any developed country but for India, this is common. The traffic police would not bother to penalize this driver who is trying to earn a living.

This is a smaller cycle cart which is being used to a large wicker basket full of vegetables. Some vegetable vendors carry this on their heads and a lucky few have a vehicle to cart it around in. This photograph was shot in Kolkata.

Carvings of the Aurangabad Caves

The elaborate and intricate carvings on the walls and temples of the Aurangabad caves is worth seeing and not just because it is more than 14 centuries old! These carvings are to be found in the 12 artificial rock-cut Buddhist cave shrines which are located on top of a hill near Aurangabad, Maharashtra.
These carvings are a spectacular representation of Indian Classical Art.

The figure, possibly of Buddha with two female attendants or consorts. All around the figures which have been carved into the soft rock you can see flowery designs and pretty borders.

Another figure of a couple surrounded by motifs from nature like leaves and flowers. Some remnants of colour can be seen on this eroded rock face.

A similar carving on the rock temple pillar, with three figures. A couple and another femaile. Flower and leaf motifs.

Stark barren desolate scene

This black and white image of a harsh landscape gives a sense of loneliness and desolation, a sense of grief and abandonment. The starkness is brought out by the dark sky in the background and the barren lifeless trees in the foreground. The rapidly drying up water source reminds us that life is dying. The reflection of the trees and the sky in the water is stronger than the actual trees and the sky, signifying that all that is life is its shadow.

The same image has been given an effect by using an orange glow, giving an impression of a forest fire.

Another images depicting graphically a forest fire. The bleakness of the scene shows how inhospitable the land is now, and it is as if setting it on fire is the only answer.

(The first two images with special effects are based on a photograph by my niece when she was in school, and the third one is based on a photograph I took on the way to Divarkarwadi)

Old ledgers, files and papers

Yes, this style of record keeping is existent in India! Computers may or may not be present in some offices, but they will not always keep old records. The records are not fed into computers and therefore the old ledgers and files are the only way to access old records.

These are photographs of old ledgers and stacks of papers which are usually found in government and also at times private offices in India. Computerisation is not always the preferred or affordable method.

Here is heap of old files and papers. They can be a fire hazard. Many government offices also have these type of files and papers. Imagine if one has to find a paper in this heap! Only a person working here for a long time will be able to locate it. If you are from the younger generation finding something in these papers is like finding a needle in a haystack. Or not, perhaps we can say that finding a paper in a paperstack is worse than finding a needle in a haystack.
