new begin­nings. new year., orig­i­nally uploaded by anitab­ora. Wish­ing all of you vis­it­ing JALS an absolutely gor­geous 2005. This beau­ti­ful sight I encoun­tered in Hampi on Christ­mas Day has remained entrenched in my mind. With all the tragic events that fol­lowed, these are the moments that become even more pre­cious. I do hope you like it. Love […]
