Ross Island

Hello friends .

The picture above shows the entrance-view of the Ross Island ,a small island located at a distance of few kilometres from Port Blair ,capital-city of Andaman-Island .

When we visited this island ,we had to make a 15-20 minutes-long ferry-travel from a Port Blair's jetty .
Our journey was quite smooth but there are strong sea-currents all along the route .

Anyways ,let me tell you all about this small-historical island ,which was once ruled by the British during the 1990s .As you will reach the Ross Island jetty ,you would feel that you would have travelled back to past .
It is known that this was the  residence of the families of all the British-officers who worked in the Andaman Island .Then ,it had all buildings one might expect a civilised island to have namely -bazaar, bakery, stores, workshop, water distillation plant, church, tennis court, printing press, secretariat, hospital, cemetery, open air theater,etc.

This is the ruins of the Presbytarian Church of the British who resided in the Ross Island .It has not been renovated in the recent years and this fact draws your imagination to the past .It is a peculiar feeling that one gets on imagining what this church actually looked like a few decades back .The stairs leading to the church-gate are left as they were and walking on those stairs ,one can actually imagine the times when the British-residents walked to this church .

This is the graveyard where the British-residents of Ross Island gor buried on their death .One is sure to get shivers and chills when he walks across this graveyard .This graveyard draws your mind to the past like no-other structure can in this island .It holds back the past-memories which would force your mind to imagine and imagine more .

This is a well-preserved picture of the Ross Island-bazaar ,which flourished with vegetables-and-fruits when the British resided in this island .Now ,only the ruins of the bazaar remain ,with the roots of huge-trees all over it .The ruins would force your mind to imagine as if you are still standing amidst the flourishing-bazaar of the 1990s !








There are many other structures whose only ruins remain there now .But these ruins attract tourists towards this island which was once a civilsed-island in the past .Let your mind flow to the past and imagine ,and you would find yourself in a British-township ,where peace thrived .

Welcome...to my INDIA

That's my india....our india!

It's my first post out here...the start of a long journey for me i reckon!
india's beauty is different from what we see in western-world - that's what pulls the  foreigners to visit india again and again.

The picture above isn't a tourist-spot of course, but it demonstrates the dynamic-beauty of our motherland...the beauty that was never created or built, but rather it descended from Heaven .
