Chasing her freedom ..., originally uploaded by £$þ.

We talk about women equality and independence in length but the truth is we totally restrict them behind the bars of this society. Unfortunately it all looks as if "Chasing her freedom and dreams" will always be a far fetched dream in this country!

"The day when a woman can walk in the midnight without any fear is the day when India is really free"

Captured this photograph during my recent trekking expedition in the Himalayas. We camped under a complete starlit sky with Snowcapped mountains perfectly lit by the moon.

Such a night sky must've been a common scene for our ancestors even in the city but with the growing light pollution problem, city dwellers are never going to enjoy such night sky unless they travel miles away from the city.
