Today I am going to tell you our outings in pics. We went to Dhauli ( shaanti stupa!!) on a very pleasant Sunday afternoon. It was quite calm and relaxing place (though not properly maintained but still quite peaceful). It has 4 big idols of Lord Buddha , one of which is sleeping Buddha.
We really had a very good time there. Right from the time we got there, drizzling started and whole environment was painted lush green.
This was the pillar on entrance where something was written in Japanese. When we were about to take picture on this place, dad suddenly tickled me and I burst into laughter. This picture is the result of good team work (dad's tickling, mom's capturing it on camera & me smiling as usual)
This is picture which was actually taken beside "Sleeping Buddha", was cropped as I became very tiny in the frame. Mom was happy to hold me as I was quite unusually and enjoying the fresh breeze of unpolluted air.
This is a enclosing boundary through which picturesque Bhubneshwar is visible. I enjoyed getting clicked at every location.
Dad has put a scraf on my head. My get- up now resembles a Khalsa (bole so nihal ....sat sri akaal!!!!). 
Mom has wonderfully clicked this picture when we were not ready.....
After very long time, we finally clicked a family picture ( courtesy anonymous uncle who clicked the pic for us!!!)
I tried to stand on my feet....
A "not so bad" photography by Dad.....
Finally we came back to our house in the evening but the trip gave long lasting memories.....
