Drenching in the rain
We were in a jungle resort in Masinagudi, Tamil Nadu, surrounded by the Nilgiri mountain range," says Ranjan Kumar Mishra of this lovely pic.
"Suddenly the clouds started rolling in and my daughter stepped outside. We recently moved to India from the US. In the US my daughter had never experienced getting drenched in the rain. So when she experienced the Indian monsoon with open arms she exclaimed 'I just love the rain in India!'. My camera was ready and I clicked few snaps. This one came out really well which captured the rain as well as her mood."
Highway halt
And Shaheen Khan sends in this picture, clicked while waiting for the road to clear on the Badrinath highway following a massive landslide.
"The men in the yellow caps are responsible for our safe passage and worked in quite adverse conditions. Hats off to them!"
