Camels. Rocks. Chandi.

So Chandigarh, though miraculously beautiful and clean and green for Indian standards, is not much of a tourist hotspot--but it is noted for one major claim to fame: the Rock Garden. I liked it a lot, but not everyone did (since it actually gets quite a bit of hype--and some find it to be a letdown). It's a sculpture garden spread over 40 acres, completely built of industrial & home waste and thrown-away items.
I have just written 4 blog entries, so I am opting for an easy out and using Wikipedia:
"The most powerful aspect of the gardens is that - thousands of animal or humanoid figures made out of discarded materials, which stand in rigid rows like silent static armies. It’s a series of interconnected rocky grottoes, walkways and landscaped waterfalls. All this demonstrates how urban and industrial waste can be fruitfully recycled and used in creative pursuit."
Rock on. (heh, I'm so clever...)

Very photo-op kind of spot.

Nithin and Jatinder perplexed.

Nithin and Jatinder even more perplexed.

Our day in Chandigarh included a visit to the High Court. And then we got chased down and spent a night in the slammer...:)

This is taken from my room!! A camel is going down my street!! Jatinder and I actually rode one at the Rock Garden, but I like this one more, so it's representing camels. In India. And in general.
