A day out at Oxford

Ever from my childhood, I have heard about names like Harvard, Oxford etc., about how prestigious it will be to study in a place like them.


Well I never was able to get a seat in Oxford, but finally got a chance to visit the place.


Unlike what I thought. Oxford is a huge town, which has many universities within it. This photo is taken in front of the Oxford Library (or was it a museum!!!). gave me a great feeling to just see the place.


Within Oxford town, I went to a place wherein photos were placed of places of the world taken from the top. Did manage to get one from Jaipur, Rajasthan. This is a photo of the Rajasthani bedsheets that are being spread under the sun for the colour of the dye to get set.

This shows a World Map.

People bring their kids here and teach them Geography. Nice to see various countries and, even set a foot on any of them, without having to get Visa.


Even though i had a chance to take snap with any country of my choice, I could not take it anywhere else but India.

Could not resist a snap with Sir Isaac Newton.........
Though, in my childhood days, I used to hate him for making me study all sorts of things !!!!
On the lawns of the St. Michael Church in Oxford.
Its a mighty huge place, within which two markets like Chandni Chowk can accomodate.Here people use it for walking and recreation purpose.

Mami was thrilled to read about Oxford trip. Would like to see more such posts. She didn't fail to notice the absence Poornima's photos. Trust you make for this lapse in your next post.
