Unicorn

Noun: unicorn 'yooni'korn An imaginary creature represented as a white horse with a long horn growing from its forehead. Though the popular image of the unicorn is that of a white horse differing only in the horn, the traditional unicorn has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hoofs, which distinguish him from a horse. Interestingly, these modifications make the horned ungulate more realistic, since only cloven-hoofed animals have horns.

Pataleshwar caves


In the heart of Pune city amid the hustle and bustle of the JungliMaharaj road there lies this patch of land that is completely serene and indifferent to the surrounding noise as though it has built a "force field" around itself - Pataleshwar caves. These weredug up during excavation carried out in the area and hence the name. The caves house a temple of Lord Shiva with a magnificient Nandi opposite to the entrance. I went there on a rainy saturday morning which renders a mystic greenish hue to these photographs.
