Darshan Naik contributed this photograph, of a boat hand taking a waterbreak at Sewri Port in Mumbai.

"This picture was taken in May last year at Shanti Stupa of Ladakh, located on the hilltop at Changspa, 1 km from Leh. It was peak summertime and the weather was a beautiful mixture of chilly yet sunny days and very cold nights," explains Lakshmi.

And finally, here is one from Neelabja Dutta, who says, "This pic was taken on a beach in Pondicherry. It was early morning and the sands were deserted. Only a fisherman's boat was tied and bobbing on the waves in the shallows."
