Oh I love that monochrome entry below.
That is an impressive building.
ReplyDeleteInteresting building, interesting name. We carry our history with us!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting...sounds like he sort of set himself up as the chief of his own party and now his son's running things...and they want to run the country? Verrry interesting!
ReplyDeleteCool looking building and I can almost picture a slogan below the guy that says "Uncle Bal wants you" a take on the American uncle Sam who points his finger much like that.
ReplyDeleteI also like your monochrome picture.
That's a very interesting building.I like the the lil pointy things on top.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot, as always and a really interesting building.
ReplyDeleteI hope they're good and trustworthy politicians.

@ Hilda: no politician in the world can be trusted.
ReplyDelete@ Magic Eye: Jai Maharashtra!
Politicians are universal. Love them or loathe them have to have them and house them. I would never have guessed what this building was. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great building! Very large - exuding power, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteInteresting story
ReplyDeletefrom a big building ;)
Building is beautiful, I like it!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting looking building!
ReplyDeleteI thought Bal Thackery was BJP. Or is that the same bunch by another name? The orange flag on the roof suggests that it is, but maybe that's more universal than I realized.
ReplyDeleteAren't these the same guys they came down on for hassling tourists and couples a few months ago? What'd they call those guys... Oh yeah, the Saffron Brigade or something close to that.
Guys like Thackery worry me. Wherever they are and whatever dogma they embrace, they worry me.
But. Makes the building an impressive photograph!
Wonderful shot of a very impressive building ...
ReplyDeleteI like the photo as the building:
ReplyDeleteI like a bit less the political,
its image so great, those sunglasses ...
This is a wonderful blog! The photos are professional looking. I like the way that you compose them. My favorite is the "X" picture. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteLovely building, great photo and I learned something new today, thank you.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Building. But not good Photo. Coz he is the guy who wants to divide mumbai and yes Inda. North and west.
ReplyDeleteI hope they're good and trustworthy politicians.
