Semi-Circular Well

Found this well in my native place - Chendia in Karwar.
It's strange that I never noticed this semi-circular well in any of the previous visits.

There's an old temple in the same lane as our house; though I am atheist, I liked (plz. note the past tense) visiting that temple as it was supposed to a temple my great granny was deeply connected too. Also, because of the pond next to the temple, where there were once crocodiles. Exactly opposite to this temple, is a house that has this semi-circular well.

Now, why past tense for liked visiting the temple - the last time I had been there was because the temple was renovated - the idol of the goddess & the entire template was a new one now. It was very heartbreaking to see a concrete building in place of that sweet old, cool temple.

Native Place

A few snaps of our native place called 'Chendia' in Karwar. I was not born there & I never lived there either. But I love that place.... greeny, greeny, everywhere


The green lanes full of coconut trees and walls made of laterite brickstones




Pond full of lotus
