Bagan (formerly Pagan) is an ancient city located in the Mandalay Region of Burma (Myanmar). From the 9th to 13th centuries, the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan, the first kingdom to unify the regions that would later constitute modern Myanmar. During the kingdom's height between the 11th and 13th centuries, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the Bagan plains alone, of which the remains of over 2200 temples and pagodas still survive to the present day.

Dhammayangyi Temple - Largest of all the temples in Bagan. Built by King Narathu, who came to the throne by assassinating his father Alaungsithu and his elder brother, presumably built this largest temple to atone for his sins



Bupaya Pagoda - The original pagoda was completely destroyed in the 1975 earthquake.

After a serious analysis I finally came to a decision which kind of dog I’m going to have next. It’s going to be a ‘Golden Retriever’ ! I have never seen a magnificent breed like this. The name for my Golden Retriever is going to be either ‘Hachi’ or ‘Twitter’ ! Hachi in the memory of famous Japanese dogHachiko and Twitter in the memory of the person who first developed this breed, Baren Tweedmouth. Tweed - Tweet - Twitter.. Get it ? 

When I said this to my mom, she told that we won't always have time to spend with dog, so it's better to by two instead of one. When I heard this, my mind voice was, ' Kanna Rendu Laddu thinga Aasaya ?!!' :) :)

I came across these beautiful drawings couple of days before, when I was browsing aimlessly through some websites.Initially I thought these are done by some computer software, then came to know that these are drawn by Ileana Hunter.

Even though I have already seen her in one of the Victoria's Secret shows (Of course in TV only ), After watching Transformers 3 I couldn't stop myself from googling her. I'm sharing some of her pictures here which aren't too much revealing ;)
