Next we have this one from Mustafa Poyill, taken on his trip to Kerala in March. He says he was "playing in the water to avoid the heat."

N Venkatraman of Bangalore contributed this scenic shot of what he calls a "parasailing duet" at Calangute Beach in Goa.

"I went on a road trip with friends some 80 kms from the city to a place called Kazipur in the Medak District," says Prashanth Yerramilli from Hyderabad. "On our way, we came across this bullock cart and I asked the man whether I could ride with him. He allowed me to do so."

And finally, we have this one from Mumbai-based Darshan Naik, of a group of bikers at Fort Aguada in Goa.
