Pavansut: The Monkey God

In the past, I have visited Grand Canyon twice.  Once I was there by myself, and another time I took my parents and my uncle, Mr. RS Tiwari when they were visiting me in the US.  Both times I went to the southern rim and on both time I didn't go down to the canyon itself.  Each time however, I was filled with wonderment at this amazing architecture of nature and wondered to myself, how cool it would be to travel down the Colorado river on a raft.

June 29 - Update

This is still work in progress.  A few finishing touches need to be added, but its getting there.  Still not satisfied with the wall... wonder if I should paint it all grey, or yellow and grey looks ok.  The blinds need to be painted some more and the plant.  Perhaps the back edge of the table needs some work.
