Starting a bit blurry into this week with a fantastic Click from Dadri, a town situated in the heart of the Gautam Buddha Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh. Dadri is more than just a name on a map; it's a dynamic microcosm of India's rapid urbanization. Part of the wider Delhi-NCR (National Capital Region) belt, the area has undergone a dramatic transformation, growing rapidly from expansive farmland into a pulsating urban-industrial corridor.
The town's strategic importance is rooted in its geography, specifically its location near major rail lines and vital freight corridors. This proximity has cemented its role as a key logistics and industrial hub for the NCR. Along its arteries, the landscape is defined by sprawling modern warehouses, extensive rail yards, and burgeoning new housing colonies that stretch out and intermingle with the older, more established neighbourhoods. The continuous hum of activity - the loading and unloading of goods, the passage of long-haul trains - is the constant soundtrack to life in this energetic junction.
However, there is a seasonal shift that alters this industrial rhythm. Winters in Dadri are distinctly known for their cold, often intensely foggy nights. As the evening progresses, a dense, ethereal mist descends, enveloping the highways and local roads alike. This heavy blanket of fog drastically slows the pace of the region, leading to significant traffic slowdowns and sometimes causing delays and accidents across the wider NCR.
It is precisely during these evenings that the atmosphere undergoes a profound change. The usual, insistent noise of trucks, trains, and ongoing construction is suddenly muffled and softened by the damp air. The streets adopt a dramatic, almost cinematic, and slightly eerie mood. For a moment, the overwhelming density and population of the region seem to recede. The thick air is perfect for capturing silhouettes, rendering distant lights as mesmerizing, diffused glows, and generating a palpable feeling of brief solitude within what is otherwise a perpetually crowded landscape.
This week’s stunning image perfectly encapsulates this unique, atmospheric stillness. A big foggy thank you to our local Clickstar HITCAFF for sharing this amazing, mood-setting shot with us!

Our resident food enthusiast, the Clickstar, has an undeniable fable for good food. Dive into the feed, and you’ll find yourself immediately transported by images and descriptions guaranteed to ignite your culinary wanderlust. It’s the kind of inspiration that will get you perfectly in the mood to grab a fine dinner in town tonight, whether you're seeking a hidden gem or a celebrated local favorite. The Clickstar's curated selections aren't just meals; they are experiences, setting a high bar for your next gastronomic adventure.
Beyond the immediate culinary cravings, this week's click takes us on a journey to a picturesque corner of the world, highlighting a destination where history and gastronomy meet: Szczawnica.
Szczawnica is more than just a small spa town; it is a serene haven tucked deeply into the lush valley that separates the majestic Pieniny and Beskid Sądecki mountains in southern Poland. Located in close proximity to the Slovak border, it has for centuries been a retreat for those seeking health and tranquility. The town’s fame is rooted in its extraordinary mineral springs, whose distinctively acidic waters - known locally as “szczawy” - lent the town its name and initially drew aristocratic and common visitors alike. For generations, these waters were sought after for their purported cures, complemented by the invigoratingly clean air and the breathtaking mountain scenery.
Today, Szczawnica is a charming mosaic where the elegant old spa architecture - recalling the glamour of its 19th-century peak seamlessly blends with a surprisingly lively and innovative food scene. This culinary resurgence is not about imported trends; it’s a deeply respectful and creative reworking of highlander and Galician traditions. Local chefs are the new custodians of the region's produce, incorporating ingredients that tell the story of the surrounding environment.
The menu in Szczawnica is a celebration of what the land and rivers provide. The crystal-clear waters of the mountain streams yield exquisite local trout, which often features as the centerpiece of a meal. Hearty, rich potatoes form the foundation of many dishes, while the local dairies supply excellent smoked cheeses, offering a distinct, woody flavor profile. Everything is elevated by an abundance of herbs from the surrounding hills, foraged and carefully utilized to season and complete the regional fare.
Visiting in the winter provides a particularly evocative experience. After a day spent traversing the dramatic paths of the Dunajec Gorge or hiking the snow-dusted forest trails, you invariably return with cold hands and a hungry stomach. It is in this moment that the simple act of sitting down to a plate of traditional Szczawnica food transcends mere dining; it becomes part of the ritual of mountain life. It is the necessary slowing down, the essential warming up, and the satisfying experience of tasting the region on a single forkful. This is where the food scene of Szczawnica truly shines: offering comfort, tradition, and a deep connection to the wild, beautiful landscape of the Pieniny mountains.

A picture-perfect drive by Click, captured by our esteemed Clickstar MUSTAFASATTAR, showcases the magnificent new administrative complex in Hyderabad: the Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat. This image beautifully frames a modern icon that encapsulates the spirit of this historic, yet rapidly evolving, Indian metropolis.
This striking scene is situated at the very nexus of Hyderabad, the bustling capital of Telangana. Hyderabad is a city of layers, a place that has masterfully transitioned from the opulence of the old Qutb Shahi and Nizam-era palaces into one of India’s foremost technology, pharmaceutical, and film production hubs. Dominating the foreground of the frame is the monumental, domed white structure: the Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat.
This new complex is far more than just government offices; it is a meticulously designed piece of modern architecture that has instantly cemented itself as a major landmark on the banks of the picturesque Hussain Sagar lake. Its design is a thoughtful and ambitious blend of regional and classical influences, incorporating Indo-Islamic grace, the sturdy and distinctive elements of Deccani architecture, and the detailed sculptural traditions of the Kakatiya dynasty. The result is a structure that feels simultaneously deeply rooted in the Deccan plateau's history and powerfully contemporary.
Hyderabad's architectural narrative has always been defined by monumental public buildings. From the four colossal minarets of the Charminar and the royal courts of Chowmahalla Palace, to the distinctive domes of the old High Court, the city's power and history have been written in stone. The Secretariat was conceived to stand as the modern continuation of this grand lineage.
Its design consciously echoes this tradition with a rhythmic arrangement of colossal domes, gracefully sculpted arches, and meticulously crafted ornamental details. Crowning the main dome is the Ashoka Chakra, India’s national emblem, symbolizing the democratic function housed within the palatial exterior. The structure’s sheer scale and intricate detailing are designed to convey the permanence and significance of the state's governance.
The true visual magic of the Secretariat unfolds as the day transitions. Seen during the quiet hours of early morning, or more dramatically at dusk, the complex transforms. When the internal and external lights illuminate the vast façade, and the evening sky over Hussain Sagar shifts through hues of violet, rose, and deep indigo, the complex ceases to look like a mere government office. Instead, it appears as a truly luminous, modern palace.
This visual transformation perfectly captures the essence of Hyderabad itself: a city that effortlessly maintains a balance between its magnificent, royal past and its dynamic, forward-looking identity as a fast-growing, contemporary global metropolis. The Secretariat stands as a brilliant architectural statement, symbolizing Telangana’s proud history and its ambitious future.

After the revelry and excitement of a New Year's Eve night out, there is arguably no better choice than to spend the following day in serene relaxation. Our Clickstar found the perfect prescription to begin 2026: a tranquil day on the beach. Sun, the soft caress of sand, and a refreshing coconut in hand - it’s the ideal way to ease into the new year. Happy New Year!
This picture-perfect scene is set in Xangri-Lá, a charming, small seaside town nestled on the northern coast of Rio Grande do Sul. It forms a key part of the long, straight stretch of shoreline known locally as the "litoral gaúcho," which runs elegantly along the South Atlantic Ocean.
The beaches here, including the main Praia de Xangri-Lá and the trendier Atlântida, are celebrated for their distinctive features. They boast wide, inviting bands of compact sand that stretch far out to the water, meeting the ocean with steady, rhythmic waves. These long, open horizons are not just beautiful vistas; they are vital arteries of summer life, often seeing people walking, jogging, cycling, and even driving along the shore - a hallmark activity during the southern summer months.
The peak summer months, especially December and January, bring a vibrant change to this quiet coast. During this time, families from the bustling capital of Porto Alegre and the cooler, inland Serra region embark on their annual migration to the sea, seeking refuge from the intense inland heat.
Xangri-Lá transforms into a lively summer community. Beach houses fill up, simple beach kiosks buzz with activity, and night spots become centers of social gathering. The afternoons here are a slow, luxurious affair, often stretching into the late-light of the long summer evenings. This is the time for cherished Brazilian beach rituals: long sessions of chimarrão (a traditional mate infusion), ice-cold beer, and the ever-present fresh coconut water, enjoyed under the shade of brightly colored umbrellas, much like the one featured in our Clickstar's photo.
For the residents of Rio Grande do Sul, this specific stretch of coastline is deeply intertwined with powerful summer memories. It is the setting for the dramatic display of New Year’s fireworks that light up the Atlantic sky, the backdrop for budding summer romances, and, inevitably, the site of the season's first, eagerly anticipated sunburn.
A picture capturing this exact moment - our Clickstar relaxing on the sand with a coconut and the vast ocean before the lense - fits the coastal narrative perfectly. It evokes a feeling of slow, unhurried days, the comforting warmth of the sand, and the deeply cathartic sensation of rinsing the old year away, cleansing the spirit and mind in the endless, salty expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. It is, in essence, the perfect beginning to a fresh year.

As the whirlwind of the Christmas and New Year period finally settles, there's a profound sense of relief and a desire for quiet celebration. Closing out these hectic weeks with a well-deserved visit to a local Christmas market - amidst the scent of mulled wine and roasted almonds - is the perfect, gentle transition into the new year, shared with cherished family and friends. This annual ritual is not just about the merriment; it’s a moment of reflection and a chance to truly appreciate the quiet beauty that follows the holiday rush.
The accompanying photograph offers a glimpse into a December evening in one of Spain's most historically significant spaces: Praza do Obradoiro, the magnificent stone square at the spiritual and geographic heart of Santiago de Compostela. This is hallowed ground for countless travelers, as it marks the traditional terminus of the Camino de Santiago, the ancient network of pilgrim routes. Weary peregrinos from across the globe finally complete their journey here, gazing upon the majestic cathedral that houses the tomb of St. James.
The square is framed by architectural grandeur, most notably the towering, Baroque façade of the cathedral and, directly across, the Pazo de Raxoi. This imposing, 18th-century neoclassical palace is a masterpiece of symmetry and civic design. Its long, elegant structure closes the western side of the square and today serves a dual function, housing both the offices of the Santiago de Compostela City Council and a portion of the Galician regional government. On this crisp December night, the palace's powerful, illuminated lines provide a serene backdrop to the gathering crowd below.
While the Praza do Obradoiro is traditionally a place of arrival, quiet contemplation, and a final, often emotional, moment of solitude for the pilgrims, it undergoes a magical transformation during the Christmas season. It evolves from a significant, historical landmark into a kind of sprawling, open-air living room for the entire city of Santiago.
The festivities begin in earnest in late November, when the square is bathed in the warm glow of thousands of twinkling lights. A towering central Christmas tree is erected, accompanied by smaller, beautifully decorated firs that lend a festive aroma to the cold air. The atmosphere becomes instantly communal and vibrant. Families stroll leisurely, students gather after evening classes, and newly arrived pilgrims mingle with locals, all finding common ground under the brilliant decorations. The early winter evenings are filled with the sounds of the season: the harmonious voices of local choirs, the lively music of street performers, and the excited shrieks of children engaged in organized activities.
Locals hold a cherished belief about the square in December: they say that if you stand in Praza do Obradoiro for a considerable length of time, you will literally witness the world pass by. The flow of human life encompasses every demographic: from the determined, mud-splattered walkers finishing their millennia-old pilgrimage, eyes alight with achievement and exhaustion, to the neighbours who simply step out for a few moments to admire the festive illuminations. It is a time when the weight of the ancient stones and the ephemeral joy of the new festivities seem to share the exact same, slow, and powerful heartbeat, uniting history and the present moment in one luminous space.
We extend our sincere thanks to UAI for generously sharing this beautiful, evocative moment of convergence, capturing the enduring spirit of both pilgrimage and holiday warmth.

A towering central Christmas tree is erected, accompanied by smaller, beautifully decorated firs that lend a festive aroma to the cold air. The atmosphere becomes instantly communal and vibrant. Families stroll leisurely, students gather after evening classes, and newly arrived pilgrims mingle with locals, all finding common ground under the brilliant decorations. The early winter evenings are filled with the sounds of the season: the harmonious voices of local choirs, the lively music of street performers, and the excited shrieks of children engaged in organized activities.
Locals hold a cherished belief about the square in December: they say that if you stand in Praza do Obradoiro for a considerable length of time, you will literally witness the world pass by. The flow of human life encompasses every demographic: from the determined, mud-splattered walkers finishing their millennia-old pilgrimage, eyes alight with achievement and exhaustion, to the neighbours who simply step out for a few moments to admire the festive illuminations. It is a time when the weight of the ancient stones and the ephemeral joy of the new festivities seem to share the exact same, slow, and powerful heartbeat, uniting history and the present moment in one luminous space.
We extend our sincere thanks to UAI for generously sharing this beautiful, evocative moment of convergence, capturing the enduring spirit of both pilgrimage and holiday warmth.
