Saifullah, it is indeed a reflection. What is seen in the droplet is the part of the station behind me, it is confirmed by the sun shade visible in the droplet, consistent with what we saw @ the station

Many Thanks to Sachin Buddhisagar who taught me how to use the camera settings to get this kind of image, and of course, Lady Luck provided the droplet ;)

The Hindi sign is ambigious. I suppose it was intended to match the Malayalam Cherthala. Anyway, since 2006 many of the English names in station signboards in Kerala have been modified to match the Malayalam names.

Interesting picture with a fitting caption. It is certainly not a "reflection of the Shindawane Station"; rather it is a view of Shindawane Station through a convex lens shaped from a water drop (it would have been a "reflection" if it was a mirror). Since the focal length of this lens is very small, it is the reason why you see an inverted image with a distortion at the edges of the lens of the objects behind it.

Woa! what a shot ! Certainly proves that one need to have brains and not equipement (first).
