[Photo-Blog]~The Moon Gaze :)
[Photo-Blog]~Of a Mare and Multiplicity!!! :)
I’ve been short of words off late. Call it the lack of time, the busy at work or the simply plain-n-lazy – I haven’t been able to write and publish a single post here for like over a month now. So here I am posting two pics, just to feel satisfied that my blog isn’t all that dormant!! 🙂
Pic #1: This shot of a horse mare was clicked at Rameswaram, South Tamil Nadu.
Pic #2: Tried this photography technique called ‘Multiplicity’. It required a lot of patience though, for both the model in Su and the photographer in me!! 😀
[Green-o-Con][Week2]~Greenery abhi baaki hey mere dost! ;)
Hope you enjoyed my Week-1 entry (link: HERE) to the Green-o-Con(test).
The theme for Week-2 Green-o-Con is a “Photo-blog with a Green theme and Filmy Captions”!! 🙂
Note: The number 7 is legendary among the Konkanis (don’t ask why!! 😛 ) and hence this entry of mine has 7 photographs preceded by their respective filmy captions.
PS1: Special thanks to my better half for her show-stopper role! 😉
PS2: Click on picture to see an enlarged version. 🙂
Hara…err…Here we go:
“Ek aadmi $aala jungle ko banjar banaa deta hai…”
“I talk green, I walk green, I drink green…green hi green!”
“Gali gali mein shor hey, hariyali pe zor hey!”
“Greenariya haa haaaa,
Greenariya haa haa haa,
Greenariya
hooo Greenariya”
“Mera jeevan, hara kaagaz!”
“Kal-Aaj-aur-Kal”
“Woh chali, Woh chali,
Hariyali re chali,
usse roko toh koi,
Hariyali chali”
Well…that ends the post. Do let me know how you liked it, with your comments!!

In the Independence day spirits! :)
Last year, I went to Hyderabad on Independence day…this time it was destination Ooty/Coimbatore!! 🙂 Will share the trip pics later….but here are a few shots…clicked…in the Independence day spirit!! 🙂
The Vegetable Tricolor
The flag designers (Anu and Roh) and I just made them click me! 😉
On the way from Ooty to Coimbatore…inside the (very) narrow gauge train…
India….A very Happy 63rd Independence day! 🙂
Photo Walk @ the Marina Beach, Chennai! :)
I did something for the first time today, and felt good about it. 😀
“What are you doing here man, at this hour?” I asked my roommate, as he stood right next to where I was sleeping. (psst…I am not afraid of ghost, so wasn’t startled.)
The time was 3:45am today morning.
“Are you coming for a walk? I’m not feeling sleepy” he said as put his shirt on.
“Hell no..I’ve to wake up anyways at 4:30…you carry on” I said and shoo-ed him away.
But then, I just couldn’t get back to sleep. So I got up, took bath and was on my way to the Marina beach – by 5am.
I was going to attend my first photo walk. Armed with my Canon XIUS 80 (it’s a point n shoot…a basic camera…n for an update, recently its LCD display had a cross sectional crack too…) I reached the venue – Gandhi statue at the Marina Beach, Chennai – much earlier than any of the other folks did. For starters, this photo walk by initiated by my company’s photography community. Some of the pics I took, can be found below 🙂
We walked for about 90 mins before the heat (April is hotter and May is hottest in Chennai, rest of the months its hot 😛 ) started taking its toll on us. We reached back to the starting point, onboard a MTC (its a high class local bus, and am not kidding) to collect our parked vehicles. Overall it was fun…do try for sure, if you get a chance anytime! 🙂
This was shot at around 5:45am…when the sun was just about to awake the world this side.
The Gandhi Statue – in close up – with crows sitting (and doing what not) on it!!
The first rays reaching out to us…
The setting up for a close-in shot! 🙂
The boats come back to the shore at sunrise, after a late night or an early morning round of fishing!! 🙂
Listening to music, watching the sun rise…
A group of athletes at their warm-ups…
The patrolling cops on their horses…
This puppy was cute..readily gave poses to our cameras! 🙂
Some of us, walking the talk…in between the shots! 🙂
This was the scene at 8am…it seemed like 12 noon, with the sun almost right above our head and radiating hot waves!
We departed after a round of breakfast…and I was back home by 9 30am! 🙂 Loved the experience! 🙂
[Photo-Blog]~Love: Dawg-ie style!! ;)
The days were numbered. The contest was coming to an end. The mind had some ideas but since the search for models (male and female – human, of course) proved unsuccessful, I decided it was high time for some click-flick-bang-bang action with whatever I could lay my hands on. 😉
This was my entry to February 2010 Contest – Love – conducted by the Photography community at my office (on the internal blogs)!! – The title of the post was different and decent though!! 😛
Love is always not lovey-dovey…There are various stages a couple goes through….I’ve titled the pics, based on the stages which I could picturize with the pics I took!!
It is the pictures that I clicked first, and then thought about the different stages. So no confusion as to which came first (chicken or egg, likes! 😉 ). 😛
Consider that the guy in this story is a friend of mine. Lets say his name is Dalapathi Wanchuk Gunnu (in short and with love, DAWG) and this is his story!!! 😛
1. Attraction: Dawg sees a gal (as usual 😛 ) standing close by…his eyes zoom in as she slowly zooms out of sight…he taps my shoulders, says he’s attracted to her…even makes the mistake of calling it love-at-first-sight. What the, sight!!
2. Interaction: Being kind enough, say I introduce her to Dawg. Dawg wanting some quality time to interact with her, signals me to get lost. I silently leave the place wondering (read: cursing 😛 ), if Dawg would have been a better policeman rather than an IT professional.
3. Seduction: Dawg seems to be a changed man nowadays. He wears the best of clothes, tucks his shirt, polishes his shoes and even gels his hair. Surprising of them all – not only does he apply (loads of) deodarant, but he takes a daily bath too. He only talks about her with me. She is like this, like that…she likes this, that…et al…I remember reading somewhere that “Barking Dawgs, Seldom Bite”…whatever it is, Dawg is a changed person.
4. Affection/Action: Dawg doesn’t tell me about what all happened in this stage. He’s such a Dawg. Hmmph!!
(Lap-top? 😉 )
Disclaimer: No Dawg’s were ridiculed or killed during the making of this post. Only a juicy tomato was sacrificed! 😉
