My grandmother (that is, my mother’s mother) was apparently obsessed with her feet. She’d often wash them and take extra efforts to pamper them. While I wouldn’t really go that extra mile, but yes I do agree that they are the most neglected part of our body and do the most important function of keeping up mobile while carrying…

Praha, Revisited
My brother gifted me a new prime lens, and I was trying to check the clarity and amount of details the images can produce. This particular fridge magnet is an embossed representation of the Charles bridge at Prague. The kit lens makes the image look flat, but with this one, the shot comes to life,…
How Fine Is Fine?
This is a tongue-in-cheek fridge magnet that my brother gifted to me after returning from Singapore for the first time. We live in a nation where very little rules are being followed, so this comes across as a cultural shock for many who migrate. However, since then his point of view has altered drastically. If…
Shiva’s Wrath
It is said that Shiva opens his third eye to burn Desire (Kāma) to ashes. However, this third eye also stands for enlighten and knowledge.

|| Om Ganeshaya Namaha ||
Let us ring in the New Year with some divine blessings. Lord Ganesha is said to be vignaharta, remover of obstacles. A five headed Ganesha idol is very rare to find, and I thought I’d share it with you too. Hope you have a blessed year ahead!
Silent Sundays: Shapes
For a full year, it’s been about my shots and my perspectives. So this year, I have decided, that every week, I’d put up a picture that would ask you, my dear visitor, to give me a perspective instead. And what better day to start than the first day of 2012! So feel free to…
