My aunty turned 75 last week, and she’s the first that I know in the Family who achieved this milestone. She a mother figure to all the kids (I kinda end the generation on both my parent’s sides of the family), and she is a zesty female, who actually looks forward to each day of…

A Glimmer of Hope
When you’re close to tears remember Some day it’ll all be over One day we’re gonna get so high And though it’s darker than December What’s ahead is a different colour One day we’re gonna get so high And at The end of the day remember the days When we were close to the edge…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Opportunity
While there are billions of people following Hinduism, it is not a religion per se, it is a doctrine of Dharmas, that suggest ways of living a righteous life. What that ideally translates to is that we have several Gods and goddesses whose stories help us make difficult choices. Hindus havent really seen god, (I mean,…
More Experiments…
This is my second attempt at HDR effects. This stunning chandler was at the St. Nicholas Church at Old Town Square, Prague. While many say that skies are best suited for such effects, I am trying them out with anything that has elements of lights. For now, these are the only two bracketed shots that…
Experiments or Distortions?
This is my first attempt at High Dynamic Range imaging (HDR) effects, so please go easy on me. Personally I like shooting in RAW and processing images later is, one indulgence I enjoy thoroughly. However, I am not game to have too many effects on the photo, as it seems unreal. But I am happy…

Being the second largest democracy in the world basically means that we have enough political parties to pick and choose from, and none of them emerge as clear favorites. But hordes of crowds means free publicity and a…

This is at the foot of the oldest statue on the bridge, that of St. John of Nepomuk. History says that the Saint was thrown off the bridge in 1393 where he drowned and his loyal…

I am a bit curious to find the origins and reasons to have stained glass windows in churches. This window belongs to the St. Nicholas Church, at the Old Town Square…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Comfort
This is a door handle at the St. Nicholas Church, at the Old Town Square, at Prague, Czech Republic. This past month has been a bit rough on me and has managed to make me more resolute as a human being. It made me re-evaluate my choices and understand people’s perceptions and insinuations. The post…
Music For the Soul
This beautiful organ which is out of public bounds now sits on level one of the St. Nicholas church at Old Town. The church was designed by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, and was ready in 1735. The chapel is believed to draw its influence by the chapel of St. Louis-des-invalides in Paris. This pipe organ in…
