An old memory, Tinkle surely would’ve been a fond reminder of a happy childhood for many Indian kids my age. And to this day, I love the comic! In fact such was the fanaticism of this publication in my household that my dad diligently collected and preserved hordes of the magazine to bind them into two sets of collectibles….
Music Mania
You cannot go to Rajasthan and come back unmoved after getting a taste of the local Folk art. Jodhpur is considered as an integral part of Indian Folk Music, and the place lived up to its reputation. While we’ve been quite exposed to such art through films and television, seeing the musicians live, and more importantly enjoying and appreciation their own art is…
Healthy Living
I may not be the fittest person around, heck eating right is not something I force myself to do anyway. But I do enjoy raw veggies to munch on, especially carrots. What eggs me on to eat them are their vivid hues. Wouldn’t you want to pick these up if I place them in front of you?
Chess Mate
I enjoy some fun mind games, be it a game of chess. I may not be the best player around, (so if you want an easy win, you know whom to call), I am still fascinated by the games and its pieces. On a stroll at Bandra’s Carter Road, you can see tables close to…
Tell Me What You Desire!
Last year, I had the luck to enjoy Ganesh Charthuthi at Pune. Around the famed Dagadu Shet pandal you’d find several other interesting Ganesh idols, and this fixture was a part of one of them. (May be my fellow blogger ThoughtsUnrestricted can remind me which one). One fascinating part of this particular pandal is the…
Paying Respect To The Dead
We “discovered” Bada Bagh (Barabagh, meaning Big Garden) when on our Jaisalmer trip, when we where heading over to the Sam Sand Dunes back from Thanot. Its halfway between Jaisalmer and Lodhruva, the latter being a Jain pilgrim spot. The “garden” houses royal cenotaphs (colloquially called as chhatris) of the Maharajas of Jaisalmer, beginning with…
A New Year With A New Promise
It has been so long that I have shared my pictures on the space which I consider close to my heart. And then I read a post that helped me stare the stark reality of my virtual existence: Something that a lot of my peers have been suggesting for the past few months. And then…
Up In The Air!
I’ve always loved helium balloons in large bunches. Long before I managed to catch the movie Up I’d often wish how many balloons I’d need to take a free world cruise.
Monsoon Magic!
OK, as you’d have already noticed, I haven’t been writing a lot here lately. But that doesn’t mean I’ve been lying low. The shutter bug in me has been very much active, and here is a small collection of the monsoons that I clicked over the last two years. It includes foods, monuments, and everyday…
A Flight Of Dreams
Life as a child is full of hopes and dreams. It’s that time of one’s life where you know what you want to be when you grow up, but don’t have to worry about how to get there. This shot comes from a local fair, one of the rides that make you “fly”. It reminds…
