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!

Sharpening Your Skills
This is a frequent sight around roadside stalls, as cooks get their knives sharpened. this is nothing but a gear that works in tandem with the bike chain so it’s quite a simple mechanism really. I’m sorry I couldn’t get a clearer shot, but you can get a general drift of things. I find it…
Santa Doremon?
OK, So Christmas is just at the end of day break, and Santa Clause will come soon. But this Santa Doremon was flying high to catch my attention quite well. I love that cat from the future, and I sure hope he comes home for a cup of tea and parts some of his wisdom, and…
To You I Belong
OK, if this is a wrong picture for the festive season, please accept my heartfelt apologies. I fell in love with the picture really, that I clicked at the insistence of a friend. There is something painful yet soothing about the entire scene. I haven’t really understood why a rosary needs to have a cross….
Play It Large
Crystal clear has always made me wonder, how clear can a crystal get? Well, like I realized, it remains clear till there is an obstruction. Had the dice not been sporting 6 printed faces, the picture would’ve been much clearer. Much like our clouded state of mind, don’t you think?

I remember picking up small plastic decorations for a shimmering little fake Christmas tree. In fact it was a practice to add at least one new…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Waiting
When the year ends, a new hope comes by. Growing up in a convent school, we always used to look forward to the Christmas Party. We could wear our best dresses and got ice cream to eat during class hours! And then we’d sneak into the school chapel to see the crib. As I wish…
Meter Down
Auto rickshaws are integral part of the suburban Mumbai landscape. I have met several rickshaw drivers, while some are downright rude and unsympathetic, most of the ones I have dealt with are nice and realize that you need to journey on through the crowded public transportation system in the city. So I think its time…
Meet Rocky!
By now, it is quite a well established fact that I love both toys and animals. So when I got a gift that offers the best of both worlds, I was ecstatic. Rocky is a cute little stuffed toy that looks as real as it gets He brings out he Calvin in me, if you know what I mean.Although…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Hidden
OK, you can’t really call this hidden, just a smart way to camouflage what it is, or present something it wasn’t meant to be. In most Indian banquets you will spot such vegetable based decorations, which I find fascinating, though I haven’t tried making any myself yet. How about you?
