Commuting Locally

Local trains are the nerve center of the city. It takes millions of people through the entire island city in considerably no time at all! I commute western railway everyday for a good 11 years now (I have been on Harbour line and Central trains but not very often), I have been a regular in…

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…

Apples for a Week!

If an apple a day keeps a doctor away, I guess I am all sorted for four days in a row now. So I guess,  I can survive for half a week without any illnesses… hopefully!

Well Fed!

Tho other two couples are my parents, and my brother and his beautiful wife. The big family picture is that of my in-laws. Needless to say, I love each of them in my own…

Thanks to fairy tales, most of us tend to like swans as compared to ducks. But its only when you see them together that you realize that the bias isn’t unjustified, swans do looks prettier than ducks. May be it is they pristine color, or gaiety movement, they do make for a pretty picture!

Is It Too Cold?

What I love best about animal shots is when they get camera-shy. They also give you the most precious and candid moments. I know, I know you have seen this little ducky before on my blog, but I could resist putting this picture up. I captured this shot just seconds before he jumped into the…

Goddess Annapoorna is said to be the Goddess of Food. She bestows us with good, clean and palatable food, and we can never thank her enough for that. If you observe closely, she holds a ladle in her hand to treat you to sumptuous food!
