With the the highest beer consumption per capita in the world, Czech Republic and more specifically Prague is a beer wonderland. Sadly, I was a teetotaler when I visited the country first; but now I hope to savor the beautiful locally brewed delights some day again!

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,…
350 Posts: And We’re Done For 2011!
The year ends and this is the perfect time of the year to reminisce and thank each and every one of you, who made the year-long journey worthwhile. While I achieved a lot this year, everything seems to get summed up this collage of pictures, and this one beautiful song, dated to 1995. Here is hoping…
Wish You a Very Merry Christmas!
The last holiday of the year has finally arrived!I can’t believe (how relieved I am) that the year is over. As we count the year down, and celebrate to our heart’s content, let me take the opportunity to wish you, your family and all your loved ones a very colorful festive season!
Well Fed!
Strolling over the Charles Bridge, we spotted a beautifully lit restaurant at the side of the river. How cool would it be to actually enjoy a meal there? Well, I didn’t have to wait long, for the press event I went for had a beautiful dinner event planned out for us. What more could I…
Prague Castle

Of Courage, Valor and Sacrifices
After quite a while, I am all set to take you back to the oldest statue at the Charles Bridge in Prague, the statue of St. John of Nepomuk. While one side of the base shows his loyal dog, the other side depicts the confession of Queen Johanna and the saint’s death. The saint was…
Thatched Wonder!
I haven’t been to any other European city, so my point of reference is weak. But I have been told that such orange thatched roofs are quite a common sight to see across the continent. However, such roofs are rare to find in cities like Mumbai, where the humid climate doesn’t help at all. However,…
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…
Loyal Till The End!
On your stroll through the Charles Bridge, at Prague, Czech Republic, you would find tourists patting a pretty dog cast in gold. 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…
