Weekly Photo Challenge: Tiny 2

Well, she isn’t as tiny as she used to be, but she isn’t all grown up as of yet either.  We call her Milli and she lives just where my husband works, so she helps me kill time as I wait on him. (Now, he joins me for the fun, so I love her more.)…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Tiny

Although, it isn’t the prettiest thing in my collection, but it sure is the tiniest! I got it off the desk of a co-worker on a working Saturday. You can gauge its size considering that it has its base rested on the open end of a standard pencil-sharpener!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Red 4

If you are still wondering about the wind chime I posted for last week’s photo challenge, here is a closer look. And with that I end a very red week on my blog space too!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Red 3

The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, or shoe-flower as we popularly call it here, is a beautiful  evergreen flower. It is often offered along with prayers in a temple, generally to Lord Ganesha. The name shoe-flower thus is reminiscent of its purpose, to be placed at the feet of God.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Red 2

When the cars whiz past you, everything comes to a stand still on the traffic signal. But when the little red guy appears, its time for the pedestrians to stand at the curb and see the cars zoom past. Alas, the challenge for the week is red, not green, or I would’ve had a crisper image!

 I love a good read, and after using up all my other red inspirations, I decided to look for some ‘red’ literature. I am no communist, but one thing I did notice was most of the red, marron pink colored books, all dealt with either love, or crime. I guess we all thrive on extremism!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wildlife 3

Our first trip as man and wife was quite successful for many reasons. And one of them was the natural bliss that I hadn’t experienced as city dweller. I captured these horses grazing at a luscious green hill-side en-route the snow-clad Rohtang pass, which opens for public only for a short duration between June to October every year.

We got to see this beautiful Himalayan Bear at the Nainital Zoo, which is one of the high altitude zoo’s in the world. What I like best about the zoo is how they have clubbed CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) with conservation of wild life: Major corporate houses take responsibility to take care of the food and health of the animals. Cruelty with a heart?…

I know that the picture is blurred, but that’s what happens when you use zoom on a point-and-shoot camera. But that should not take away from the fact that we experienced a close sighting for a full grown Royal Bengal Tiger at the Ranthambore Sanctuary at Sawai Mansingh, Rajashtan, close to Jaipur. I love this…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Round 2

There doesn’t seem to be a lot of craze for playing marbles any more. I remember collecting (rather stealing it off my brother) beautiful marbles with stunning hues and patterns. After a lot of hunting, I found enough, although I must admit, I haven’t found what I’ve  been looking for!
