Silhouette

12 Sep 2009 | no comments »


2 of my friends were deeply engrossed playing fifa on my system. I was trying to get this image right, and clicked around 30-35 shots when finally I got it. I wanted to keep the darkness of the room and its contents intact, while showing the colorfulness of the curtains with the sunlight behind, and the screen alive and rich. This is the only silhouette snap I have ever tried, need to try more when i get a chance.

Love is in the air.

07 Sep 2009 | 3 comments »


3 hours before clicking this snap, I was trying to reason out with Neelam. It made no sense for me to be a ”kabab mein haddi”, but Neelam would not listen to my constant plea. Finally I gave up and agreed to go along with her. 3 hours later I am sitting here, with 2 people who dont know that a world exists outside this special zone they have created; and I am definately outside this, I was being ignored big time :)
I had never seen Neelam so happy, so excited, and so lost. She had not fallen in love, she had collapsed.

Dhanaulti – snow clad hill

07 Sep 2009 | 3 comments »


I had seen this before! In paintings, on postcards, and always imagined it to be an artists imaginary world. Dhanaulti is a pulchritudinous hill station just 60 kilometers from Dehradun (the place we were staying). Walking was really tough on the road, my sneakers not used to the thin ice sheet which had formed. I was a bit worried clicking this shot as I was at the edge stepped in snow, a small push would have sent me …. But it was worth capturing this.

Himalayas

06 Sep 2009 | 1 comment »


Is this Earth! We all seem to be asking. The first glimpse of the Himalayas at a curved road prompted all of us to step out of our vehicles to just enhale this sight. For some of us it was our first look at the “abode of snow” (Thats what it means). An almost similar sight being viewed by 6 countries (it spreads so far!) was an achievement of some kind by Nature.

House or a Lodge? Marshall House, Colaba

28 Apr 2009 | 6 comments »


As I guided the taxi guy to this place with the phone held tight to my ear and my eyes searching for my friend waving out on the road, I came across this huge rock solid 100 year old building. I saw my friend tumble out

Umbrella Window – Cafe Mondegar (Mondy)

28 Apr 2009 | no comments »


Cafe Mondegar (or Mondy as its more popularly known) is my favorite place in colaba to hang out with friends. It pumps energy in you right in the start as you have to yell to have a conversation with your friends, amidst the loud music being played by a jukebox (which is constantly used) and the halla bulla at all the other closely packed tables that somehow

This was at a friends sons party. I was requested to get my camera along, unfortunately, not feeling well, I had to leave soon. I clicked some shots of the place. The colors are a bit pastel shade, reminding me of… hmmm.

Towering Mumbai

18 Apr 2009 | no comments »


This was amoung the first set of snaps I clicked from my first camera. What was before a jungle was being transformed slowly. City-scapes were changing with time.. Bombay was not the same anymore.

I cannot decide what I like more: the soaring building with pimples of AC’s, or the almost fragile branch, showing its last signs of existance. I listen to one of my favorite songs of Pink Floyd everyday to and fro from office called “Wish you were here”. The fist part of the lyrics are below.

“So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?”

The snap cameout like a painting after a little touchup. This was at Jim Corbett early in the morning when the light was still dim.

We were sitting at the banks of a river at Morjim, when I clicked this. Colorful red and blue
