Lonesome cloud amidst a storm
Black clouds marched to block the sunlight, soon all that could be seen was just a yellow streak of the evening sun on some clouds. I wondered if Hiroshima was like this when the evil day struck. Clicked this snap quickly mins before the torrential downpour of rain blinded this view, and yeah its pseudo HDR
Solitary bird in the sky
The conditions of a solitary bird are five:
- The first, that it flies to the highest point;
- The second, that it does not suffer for company, not even of its own kind;
- The third, that it aims its beak to the skies;
- The fourth, that it does not have a definite color;
- The fifth, that it sings very softly.

Clicked this snap during the monsoons in 2009, loved the painting effect this snap gives with a solitary bird flying high.
Count the lamp-posts on the highway
Yeah yeah.. I admit the title is copied from the line “Count the headlights on the highway” in Elton Johns song “Tiny Dancer“. I first heard the song in the movie “Almost Famous”. Not only was the movie outstanding, but the moment wherein this song was played, was captured beautifully. It has since been one of my favorite movies, and one of my favorite songs.
This image is related to the image on ”Autobiography of a lamp-post and the fart“, as both are from the same spot but opposite directions.
What I like about this snap (other then the clouds), is the way the numerous lamp-posts make a lovely silhouette. The bird, right on top, adds a nice flavor too.
Count the lamp posts on the highway
At school, we were once asked to write an autobiography of a lamppost for Hindi exam, I put on my thinking cap and started something like,
“I want to reach for the sky, but have to withhold my desires to give light to others”.
I thought it was a brilliant masterpiece, half expecting my Hindi professor to come to me and pat me on my back. Unfortunately nothing of that sort happened, what did happen was that I almost missed failing. I decided that my talent could not be discovered in this small school, and was still proud of my work, perhaps I thought

Presence of God
On the many discussions we usually have among groups of friends, God, religion, faith do come up at times, and I was once told that God shows his presence in Nature, and Nature is God. I kept quiet not knowing what to answer. I am not sure if I should believe or not believe in His existence, but do realise that beliving in Him is a safer bet, at least at the time when I reach the gates of Heaven or Hell

Onset of a storm
On the way to office I saw this. Luckily I had my camera. It was like God Himself was telling me… go home son, not a good day to work. I was almost tempted.
