Those were the days

Though the picture was taken only recently (from my 7th floor apartment), it brings back the memories of those days when union strikes were commonplace and workers would nonchalantly play cards outside the factory gate.

On the waterfront

This one's a view straight out of Nicholas Sparks' romantic novel! This photo has been taken from the deck of Estuary Island Resort near Kovalam in Kerala. The resort derives its name from the fact that it is located on a private island close to the confluence point of Arabian sea, a lake and a river. The resort, which has excellent amenities, is a must visit for the romantically inclined.

Men at work

Men working in an under-construction building - shot taken from the confines of my room. The glow of the incandescent bulb, dark surroundings and human silhouettes make for an interesting abstract picture.

Would u hire him?

This room (open door) is where we were staying on a recent religious trip. When we returned, post a sumptuous lunch, we found the floor guard in deep slumber...not even the yellings of the manager would stir him!

Panchayat members in a huddle

Members of the local Panchayat (local governance system) have gone into a huddle....jury is still out...decision appears imminent!

Bird in hand

Always wanted to capture birds...am no bird freak...but they have interesting features & great colours...making a modest beginning with an Oriental Magpie Robin!

Beacon

The light bulb captured through the mesh on the ventilation, with complete darkness outside, makes for an interesting abstract photo.

The morning train

Early morning (6 AM) shot of the Vikram Garh Alot station in Madhya Pradesh.

Fire

Fires against a dark backdrop make for interesting pictures. Here along with dried Ashoka leaves, the picture appears almost perfect.

Infinity

Yellow painted walls of this dharamshala (religious rest place) appear to converge in infinity thereby making an interesting abstract photo.
