Changing Tastes !

Richest Is The Man Whose Pleasures Are Cheapest 
Off late it seems that my interests are behaving like a river changing its course and thus becoming unpredictable. 

Maintaining a diary to note down quotes, cutting cartoons from newspaper and pasting them in a book, writing on important social and economic happenings to now clicking anything which beholds my attention, seems I am graduating with each passing day. 

A picture is an amazing thing. It enables you to travel to past time. If not fabricated, it is an unbiased account of what has happened and require you to reconstruct the sequence and think in all directions. Pictures like monuments and paintings is one of the right and correct way to look into history.

Not only this, clicking is a greater teacher in itself. It make you learn to wait for the right moment to strike (read click). It makes you realize you that for getting a perfect shot you may have to click many times emphasizing on being persistent and last but not least it makes you understand that even finest things require polishing (finest pictures getting edited for publishing).

About The Picture Above: Lalbagh, Bangalore, INDIA on 15/Sept/2013.

In focus in an elderly man taking a power nap.Oblivious of the world he is at ease with him self. It had rained previous day and atmosphere was humid but cool breeze around the tree was enough for him to select this rocky bench to rest.

God's Gate Keeper

   In Frame : Rani. Do we need to say who she is ? Rani is the elephant at Manarkul Vinayagar Temple at Pondicherry (Pondy) whom one can see the entrance of the temple. She has been trained to shower blessings on devotees who offer her money and eatables especially banana. On festivals she is beautifully decorated with colorful usually red and golden yellow robes and cloth sheets and carries the idols of Lord Ganesha along with the religious processions which passes through prominent streets of Pondy notable among them is JN Sreat and MG Road. Clicked in Aug 2008 at Manarkul Temple, Pondy during my first visit to the temple.

Tin Tin Tin ....................................

In Frame: A bell at the entrance of an inn at Har Ki Pauri - Haridwar While on the way to 'Har To Pauri' the sound of this bell made to take a notice of it. There is a famous saying in Hindi - " shankh ghant baje kal kant dur bhage" which means sounds of conch and bell drives away bad and difficult times. The street on its way to Har ki Pauri, is full of charitable inns and this bell is on the front door of one such inn. On its face its the sign of 'OM' and very fine drawings and a chain to ring it. It has been hanged exactly in way that it occupies the centre space on the face of entrace door. This bell face the east direction and on morning sun rays really adds an alluring charm togther with the sound of its ring. This picture was taken after diwali of 2009 when I visited Haridwar with my mother.
