Can You Count The Number of Circles ?

In Frame: LED behind concentric circles mounted on a stand fixed on the wall About The Picture: Light from behind of mount of concentric circles creating illusion. This is something on the wall which I had observed and thought of clicking and finally I clicked ! Clicked  with Samsung Galaxy S5 on 27 / May /2014.

Faith

In Frame:  A makeshift temple ! About The Picture: Wooden shelf nailed on trunk of a tree. An umbrella tied on this wooden shelf and few idols and pictures of Hindu God and Goddess. What you see in the above picture is ' Faith' One day while in office cab I discovered the existence of this temple. Though I have been  regular on same route and hence this observation was a pleasant surprise for me.  After clicking this picture I had few words with a lady who sells earthen pots on roadside. She told me that its her family who has built this temple almost nine years back. Recently city municipality people had cut the branches of the tree and hence this temple is now so much visible.  Clicked on 25/ May /2014, Bannerghatta Road (in between Hulimau bus stand and BPL bus stand), Bangalore, INDIA.

Devil - Caught Between The Wheels

In Frame : 'Devil' About The Picture : Desperate to find a subject to click, I observed this truck parked on road side. The face of the devil made me click several shots before I zeroed on this picture ! One can notice face of devil sculpted on buildings, vehicles etc.,  to ward off negative vibes. 25 / May /2014, Bangalore, INDIA. Full screen view is recommended. .

Wheel of Fortune

In Frame: Tyre of a rickety bicycle. About The Picture:  This is the bicycle tyre which caught my attention to be the subject. This bicycle is not in use and has been kept aside at one corner of a big house. Clicked on 22 / May / 2014 at Hulimau, Bangalore, INDIA.

Wait

In Frame: An old woman, at her balcony watching the people on road. About The Picture:   Old age is like Pandora's box. It spring many challenges for an individual - health and feeling of loneliness especially. This lady seems to be killing evening time by watching people and vehicles moving on the busy road and this is something I had observed many times.

Walking With Shadow

In Frame : A Marwari shopkeeper on way his home to home for lunch.  About The Picture: I have seen this man in the picture very often in same dress walking down the road. He runs a vegetable shop. The other person on his shop is probably his son, I believe. His neat and white dress has often made me to think to click him. And on 15/May/2014 while waiting for cab to go to office I saw him coming and I just switched on the camera of my HTC One X. I was able to click him thrice and the above shot I liked most.

Before Motion - Its rest

In Frame:  An old ceiling fan.  About The Picture: "It is not eye catching enough to be subject matter of the shot", were the words of the shopkeeper where I was getting documents scanned. " I think it is." and I shot this picture with my mobile phone HTC One X.  This rickety ceiling fan having dust over it reminds of its ilk at government offices ! I am not sure how many summers it has lived on but I do hope it sees many more summers - moving and bringing relief ! Date of click - 12/ May /2014

Wild Bush

In Frame: Wild bush flowing in free air ! About The Picture: Nothing to say expect that I clicked this on 9 / May/2014 at Embassy Tech Park, Bangalore, INDIA

Buddha - The Enlightened One

In Frame:   Statue of Buddha. About The Picture :   Buddha - the enlightened one. One of many statues on stall at Basavangudi, Bangalore, INDIA, on the occasion of Kadalekai Parishe. *Kadlekai Parishe has a history of over 500 years and according to the legend a bull — believed to be an incarnation of Shiva’s vehicle Nandi — kept destroying the groundnut crop at Hosakerehalli, Gavipura, Guttahalli, Sunkenahalli and Mavalli. Farmers in the area offered their harvest to appease the bull and thus the fair started on the last Monday of the month of Karthika. In 1537, Magadi Kempegowda built the bull temple after which the road is named. Clicked on 1/Dec/2013. * Source: The Hindu (2/Dec/2013)
