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.

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.

Clicked in Aug 2008 at Manarkul Temple, Pondy during my first visit to the temple.
