Beer Goggled!


There are certain things that end up making you the subject of ridicule when you attempt to photograph them. This is one of them. The first time I spotted the cool blue aura around the stacked bottles, I wasn’t carrying my camera. The second time, I was carrying my camera, but the beers were missing. Well, I went out and bought them.

Serenity


I had been to Bylakuppe in Coorg at least five times before this one. And each time I stepped into the monastery, a sense of calm had descended on me. This time was no different. To say the three giant golden figures overwhelmed me every time I saw them would be a gross understatement. I haven’t been able to explain the phenomenon till date, but it sure does feel good. After staying hypnotised for at least 7 seconds, I regained my composure to capture this one.

Sanchi - A lesson for every fussy kid

I have never been a huge fan of little kids. But I guess my camera does not exactly share my dislike. An absolute anti-thesis of everything I dislike about kids, Sanchi left me with little choice but to adore her. By the end of the session, I was spoilt for choice with the number of snaps she left me with. But with great difficulty, and I mean it, I chose this one.

The face that stopped a hundred cars...


Well maybe not 100, but enough to interrupt our ride to Ooty by a good 30 minutes. I had missed out on shots of our national bird on a couple of previous occasions. This time, I wouldn’t let it pass me by. As we reached Mudumalai, a peacock infested area, I made my friend stop the car. And this beauty decided to give me a glimpse or two.
