SugarCane Juice

On a really hot summer day while travelling from Pune to Shirdi, we took a detour to visit the sacred place of Shani Shinganapur (known for the trust that people have in others and the place that there are no doors/windows to any homes). We stopped on the state highway to have some fresh Sugarcane juice which was made by a cow walking around this instrument which crushed the cane to get the juice out. I couldn't help but capture this shot of.

A Red Bicycle

This was taken at one of the canals in Amsterdam - This place confused the hell out of me about what to click and what not to. There are cycles parked everywhere, there are canals everywhere and the buildings have the typical architecture as the one you see in this one. I walked around like mad to find a bike in a colour other than Black. What this pic misses however is a bridge which is so characteristic of the city. Well! I decided I could not have it all - what I like here is the bright bike with the buildings in the background.

Bettada Hoovu (Flowers on a Hill)

A scenic place does not require great skills to be captured. This was taken at Lake District, England from a random hill overlooking Lake Windermere. I liked to highlight these little flowers which are actualy weeds and then take the scenary as a background.

Taxi!

Taxi is so sexy, was what Amitabh said in Cheeni Kum. When I call a taxi it's two things that come to my mind - a comfortable ride and a hole in the pocket. My heart starts beating faster as I see the meter tick in a taxi. Well.... I liked this shot of the taxi at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris in heavy traffic - a typical weekday evening.

Charlie Chaplin

Loads of people entertain others on the streets, in markets and other public places to make a living. Some are so talented and it always crosses my mind that they perhaps never came across an opportunity to make it big. This artist was enacting Charlie Chaplin and did a brilliant job of it. This pic was shot at Covent Garden Market in London.
*Clicked from the phone, resolution isn't great.

A Parisian Coffee Shop

 Coffee....I can confirm that this won't be the only pic on this blog to show my addiction to Coffee. I love Coffee Shops and I also enjoy people watching. This was clicked at a small Coffee Shop near Notre Dame in the Latin Quarter of Paris.

Sunrise from a Ballon

This was captured from our hot air baloon over the Masai Mara in Kenya. We were up in the air to witness all the stages of the sunrise from darkness to complete light,  a beautiful experience, one of the most serene moments.  I liked this one the best as it looks like the baloon is making its journey towards the sun.
