The River Reclaims her Land and her Glory
More than normal rain in the Northern plains and the Himilaya’s means that the rivers are overflowing now. One of them is The Yamuna along whose banks Delhi is built. Over the past years Yamuna had been reduced to the state of a sewage distributary. And the government has spent thousands of crores to clean … Continue reading
A New Member Joins The Family
Before anyone raises any questions, I would like to clarify that the new member is inanimate. We had booked a car a month ago and it got delivered today. Hyundai i20 Sportz, Diesel engine. Pictures are worth more than words, therefore, uploading a few snaps of the same.
Colours of Twilight
These were taken during my recent trip to Punjab. The Amritsar-New Delhi Shatabdi was an hour late and during the journey the twilight sky looked beautiful over the fields of Punjab and Haryana. I tried to capture the natural colours of the of the sky. The constant vibration and jolts of the moving train made … Continue reading
Octa-Limbed
The spider was sitting on the tyre of my motorcycle, two days ago. It was a big one about 2 inches in body length and I am not counting the size of it’s legs. And that is why I stalked it for a while with my camera while it loooked for an escape route on … Continue reading

Funny Signboards
During my various trips, I have seen many signboards that cause a laughter attack on you. Like the one outside an eatery in Panipat that claimed to serve all types of veg and non-veg “snakes” along with various drinks. Such humourous boards can be seen everywhere across the country. My recent trip was no different … Continue reading
Tweeting in the Rain
Delhi woke up to light showers and a cool breeze today. It was a respite from the searing heat of the past few weeks. I captured a winged couple enjoying the weather sitting on the top branches of a 60 feet Eucalyptus.
Arachnida Araneae
This type of spider has been living in my room since we moved into this house. Maybe, it was it’s great great great great…..grand ancestors whom I first met, but my room is this families kingdom. It was sitting on my curtain and the sun was shining from behind. I went very close and used … Continue reading
Crowing About
I bought a new camera, Nikon P100 and have been having a lot of fun using it. Uploading a few snaps I took with it. The hero of this particular photo is a crow who came to a drinking bowl, had his fill and then picked up a twig, that would act as raw material … Continue reading
Road Sense
Clicked yesterday on Kasturbha Gandhi Marg, CP, Delhi. A number of cars(I could only get two in the snap) were parked in front of the signboard. Its high time we also start being responsible citizens and follow rules instead of blaming others.
Failed Attempt
Three days ago, in a park in front of my house. An Eagle was sitting majestically on a tall Eucalyptus Tree. Took out my mobile and climbed a nearby tree to get a snap, but the subject was sitting too high up. Thats the reason why I have decided to call this “Failed Attempt”
