Happy New Year

Procrastination, it seems, has become my New Year Resolution for 2012. I'm running a little late already this year because I went on a vacation to usher in the New Year.

I began the year on a great note by visiting my best friend, Kanchan and her husband Kshiteej, in Pune. Fell in love with the city. I had so much fun with friends that I forgot to take my camera out for most part of the trip. Kanchan and Tanmay (a new friend I made on the trip) were kind enough to take me to Khadakwasla (a dam) to take some pictures and exercise my shutter as the sun set on one of the first evenings of the year.


We reached the dam just a few minutes before the sun went down. The big banyan tree looked beautiful with its roots reaching the water.


I really enjoyed going shutter crazy as the sun played peek-a-boo from behind the branches of the trees.

And like everywhere else in the world, couples shared some sweet moments on the banks of the lake.

The sun exhibited all its glory in its dying moments.


With the sun setting, the banyan tree once again stole my heart in the golden glow.


The stars also came out to play as Tanmay encouraged me to play a little more with my camera and its settings.

The silhouettes of the hills in the aftermath of the sunset ensured that I fell a little more in love with the city.

The exercise with the camera made us hungry and we feasted on some well roasted corncob.

The corncob being roasted on coal lured me into taking some shots of the brilliant firework.


I hope this year is filled with beautiful sunsets for all of you. I promise to better my frequency of posting blogs and visiting other blogs and posting comments.

Last Batch of 2011 Photographs: Landscapes of Bharatpur

A very Happy New Year to everyone. I had gone to Pune for a week-long vacation just as 2011 breathed its last. Since I'm still left with the last batch of photographs from Bharatpur, I decided to show them to you before I begin 2012 on my blog. Hope you all enjoyed welcoming the New Year. I certainly did. More about my trip to Pune in the next post. Here are some photographs of the landscape I took in Bharatpur.

Volcanic Sunset

My mother's surgery was successful. Thanks once again for all your prayers. Unfortunately, I did not get much time with my camera when I was in Jaipur. Maybe next time I'll be able to bring some clicks for you from the Pink City.

Here are two of my favourite photographs from my trip to Mussoorrie.

Blushing at Sunset-Krishi Bhawan

I like the way the setting sun makes Krishi Bhawan blush into tones of pink while the sky enjoys being blue.

Fire Ball

The sun was at its magnificent best just minutes before it set behind the Raisina Hills a few days ago.

Valley of Dreams

I am sure that this place--the valley between these trees--where colourful dreams are made. Every evening, the dream weavers choose the choicest of colours and create masterpieces. It is up to us to make the dream come true or just enjoy the break the dream gives us from the grind of life.

The fact is that with Delhi skies turning beautiful in the evening are a clear signal that October is round the corner, bringing with it the romance of autumn :-)

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”

The colour yesterday was grey bordering on pitch black. There was finally some rain... but I am hoping for more. Send the rains To Delhi, if its pouring at your place. Please. :-)
