A Light Love Story
In a world which exists near India Gate, New Delhi, little hearts live.
The humans, who always seem to be in a hurry, seldom notice these beautiful colourful hearts.
They dance to the music they create and only they can understand.
Sometime ago, two white hearts that shone brighter than any other, saw each other and it was love at first sight!
The male heart gave the female heart a big red heart shaped balloon.
They came closer and the other happy hearts became bigger with all the love in their hearts.
The love was great and so magnificient that the two white hearts it seemed became ONE!
And they lived happily ever after :-)
P.S: My first attempt at custom bokeh. Hope you all liked it. I had a great time learning the technique.

Karol Bagh
I could have come up with a more witty and artistic title for this post. But I think the title would have been a 1000 words long paragraph. Karol Bagh is a paradox. There is possibly everything that one might need in this market.
Shiny, brand new cars.
A sprawling market full of the best of brands
Clowns inviting you to the latest store of a fashion chain
Men selling cool lime water outside a store offering designer clothes for grooms
Box-shaped-cycle-pulled vehicles
An old, rusted scooter
Cameras
Lights
And many many more things that make this market a shopaholic's delight. So come shopping with me to Karol Bagh :-)

Durga Pooja: Pandal Hopping
I had been planning to do this for the last 3 years for Maya, a blog follower from the US. She had mailed me long ago asking me to visit C R Park and get her photos from there to refresh her memory of the place she grew. Somehow the plan never materialized until yesterday.
Thanks to being surrounded by some wonderful Bangalis I went pandal hopping to pray to the Goddess in her majestic best. Lopamudra was the official guide and she was generous enough to take me around the pandals in South Delhi. Others joined in later and we had a fantastic time. Some photographs from yesterday.
From right to left: Sangeeta, Meghna, Supriya, Lopamudra, Shweta
Huge pandals like this one were set up across C R Park and GK-II.
The detailing of the decorations was nothing short of brilliance. This artificial tree had everything, green leaves, bee hives, nests and birds.
The lighting inside the pandals was done very artistically and added to the pious atmosphere.
Goddess in her various majestic moods!
These special drums are called dhaks and are decorated with beautiful cloth pieces and faux feathers.
Dried coconut fibre is burnt in these earthen pots along with incense. Men and women dance to the tune of the dhaks holding these earthen pots. This dance is called Dhunuchi Naach.
This young boy danced and played the gong like instrument close to 40 minutes to accompany the dhaks.
There was a beautiful dance performance about the various tales associated with the Goddess.
The streets were lit with lights and children and a few adults (like my friends and I) indulged in the merriment by blowing soap bubbles.
There were other things for sale as well like candy floss etc.
That was the day I had. It was fantastic. I'm already waiting for next year and doing this again :-)
Happy Bijoy Dashmi everyone!
Will post a couple of videos tomorrow :-)

The streets were lined with numerous shops selling yummy snacks. I discovered Puchkas (a brother of the Delhi Gol Guppas) and fell in love

The Golden Treasure
This golden treasure evokes emotions in me that no amount of words can do justice to.
I was glad to see some more fans looking in awe at this magical structure.
Meanwhile, this soldier stood guarding the golden beauty, which the world knows as India Gate.

Let the Lights Play
Camera, a capable driver (my younger brother) on the wheels and lights of the night helped me create these.
