Where few dare to tread


Once again at the same place as my earlier post. This time we went in for a Lion Safari and our king did not disappoint us. There he was basking in the sun and enjoying a lazy afternoon siesta. And of course, we were the one inside cages...looking at the KING from our confines. Life is like that - you are sometimes the hunter and sometimes the hunted...

The Sighting


A comfortable warm morning with a bit of mist and a lot of anticipation made a perfect cocktail for us to explore Nehru Zoological Garden at Hyderabad. And boy, this was a scene straight out of my dreams - come face to face of a tiger and capture that moment while he looks into your eyes. I can assure you that the moment is really spiritual. The animal is such a beauty to watch and cherish (albeit from a safe distance). When are you meeting this one?

Play of Sun and Shade


This is one snap which i could not locate on the map!!
This was taken deep inside the forests in Sarawak. I was standing outside the rest house of one of my clients in Malaysia and when this wonderful image was gifted by mother nature. The hills were all green and the clouds were lingering in the balmy afternoon paving way for a rainy evening ahead. The place looked untouched and virgin though i was there for a client in lumber business. A study in contrast!! The client had a very scientific way of saving the environment - this is what i would say is "responsible co-existence".
By the way, we were not there on an off-site or vacation; it was part of our official duty to conduct requirement gathering and having discussions with users who were working out of this location deep inside the rain forests of Sarawak, Malaysia.
Can you feel the breeze as the clouds put a wonderful display of sun and shade?

The view from my Jharokha (window)

I wish I had a place like this from where I can have my morning cup of tea and enjoy the greenery and chirping of birds. Jaipur as a city is full of such beautiful pieces of architecture locally known as "Jharokha".(झरोखा)
Imagine the kind of detailed work that would have gone in making these stone look like "Moulded to this shape" - also notice the intricate carvings and "Jaali"(जाली) or Lattice work. Want to see this place for yourself, go ahead and see it at Jantar Mantar (near Hawa Mahal; "The palace of the wind" and a very popular tourist destination in Jaipur, India)

Break free from everyone...


I was playing with my son and there were all these toys of his which were spread across the floor (for parents this is nothing unusual). What caught my eye was the 'car' which was outside the toy basket while all others were trapped inside the 'so called cage" a.k.a. toy basket...so it was the car that looked like "broke free" from the clutches of the dark lord and spread a bright "yellow" tinge all around.
Not much of post processing done - except edge glow and framing! The pic was taken with a color priority of Yellow...tell me how does it look?
