Frozen in time...

Jehangir Mahal
Orchha, Feb'07

Orchha, a place truly frozen in time. Once the 'hot seat' of Bundela kingdom, this place now has become oblivious to time.

A morning at Safdarjang...

Safdarjung Tomb, Near Dilli Haat, New Delhi

Beautiful architecture, Beautiful morning light and the company of Jon :)

Lost in Thoughts...

Pushkar, Nov'06
Rajasthan

 OFT I had heard of Lucy Gray:
And, when I crossed the wild,
I chanced to see at break of day
The solitary child.

No mate, no comrade Lucy knew;
She dwelt on a wide moor,
--The sweetest thing that ever grew
Beside a human door!

You yet may spy the fawn at play,
The hare upon the green;
But the sweet face of Lucy Gray
Will never more be seen..
....
    - William Wordsworth

Here's one from Pushkar...

As the Survivor puts it...

Just a man and his will to survive
So many times,
it happened too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive...

A madarsa @ Nizammudin Basti, July 2006

So much lies ahead...

reach for the unknown,
the answers would follow...

Dhundhi, June 2006

A day well spent at Dhundhi. The trek for the day was cancelled due to severe weather conditions. A good part of the day was spent either in the dining tent or inside the sleeping bag.

Happy Birthday Maa! Love you a lot...

Bakkarthach Camp- Panorama

Beaskund-Bakkarthach, June 2006.
Nikon D50

Today as I complete five years of my professional life (and five years @ Adobe), I dedicate this photograph to this wonderful thing called Photoshop :). The panorama was created by stitching four photographs (all shot at same exposure) using Photomerge in Photoshop CS2. Though the stitched photo does have some flaws but it's still far far better than I expected it to be.

Five years, I still can't believe it's five loong years since I landed in this place, the longest I have been at a place. And lot has transpired in these years, a lot...

symphony in yellow...

Beaskund June 2006.


An omnibus across the bridge
Crawls like a yellow butterfly
And, here and there, a passer-by
Shows like a little restless midge.

Big barges full of yellow hay
Are moored against the shadowy wharf,
And, like a yellow silken scarf,
The thick fog hangs along the quay.

The yellow leaves begin to fade
And flutter from the Temple elms,
And at my feet the pale green Thames
Lies like a rod of rippled jade.

-Oscar Wilde

On the way to Bakkarthach
June 2006

The dog kept us company for the trek from Dundi to Bakkarthach. It used to go for a short nap every twenty minutes or so. It was while one of those naps that I woke it up and clicked this shot.
