Powai at night

This is one of the first pictures I took with the DSLR. I was returning from work and it was 11.30 at night. The rickshaw I was coming in took advantage of the fact that the roads were empty and revved up, if you may use that term for a three-wheeler. I decided to experiment with the camera and I got this as the result. For the record, I suck at night photography, but I was pretty happy with this one

Monsoons are here at last

Water trouble

Leaking taps, water shortage and no rain...that's life in Bombay right now

The predator

I had gone to Yeoor Hills in Thane to get a view of the city, when I saw this kite hovering around this lake. While I didn't have a tripod on me, I managed to get a couple of images in focus as he attempted to get some food or water

The dying sunflower

Summer's been unbearable this year. If you thought that we were dying of dehydration, then check this sunflower out.

Sunrise at 7 am

Since we live in the west coast of India, the sun doesn't rise before 6.45 am. On one of those days, I had decided to wake up and took this picture

Powai in black and white

Night light

This is one of the few images I have of Mumbai at night. This was at Juhu

The end of another day

Crows fly off in different directions after gathering in the evening for their meeting

Ganesh Chaturthi

Come into my parlor

Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly,
'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there."
Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."

"I'm sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high;
Will you rest upon my little bed?" said the Spider to the Fly.
"There are pretty curtains drawn around; the sheets are fine and thin,
And if you like to rest awhile, I'll snugly tuck you in!"
Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "for I've often heard it said,
They never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed!" 

The spider and the fly,
