Man and Sky

A man walking on the Bandra Reclamation boundary wall. Where do these people go? What do they do? I always wonder.

An Old Relic in Colaba

You look at this building and you feel like watching a bygone era. The Mobile and Digital Photography board lends a touch of modernity to the image. By the way, bang opposite this relic is Sachin Tendulkar's restaurant!

Dekhi Zamane Ki Yaari...

The loneliness of old age. Look at every senior citizen's face.

The young, meanwhile are busy exploring life.

Dekhi Zamaane Ki Yaari, Bichade Sabhi Bari Bari...

Wiping Off Poverty

Wish it could be so easy.

Wired Photo Contest -2

Poor Kenyan laborers at Rift Valley, Kenya. They earn about 100 shillings a day. 1 Dollar = 65 Shillings.

Mumbai Rains

Looks like Photoshop effects have been used on these pictures. They are mumbai rains captured from my car windscreen.

An Rare Sight in Mumbai!

I saw one of these rare walls of a public compound minus the posters/graphitti, at Mahim Causeway.

Hope one day all public walls look like these.

Some you see, some you don't!

You can see Giraffes all over Kenya, even near the Nairobi airport. They are common, though its fun to watch them move elegantly against wide skies. Also the Giraffe has an intense gaze and it directly looks into your eyes. Its weird, but true.

But you don't see the lions, cheetahs and leopards often. They are rare - the 'big five' - as gujju travelers call them.

We saw a glimpse of a lioness at Masai Mara. She disappeared as silently as she appeared.

More about Giraffes and Lions later...

Lake Nakuru

Lake Nakuru is an awesome sight. The pelicans and flamingos are seen to be believed.

Kids at Nakuru National Park

They had come for a school picnic. Look at the sun shining on their foreheads!!

Blue Sky and Blue Collared

Kenya is about clouded blue skies.

It is also about blue collared hard working Kenyans who (mostly) work for Indians (the Angrez of Kenya).

You always see them walking or cycling against the wide skylines of this beautiful country.

Game Bajao!!

Had been to Kenya for a 15 day Safari.

Met some beautiful animals and people.

Will upload images soon.

Jesus in Dubai

This is how I saw Jesus in Dubai.

Rajni as the Economist

He knows economics and culture better than anybody else in the world.

He makes millions out of it every year.

I caught him sitting at a bookstore in Chennai airport.

The warning about cellphone goes well under Rajni's image. Imagine him saying it in his own inimitable way!!!

Roadside Models!

I saw them on Linking Road, Bandra. I went to click their pics.

The boy tells me, "Foto lena hai to paisa dena padega" (If you want to click my pic, you need to pay me)

I agree.

He poses.

I pay him Rs.10.

He says its too less!!!

He follows me till my car...then says a bye to me and proceeds to beg again.
