A Rose Hibiscus

Though Rose is my favourite subject, I end up shooting more hibiscuses than roses. Availability could be one reason. This one was shot in Jithesh's house in Cochin.

Cloud nine ...

No. I was definitely not on cloud nine. After all, supporting UAT and Production in Champaign is not something to cheer about.
This photo was taken on an American Eagle flight from Chicago to Champaign. These small flights carry around 30 people on board and will fly just above the clouds.

Now this is not a 'sitting in a moving car' shot. This is bigger :).

Ripe...

This photo was taken on AT&T Project Event to Hans Adventure Resorts in Kolad.

I did some photoshop work to edit the background.

സ്വാഗതം ..

വടകരയിലെ ക്രിഷ്ണക്രുപ കല്യാണ മണ്ഡപത്തിന്റെ മുന്നിലുള്ളതാണ് ഈ പ്രതിമകള്‍ .
See the tricolur formation :).

Freeways

This is another 'sitting in a moving car' shot.I wonder when will India have roads like those in Developed Countries.
Freeways do not have any traffic signals, and one you hit a freeway, you are free from traffic (the slow moving ones and the signals). I drove all the way from Schaumburg near Chicago to Champaign all alone, (Garmin GPS assisting me with the directions), in less than 3 hours. And I never had to slow anywhere in those free ways strech of almost 150 miles, ie around 250 kms. I can not imagine atleast for the time being in India, driving in cruise mode, at 70+ miles per hour continuously for more than 2 hours.

Good morning !!

This photo was captured sitting in a car on the mumbai-pune express highway in a december morning. Jithesh and Me were going to mumbai to pick up anoop from the airport. I could not frame the photograph properly, since the car was moving. I could have removed the electric post from the frame to make it better. But still, I think, it is a good shot.

Road to Freedom

I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment.

About the photograph: On the way to Toseghar water falls, near Satara. Amdocs Bikers had a trip to this place on a rainy day. It was real fun. Biking in the rain is exciting.

Beauty, like a wet lady in trinkets of jewellery

White hibiscus looks more beautiful than her red counterpart. And, some showers on her adds to her beauty.
I know the background has clutter, which diminishes the overall beauty of the photograph. Well, I am learning....

Preparing for a new dawn

This photo was taken on Kaashid beach on Sprint Project Event. That was one of the most enjoyed project party's I ever had.
EGO is one word that I am most uncomfortable with, and you never can spot 'ego' in the sprint team. Miss you 'Sprint' !!!.

A peaceful volcano !!

Cenia is what they call this flower in Kerala. Did I spell it right??

This flower looks very much like a volcanic eruption. Wish volcano eruptions were this peaceful and beautiful.

Let me check if it is ripe?

This cute little Squirrel (I dont know how to distinguish him from other squirrels..) owns all the jack fruit in my house. After he tastes it and has enough of it for himself, we get our share if it
