I did not fore­see this — my blog totally dis­ap­pear­ing off the online radar. Tried all sorts of things and finally fig­ured out that I had lost the theme of my blog. On a few ear­lier attempts to restore via back-ups, it worked and the blog would reap­pear. But I ran out of luck today. Noth­ing worked!

Row, row, row your boat, orig­i­nally uploaded by anitab­ora. We headed out to the river pretty early in the morn­ing to beat the heat dur­ing our stay in Man­ga­lore. In the early morn­ing, caught these fish­er­men tak­ing out their nets and cast­ing them in the river. This is the view of the river from the old […]

Under the full moon, orig­i­nally uploaded by anitab­ora. Under a full moon night, on Kanakpura Road, we were treated to a melange of music and dance — from Hin­dus­tani clas­si­cal, to rock to death metal — every­thing was on the menu! The dusk to dawn music con­cert, Bhoomi Jathre, was held at the Fire­flies Ashram, about […]

Some of us at the exhi­bi­tion, orig­i­nally uploaded by anitab­ora. This is the third exhi­bi­tion in which the Ban­ga­lore Shut­ter­bugs have par­tic­i­pated or put up, in the span of about 6 months. This one is titled “Paint­ing by Light” and has been organ­ised by Art Mantram Foun­da­tion, a group that works for the pro­mo­tion of […]

Jama Masjid, orig­i­nally uploaded by anitab­ora. This time, when pass­ing through Delhi on the way to Uttaran­chal, we got some time to roam around the Old Delhi area. I would have loved to spend more time click­ing there, but we could only afford a cou­ple of hours. Some snap­shots from the city’s street life. (Inspired […]

I was at the Forum mall on Fri­day evening buy­ing tick­ets for a movie. In the queue behind me, a girl and boy were dis­cussing some­thing and nudg­ing each other. Ter­ror­ist… com­mented the guy to the gal and they nudged each other again. AK-47 whis­pered the guy, behind my back. Only then I realised they were referring […]

Colours of spring, orig­i­nally uploaded by anita. I love the beau­ti­ful colours in spring time. It’s all too brief though. And the pur­ple and yel­low flow­ers only blos­som for about a cou­ple of weeks but they look incred­i­bly beau­ti­ful. I took a walk around the neigh­bour­hood a few days ago and cap­tured a few of […]

new begin­nings. new year., orig­i­nally uploaded by anitab­ora. Wish­ing all of you vis­it­ing JALS an absolutely gor­geous 2005. This beau­ti­ful sight I encoun­tered in Hampi on Christ­mas Day has remained entrenched in my mind. With all the tragic events that fol­lowed, these are the moments that become even more pre­cious. I do hope you like it. Love […]
