Goa – in black and white Posted on October 28, 2004 After finishing a few colour rolls, I decided to experiment with a black and white one while in Palolem, Goa. Here are some of the snapshots. This one is my favourite! I wanted to bundle all of them into my rucksack and bring them home to Kit Kit! The colour photographs will take a while longer, as the scans I got from GK Vale are absolutely crappy. So I will have to get all three rolls from the Dandeli-Goa trip rescanned. This is the second time this has happened. I think because of the load, their quality is becoming worse these days. But that’s really no excuse for grainy, low quality scans. Hopefully, I shall manage to get them all done by tomorrow.

About tea and other things Posted on October 4, 2008October 4, 2008 Tea happens to be my favourite beverage. Over the years, I’ve disposed off the need for milk (and sugar in most cases) to get the real taste of tea. I read this yesterday while browsing through a book and liked it so much, I made a note of it: “Tea… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
Anita Recommends The Penland Diaries: Arriving and settling in Posted on July 26, 2016September 15, 2016 The Penland School of Crafts has been on my “wish” list for a few years now. In 2013, when I was visiting friends in Virginia, I did a 2 month ceramics course down at Manassas. Around that time, I happened to chance upon the school and the workshops it offers… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
God’s own country? Posted on February 7, 2004 Am off to Pune tomorrow to spend a day with friends. On Monday, Stephanie and I are taking off to Kerala for a week. We’ll be going to Alleppey first.

Les photos sont vraiment jolies! (Et les chiens aussi!) – I also saw the Tempo1 pic…am currently doing Diplome at AF-Pune, so couldn’t resist saying that in French;-) Reply
Moody mornings, shivering puppies, warm cuppas, soothing surf, slippery sand, fantabulous feni … aah Goa ! Decent b/w snaps capturing the feel of good ole Goa … post the color ones soon … Reply

Superb pictures.. damn.. I really wish I was there.. instead I got rosted in mysore… Anyway my next roll will be a black and white for sure. Reply
hey….I agree that GK Vale sucks these days…happened to me too 🙁 do ya know of any other place where I can take good scans (in bangalore ofcourse :)) Reply
Geetanjali, Merci beaucoup! Diplome… wow! I am not sure I will be able to survive that long 🙂 LL: Black and white do have a special charm… Vegas: Your wish has been granted 🙂 Wildflower: Hmmm.. obsession with Kit Kit is a ‘forever thing!’ Kalyan: Thanks. You did have a chance 🙂 Pratap: Try Prabhu’s on Brigade Road. They do decent scans and prints. The last few prints I took from them from slides was pretty good. Reply
Hi Anita, I was googling “GK Vale” and this page was the fourth one returned. It is amazing and interesting how search engines connect things… Thanks for the info on scans… GK Vale does a lousy job of scanning in spite of clear, repeated instructions… Good for me and bad for “GK Vale” that googling it returns this page!!!
