Morning at Majestic Posted on July 18, 2005July 18, 2005 Someone caught in the reflection of a mirror A couple of weekends ago, one early and not so bright morning Lavannya, Sabir, Vasu, Anu and I packed our photography equipment and went to the Majestic bus station, City Market and Tipu Sultan’s Palace. We roamed around the busy bus station, the crowded Sunday bazaar (where you can buy almost everything!). Piles and piles of what seems like junk everywhere. At least that’s what it looks like. On closer inspection, it turned out to be useful stuff like nuts, bolts, screw drivers, mirrors, old cameras and stuff you wouldn’t see anywhere else. Vasu even picked up some Tamil movie cassettes at a bargain price! We then went to Tipu Sultan’s Palace (my first visit). It’s quite a grand name for a smallish structure, but interesting, never the less. I was more fascinated by the temple in the Palace compounds.

The Horse Files Posted on June 15, 2004 I was really relieved, when after my disastrous start getting onto a horse, this time around I actually managed to mount at the first go. Unfortunately though for me, Trilka (incorrectly called Trilla in my last horse related post) hadn’t had breakfast. So while trotting, she would suddenly look down… 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
The Namesake(s) Posted on April 9, 2010April 9, 2010 Being in a room with around 15 women, all called “Anita”, turned out to be quite a novel experience. Like we all joked, it was one occasion when we didn’t have to remember any names! This happened in February 2010 during a trip to Delhi and Gurgaon. A rather diverse… 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
India holds an amazing variety for photographers. Reminds me of someone who told me sometime back that when she was in India she could hardly think of what photos to take. I guess she had become so immune to the most picturesque scenes. Reply
I would want to join the bandwagon here too, if not for the fear that I would eb snickered for my poor old Canon S230. Me still pre-amateur. *sigh* Reply

Hi Anita .. sorry for sending this note here but i couldnt locate your email id anywhere – i’m off to BlogHer next week and in preparation for that i have been talking to several women bloggers about how blogging has affected their lives – i’d love to have your views too on this, given that you’re one of the earliest adopters – would you drop me a line, and i’ll tell you more about it then. Many thanks. Reply
