Photographing children Posted on November 21, 2005November 21, 2005 Photographing children can be quite a delight : they usually have such mischievous, friendly, cute, unaffected and charming expressions : that capturing them on camera is a joy well worth the effort. I was pleasantly surprised when this particular one was adjudged Photo Of the Week over at Bangalore Shutterbugs Flickr Group. I took this at the City Market where I had gone one Sunday morning on a photo shoot with a few others. These three girls were standing beside the road, drinking water and I (thought I) managed not to attract their attention when I took it. Except the girl in the centre who looked up just as she was drinking. Which turned out to be a blessing after all, since she had quite a sweet expression on her face, just as she saw me clicking the picture!

Living What makes you feel alive? First rain! Posted on October 18, 2012October 18, 2012 Has it ever struck you how adults run in search of shelter at the sign of rain? I often wonder, when is it that we become so averse to rain?

So they say… Posted on March 5, 2007March 6, 2007 “A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip!” Spent a quiet evening by the riverside, a coracle ride down the waters, watching the beautiful shimmering shadows of the trees, the occasional chirping of a bird now retiring into the dark depths… 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

A natural and breezy picture!! Captures the rural scene vivdly. Last saturday I saw a two boys playing carrom. Not unusual but what struck me was that.. they were playing outside their hut, standing on knee depth water with a stool to support their board. I didn’t have a CAM to shoot that 🙁 Reply
