Welcome to my blog.
Personally, I don't think I am a person of astronomical consequences. But, someday I want my life to be like what Jim Morrison said :
I see my self as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star.
Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!"
Then- whoosh, and I am gone....and they will never see any thing like it ever again....
and they wont be able to forget me- ever.

Thanks for coming!
Hope you have a pleasant stay here.

Some captured moments

Ever since I got my Cannon PowerShot A570 IS, I have been clickin a lot of pics.
Here are few pics from my recent kerala trip.

This was a shot taken just outside a temple. The poor puppy was scared of heights and wanted somebody to get it down.


Finally when no one was left, it decided to jump by itself. It did and happily went away wagging its tail as a winner. Even a puppy can be a serious source of inspiration.


Shots of a family temple.


Like traffic is own to mumbai, a daily dose of power cut is own to kerala. And I kind of enjoy the darkness. The following shots of the lamp were taken one such nite during power cut.

Even a small source of light can give an unlit lamp some form.

Witnessing the first miracle




I never believed in any of the modern spiritual leader. I do admire their service to the society, but, being portrayed as god may be made me run away from them.

My sister and her in-laws are a big believer of Satya Sri Sai Baba. I had been to their place for the first time this vacation. There was a bhajan held. I too participated in it. I had watched my sister through the bhajan chanting a thousand baba names. I just wondered, what made her believe in baba. Was it just being influenced by her in-laws. I decided to ask her. That night, we sat chatting and not to sound so obvious, I casually asked her about her devotion. She said about her experiences and positive effects of baba on her. Its her choice whom to believe after all. I didn't want to argue with her on wether baba was indeed god or not. But not being easily convinced about the issue, i tried to take out topics on the the magics that these baba in general did. Like taking stuffs like "bhasma", "flowers" or "fruits" out of thin air. If they were so capable, I wondered why they did not feed the hungry, shelter the orphans?

She did not answer me. She said there are reasons.
