Dust Storm at 3rd JK TYRE OYA Auto Cross and Motorcross event in Mohali, Punjab, INDIA

On 24th Dec'2011, it was final round of various competition categories in OYA Motorport event in Chandigarh. The day was full of dust all around the place. I was standing very close to these tracks and a black bag converted into yellowish color after I came out. Dust was negligible when bikes were flying, but during car races, it was hard to see what exactly is happening. At times, it was not able to click photographs as well. And at one point of time only two cars were competing. Basically these folks note the time taken by each car on a particular track and finally the fastest one wins the race.

Firozshah Kotla Stadium in Panoramic form

Somehow Cricket news have been reduced for last few months. One of the reasons is shift of focus from Cricket to other more important things for our country and other reason is bad performance of our Cricket Team I guess :) ... Although I am not sure if performance is really bad or it's just me who think so !

btw, I am not a Cricket fan but love to join friends for short span of time. T20 fits better for me to experience the passion of Cricket in stadiums and joining my friends to support their regional teams :)

Few Experiments with old Architecture of Jantar Mantar @ Delhi, INDIA - 7

No place is out of its reach
Nothing can save you.
When you are working or even sleeping
It will hit you when you least expect.

The quitessential question
of existence, of purpose, of calling
spares no one.
And when the mind starts asking
where did I come from and where am I headed.
some pack their bags and head out
in search of answers
while others put their hands
on the back of their heads
and lie back, relaxed.
“I came from nowhere,
and nowhere am I headed.”

Although the photograph is dull but I have clicked this on a very special day... btw the dullness of this photograph is due to exporting it through a software which tried to be over-smart with the Photograph and spoiled the sharpness of newly bought Canon 50D :) ... This Photograph was clicked on a day when I had to wait for my punctual friends for 3 Hrs in Cannought Place in Delhi !!! I just walked to Jantar Mantar and enjoyed the day with my Camera :)

Few Experiments with old Architecture of Jantar Mantar @ Delhi, INDIA - 5

Janatar Mantar in Delhi was one place which I planned to visit many times in last 6 years but never realized. Few Months back, I was in CP with one of my friend and we were waiting for other folks to join. After waiting for a while we decided to go to Jantar Mantar, as its at walkable distance from Cannought Place in Delhi. After that we asked our friends to join us there and whole day was very well spent shooting this beautiful piece of Architecture. Jantar Mantar provides lot of opportunities for Photographers who love to shoot architecture, colorful subjects, people or want to try something different with shapes and colors. 

Beautiful Cricket Stadium surrounded by snow capped hills of Dhauladhar Mountain Ranges of Himalayas @ Dharmshala, Himachal Pradesh, INDIA

I am not a cricket fan but recently visited Dharmshala to cover final match of T20 Mahasangram organized by HPCA and Jaypee Cement was sponsor of this great event.
