Boy having holy bath at Golden Temple, Amritsar (Punjab State of India) || Beginning of New Year 2012

This photograph is clicked on 1st Jan, 2012. This Boy was having holy bath at Golden Temple on a chilling morning with mist all around. 

There were lot of folks from various parts of Punjab and surrounding states at Golden Temple. I have been to this place many times, but this time it was too much crowded and there was hardly some space to freely move around. Everyone wanted to start the New Year with God's blessing.

इक लड़की भीगी भागी सी, सोयी रातों में जगी सी !!!

इक लड़की भीगी भागी सी, सोयी रातों में जागी सी...

मिली इक अजनबी से, कोई आगे ना पीछे. 

ये भी कहो, कोई बात है...

This Photograph was shot during one of the theater plays at National School Drama, Delhi, INDIA. She is Rajni in 'Chekhov ki Kahaniyan' play, which is directed by famous Theater Director Mr. Ranjit Kapoor.

Mobilegiri - Lady from hills, busy in usual morning things with her kids !!!

While travelling from Kullu Srahan to Shimla, this photographs was clicked from moving car. It's a click by HTC Desire HD and somehow it came out quite clear. Folks in the car were wondering, how she can do this to his kid :) ... Weather out there was chilling. Although she is wearing a half sweater, but temperature was below 10 degrees. This place was surrounded by snow capped hills and this kid is taking bath in open. Probably this is not a big deal for them, but this photograph still make me shiver in summers as well. See kid expressions and his hands.

Hatu Peak is near Narkanda. There is beautiful climb of 6 kilometers form main highway. Hatu peak has a temple and tourism come here for experiencing less-explored nature. It's an amazing place with wonderful weather on the top. It's situated at 3400 mtrs. Place has got one HPPWD guest house as well. Many bollywood moviews have been shot at this place.

In above photograph, Aneesh is jumping with excitement of reaching the place again. I am not sure if you noticed link on 'Place again' :)

A lady in Red Saari carrying some water for Maintainance work @ Humayun's Tomb, Delhi (During a Foggy day of Feb'2011)

Monsoons are almost gone now...

It was a lovely day in office... Usually come out of office to have a walk after lunch and this photigraph was clicked on back side of the office with my HTC Desire HD Mobile Camera... It was dark all around with cool breeze... No one was in a mood to go back to workstations and spend time with their computers or laptops... Suddenly rain started and we had no option... For last few days sky is brilliantly blue, which is hard to see in Noida or Delhi.... during summers it's very dull due to all the dust and pollution... and in winters fog makes the things worse !!!

An American Lady walking around Humyaun's Tomb in Delhi, INDIA

Few days back I met her at Humayun's Tomb and she wanted to ask something but hesitating to start.. First she started with a simple question about my Camera and introduced herself. She was travelling in various parts of India for last few days... She keenly observed some of the worker there who were doing some maintenance work at main Tomb... She was mainly worried if these people are completely going to change the monument or it's just few main pillars of the Tomb... Although she was appreciating their work and some of them were really changing the art-works on the walls... 


Suddenly after few minutes of conversation with this lady and I also thought about it ... and realized that soon we may see a new/Modern Humayun's Tomb if not maintained well !!!

Is this Monsoon Rain today?

It's very odd when you get a telephone call at 7:00 am on sunday morning ! I was sleeping and was not in a state to talk well.. I asked my friend to have another nap and we shall chat during the day... Just after disconnecting the phone, I heard the sounds outing... Initially I was not very sure if it is rain sound or someone is watering the plants... But soon after listening continuously to this, it was confirmed that it's rain :)

Finally time arrived to say Good Morning Sunday - 11:01 am and rain was still in it's mood.. It seems that Sunday will be a rainy day today... But is it beginning of Monsoons as well?

Raw Material suppliers working at Humayun's Tomb, Delhi (During maintainance work in Feb'2011))

During one of my visits to Humayun's Tomb, repair work are going on and these two folks were helping in getting the raw material inside the campus and from their expressions I figured out that they wanted to click one of their photograph...


I clicked this one but I should have taken their address to post the hard copies... Now onwards I will make a habit of keeping address of folks who would want me to click their photographs...

A tourist couple just entering into Humayun's Tomb on a foggy day at Delhi, INDIA

During Feb 2011, one of our friend was here in Delhi and we planned a week-end outing with him !! First we went to Humayun's Tomb in the morning and then moved to Old Fort near Pragati Maidaan. It was a foggy day and some of the tourists were disappointed with the whether ! But all of us enjoyed this day outing a lot !!

Early morning sunlight struggling through branches of a tree to reach lush green grounds of Humayun's Tomb !!!

I know it's not an impressive shot but this one of the decent shot I could get... I am really fan of such shots but never succeed :(

I should really work hard to get one in early morning ! It's really hard for me get up early in the morning but it's high time to think and try to get better shot.. Hope to catch a good shot soon and get back on same blog !

btw, I am visiting Hills of Himachal soon and it could be proved as a good opportunity to get such shot in early morning on the hills.. Suggestions to improve are welcome !!!
