Lazy Sunday Photo- Street Food from Daryaganj Market
We went to Dayraganj Sunday Book Market today. I was thinking to take pictures and not too much about buying the books. But it was so crowded and with Chhavi along, all I could take pictures with was my cell phone camera. These were cookies sold on the road side. The brown ones in the…
An Unexpected Trip to Mumbai
I am off to Mumbai tomorrow (for work) and will be back on Friday. I will lug my laptop around but not sure if I would be able to connect. Came to know that I am going just today afternoon. But then next week I could be going to Mumbai again but waiting for the…
Mustard Field
This Sunday I went on the bird round along with Brat 1 (my elder nephew). With him I can venture out further. Got some bird pictures but also realized that I could photograph the mustard fields nearby. But the trouble on Sunday was that I only had the 70-300mm zoom lens with me. So, I…
As the Sun Sets
The bird was sitting against the sun and let me take two pictures before it flew away. I think it is a purple sunbird but somehow looks bigger sitting against the sun. It then went on to sit on the bottle brush flowers again. And kept on showing its beautiful neck. But those pictures are…
Lazy Sunday Photo- Purple Sunbird on Bottle Brush Flowers
Yesterday was a good day. As soon as I started on my bird round I saw a lot of parrots making a huge racket. But they were really far away and I had no way to get closer to them. Then after a while, when I reached my bird lane, I saw this purple sunbird…
Sparrows in the Backyard
My neighbor puts a lot of bird feed and I get to click the pictures. I wish I had the pose of the first sparrow along with the background of the second (loved that bougainvillea flowers background) but then birds are one of the worst models of the world. And yet when it comes to…
Lazy Sunday Photo- A Black Redstart Bird
I have posted a Black Redstart before but that was just the excitement of spotting a bird for the first time. But yesterday I managed to get better pictures at the same spot where I had found the Black Redstart a few weeks earlier.
Hawa Mahal, Jaipur
I somehow like this picture a lot. Not sure if it is ideal for Skywatch but I do find the little patch visible from the Hawa Mahal at Jaipur quite intriguing. Hawa Mahal was built by the king Pratap Singh in 1799 AD. The kings family used to live in the city palace and this…
New Notice at IGI Airport New Delhi?
I think this notice is new at the Delhi Airport. Not that I go to airports quite frequently but I cannot recollect seeing this before. Maybe it is because of the forthcoming commonwealth games that they have put it? The best piece of an airport scenario (though this was at Chennai airport but I can…
