Monet Picture at Ashmolean Museum, Oxford I am very poor at appreciating art. I know of only a few big names like Monet, Van Gogh and umm, OK, Michaelangelo. So why am I talking (or not) about Monet now? Well, it all started with this post that I linked at Blogbharti- Kusum visits the Poppy…
A Picture Every other Day- Sitting Duck
Sitting Duck- Picture Clicked at Best Western Resort, Manesar After looking at this picture I can understand why a sitting duck is considered an easy target! The bird looks so peaceful, unconcerned with the world and without a care in this world. Or is it hiding behind the rocks from everything that is to be…
Food Sense- I Have None!
Ice Cream This post revolves around ice creams and tea. Long time back when I was a Ph.D student at Kanpur, I went out for dinner with a visiting faculty from Sweden, one of the few people whom I consider a thorough gentleman. He, I think, was fond of food. One has to marvel how…
A Picture a Day- Butterflies
Butterflies You can see the effect of not having to taking classes! My SLR has not been used as much as I like. So I thought I could make an effort to work more with it and post the images as ‘A Picture a Day’. Let us see if I make any progress this way….
Lazy Sunday Photo- The Millennium Bridge (Nicknamed Wibbly Wobbly), London
The Millennium Bridge, London (Also Nicknamed Wibbly Wobbly Bridge) I crossed the Millennium Bridge (though I didn’t know its name while crossing) after roaming around the St. Paul’s Cathedral area. In the background one can see the Tate Modern (at that time I didn’t know that the entry is free). And as I was reading…
Another Dance from Coorg
This was another dance performance that we saw at the Club Mahindra Coorgtrip. Folks back then described this performance to be inspired by Bollywood rather than having a local flavor. Shrinidhi actually had posted a translation of the song (if you are reading this post Srinidhi, could you please give me a link to that…
Rappling- A Few of the ‘Adventure’ Stuff I Have Done
Rappling Down a Rock, Sankari, Har-Ki-Doon Base Camp 2004 I had clicked this picture for our camp leader (and who turned out to be a good friend too, he visited us more than once when he has been in Delhi) on the Har-Ki-Doon trip. I too tried this activity and came down the rock without…
Lazy Sunday Photo- Aloo Pakoda (Potato Snack)
Aloo Pakoda (Potato Based Indian Snack) I am not at all fond of fried stuff and Aloo Pakoda is one fried stuff, but on certain days they do look tempting. And today somehow happens to be one of those days. But then I am to going to make it. Feeling just too lazy to take…
Bhulla Tal, Lansdowne Uttrakhand
Bhulla Tal, Lansdowne, Uttrakhand This summer is the most unpromising in terms of travel (though it looks quite promising work wise, I am really trying hard not to complain, no really I am trying). So, on many days, I end up looking at the old pictures and drool. When we actually visited the Bhulla Tal…
