What I See is What I can Post

Posted on May 11, 2010
Tree
Tree across the Traffic Signal

Sometimes I feel that most of the things I see, I see from a moving car! And most of the landscape is quite full of construction dust at the moment. And the weather quite hot. In this scenario, the tree in the picture above is a very familiar one for me. I often stop at the red light here on my way to work.

Census of India Hoarding
Census of India Hoarding

This is another place I cross daily and I noticed for the first time that there is a Census of India hoarding here now. Must be a recent change. But it is also possible that I took notice of it only today. I wonder how many we will count this time. It already feels that we are way too many, myself included.

Temple Gurgaon
A Temple on the Way

And if you look hard in the left hand corner you will find the top of a temple in this picture. This is the bane of my morning commute, if there is a festival (which seems to be on a large number of days) the traffic goes for a complete toss. But this is also the place where Mynas fly in a bunch of 100s particularly in March. Next time, when I see that spectacle again, I will stop my car and make a video. The Mynas are still there but not in that big a number.

    Liked the third photo the most. the rising Sun, the silhouetted temples, trees is making it beautiful spectacle . The darkness is getting nullified by the rising fire ball..

    we havent seen any sign of the census here in bbay yet…. as u say, there are way too many anyway! i dont remember the last time they turned up, so am actually looking forward to the people who come to ask questions and am wondering if they actually will!

    the tree looks nice and green in spite of the heat.. must be a relief as u wait for the signal!

    Chitra it was actually the setting sun but then it still is beautiful.

    Anu apart from that hoarding I too have not seen the census here.

    Ramesh Chhavi is becoming naughty day by day!

    Thanks Megha.

    Tarun, sometimes it feels I see all the interesting things from the blur of a moving car!
