Headlights?

I am sure this is perceived as auto headlights in a rainy night. The location is a restroom with blue tiles, and the lights are the reflection of flash (SE K750i has two tiny flash lights).

Stairway to Hell

Stairway to hell is the emergency exit stairway of express towers. A fall from here would take you 20 floors down, straight to hell!

The Map...

This is somewhere above Maharashtra at a height of 5000 m. This is not a great snap but the most unique aspect about it is that at this height, you can see the horizon not as a straight line but as an arc. One more... there is hardly any manmade construction visible from that high, isn't it?

Location: Maharashtra, India

Altitude 11000 m

Don’t mistake this for a MS Powerpoint template. This is a snap taken from an height of 11,000 meters. Feels closer to the almighty, doesn’t it?

Location: 11,000 meters above ground level, India

The Distance!

This place and the one in my earlier snap "Mumbai mirror, Mumbai mess" is just 2-3 km away. This is what thay call "Unity in Diversity" over here in India.

Grass

The shot is a micro close-up of some green grass. I use this as wallpaper for my desktop because this really gives me a soothing feel.

Mumbai mirror, Mumbai mess...

Mumbai mess tries to portray a city the infrastructure of which is being streched to the limits. Its a summer sunset at the backdrop against the dusty old structures.

Location: Mazid, Mumbai

Sparkle

Sparkle looks like a visual effect, but its not. This snap is clicked by a friend of mine. He used the flash and clicked the inside of a green wine bottle. Sparkling idea!

Unadulterated Horizon

This is something I call no nonsense stuff. This is no photography. This is pure nature. One of the few places in a city like Mumbai where you get to see an unadulterated horizon.

Location: Marine Drive, Mumbai

Move it Man

The snap is an attempt to capture the motion in the daily life of a common man from Mumbai. It has it all… pace, light, color and the spirit. I have tried to bring in the motion blur effect for the theme.

Blog - Dog

The dog who has hit my blog feels that he is Leonardo Dicaprio from Titanic. He proclaims that he is the ‘King of the world’

Location: Nariman Point, Mumbai

Sea-Rock

You know what it is if you have stayed in Mumbai and been to Marine Drive. The specifically designed rocks are meant to stop the Arabic ocean from reclaiming the reclaimed land. I call this the real ‘Sea-Rock’… an attempt by mankind to rock the sea.

Location: Nariman Point, Mumbai.

Power beyond the power grid...

"Power beyond the power grid" is a theme representation of the obvious fact that in this world, there are things bigger than the ones in our philosophy. The photo shows the fragile manmade power grid against a bright sunrise.
