This is a photo that I had taken a few months ago. This was a partially torn leaf and I tinkered with photoshop to rectify that natural defect. See if you can spot the area of change.

Friends
I took this picture in one of the quite villages, far away from the hustle and bustle of Bangalore. These kids were a happy lot, wanting to know about the cameras and how the pictures were taken. They were ready with a smile a posed for us without a question.
Eventhough this picture isn't one of the better ones I've taken in a while, it reminds me of one thing that's important to all of us... having friends! These kids remind me of what it means to have people who make you happy; people you can count on; people whose lifes you are a part of.
So hold close to you, the ones that you really care about and don't take them for granted. So that on the day when the sun isn't shining kindly on you, you'd still have a reason to smile, just as happily as these kids.

Sunflower...
The day we started our drive to Goa wasn't all that good. The farther we moved away from Bangalore, we hoped that we'd leave the rains behind. But that was not to be. There were irritatingly intermittent bouts of rain, and it didn't help to see the sun play hide 'n' seek from behind those ominous looking clouds.
But thankfully, ever so often, we'd be greeted by these brilliant patches of bright yellow, popping up on either side of the highway. So at one such section of the road, we stopped and I went over into a sunflower field and took this shot. And believe me when I say this -- those flowers are really really bright and so full of life, the kind that I haven't seen

Another one...
Of all the times that I walked the long road,
It is now, that I feel so lone.
Many-a-day have I spent beneath the bright sun
with only the length of my shadow marked all along.
Yet it is now that I feel so lone.
And when they came, along life's twisting lane,
and their shadows touched mine,
I wished -
that I wouldn't be alone.
And for all those shadows that slipped away,
and the waves that didn't care to stay,
I realize –
that I am alone.
And for all that I've ever wanted,
Being me is all that was granted,
And as the length of my life stretches on,
This too, I shall walk alone!
-- Moi.

Alone by the sea.
If there was one good thing about the whole trip to Pondicherry, it most certainly was the time that I spent sitting on the rocks, watching the waves crash against them.
Not that sitting alone by the sea would change your perspective in life, usher in new meaning, or any of that new-age jazz. But there is an undeniable calmness to be found by the sea. It's at times like these that one really likes to be alone; To find company even in solitude. So I sat there, under the dark sky, late into the night; just me myself and the sound of the waves for company. And it still feels so nice.
