panning is fun; but more fun is panning nice cars. I was crossing the road, when I saw this one with its turn signal on. I ran back and stood across the street, and waited, with locked focus, for my prey ... ;)

I pass by this construction site every day and this fence, bright orange, always caught my eye. It's clear I don't fancy flowers for macros... so I shot the fence, or rather, a part of it. Always under construction, I guess I just fenced my blog (watch your head!)... so yell, or admire, or pass by quietly as you please :)

I think it was thursday; there was a rock band (no, it's not in the picture) playing on the left to a large audience, and I remember wondering where did so many people come from. But they were playing very well.. so click, click and click and I went back to listen. I also took some photos of the band; while they looked great performing there, when I saw the pictures I took

MIT's OCW is a treat for every self-learner. With the best intentions MIT has opened itself to the world in a most true sense. The courses, free of course, are a great way to start learning something new, brush up your fundamentals, or to simply have fun. Some of the video lectures in Physics are to say the least, engrossing!

It was the music instrument of Lord Krishna, who is often depicted playing the six-holed flute. The Bansuri remained a folk instrument until about a century ago, Pannalal Ghosh, like an ingenious inventor started experimenting with the size and number of holes to achieve a richer and more vocal sound. Thus came the new era of Bansuri as it was injected slowly into mainstream raga music. Not only

I love rainy days... it's one of those days when time stops. A break ratified by the Heavens themselves. Top it in a balcony, a cup of hot tea, and a newspaper, and you wish it never ends...A walk in the park could be great too. With all that green (including my umbrella) I can hear my retina say: "thank you soo much.. "Also, a good time to remember that you can help get more more such days by
