ghar ki kheti.. my mom's garaden

after a brief interval, the dormant photographer within me woke up to today's bright n sunny morning an decided to let the camera do the talking.

clicked 'sitting ducks'...flowers from my mom's kitchen garden for my subject. the bright sun coupled with the bright colors of the flowers were a good incentive to shoot.

some of the shots were tough. the camera wud keep focusing the background instead of the flower. some of the flowers were growing at an odd angle. the lilies in specific.the flowers normally face the ground owing to their weight and weak stem. had to virtually lay on the ground to get this one right..

got good reviews on fb for my efforts

four fundamental facts

a beautiful parable our parish priest shared with us yesterday.

the inventor of pencil, told it four fundamental facts
1. your value lies in your core, thats what you actually are.
2. you will experience pain when you are sharpened but it will bring out the best in you.
3. you will be most effective when you leave yourself in the hands of others.
4. you are expected to leave beautiful marks, but be humble enough to accept being erased,if you create somethng wrong.

guess, all these are applicable to us humans as well :)

Airtel Great Delhi Run - 21 November 2010

participated in the airtel great delhi run today.

was a good experience, clicked some good pics n gave them some interesting captions ( i think)

for me though it was airtel great delhi walk. ardently walked the whole distance. thats what my preparation ( if any) and stamina permits.

reached in a little late. the shuttle service form the metro station was a bit let down. but every cloud has a silver lining ;)
