Day 113 | April 23 2007 | A Date with the Moon
2007-04-22 22:04:00
Late at night, looking up at the sky, the moon was hidden behind a screen of fluffy clouds. To me, the two Ashoka trees are looking like rockets, ready fly me into space for a date with the moon.

Day 110 | April 20 2007 | Liquor Chocolates .. Hick !
2007-04-20 15:06:00
Now thats a drunk chocolate, which cant even stand straight. The blue one did not stand straight, no matter what. These are the last 4 of a batch of hundreds my friend got from his trip to the US. The liquor chocolates taste very good with the raw liquor inside, but they get over very very soon.Aditya Bhelke's 365 Days Photo Project.. http://365-days-photo-project.blogspot.co m/

Day 109 | April 19 2007 | Invasion by the Dragon
2007-04-19 14:43:00
The Chinese dragon is every where... Chinese toys, Chinese food, Chinese goods, even Chinese motorbikes. Anything cheap, and it will have a 'Made In China' tag on it. Just saw on TV that a fluctuation in the Shanghai Stock Market affected the Indian Stock Market indicator, the Sensex. Is that scary or what?Thats the colourful menu card of a polular Chinese restaurant Chung Fa. Btw, the food's great but not 'Chinese' cheap.Aditya Bhelke's 365 Days Photo Project.. http://365-days-photo-project.blogspot.co m/

Day 106 | April 16 2007 | Hard Days Work - IT Engineer
2007-04-16 19:32:00
Information Technology is still a major growth driver not only in India, but also in the Asian subcontinent. Thousands of new jobs are migrating into the Asian region. The reasons are obvious.. cheaper and higher quality outputs from the region. This is IT outsourcing to BPO's. India has revenues of 6.4 Billion USD from offshore BPO and 36 Billion USD from IT and total BPO. Now thats India Shining!!That is Sandip, my colleague and friend working on a case with a North American customer, for a leading IT firm in Bangalore.

Day 105 | April 15 2007 | Lights Out..
2007-04-15 16:50:00
Thats how my office looks when its deserted. There were not more than a few people on the floor today as it was a Sunday. I had wanted this shot for a long time, but could never take it as it was always bright with the fluorescent lighting.Luckily, the over head lights just went out and I knew they could come back within a minute. Not wanting to loose this window of opportunity I took this shot, without being able to set my DSLR. It was late afternoon, and the low sun nearing the horizon was bathing the floor in golden light. A window on the right, with dark sun control film, makes some of the surfaces blue in the shot.

2007-04-14 13:09:00
Waking up after a cat nap, I came out to stretch the balcony of my 2nd floor home. I was delighted to see this breathtaking golden sight. With a bird flying home, and another one just sitting, aint it beautiful?

Day 103 | April 13 2007 | Conflict (buy insurance)
2007-04-12 21:44:00
I heard some comotion in the lane where I stay. Looking out I saw a well dressed, middle aged guy arguing with two men in army overalls; obviously soldiers. It turned out that the army guys banged the civilians car, and the car had a scratch or dent of some sort. The heated argument only ended after a few minutes.. and how.. the army men sat on their bike, and ran away as fast as they could with the poor civilian running behind them. Finally the army men escaped, leaving a very furious panting man behind. I hope the poor guy had good car insurance.

Day 102 | April 12 2007 | Shades of a Lamp Shade
2007-04-11 23:06:00
To say the truth, there was really nothing better to post today. This qualifies as the best shot of the day.. So here is a 'not so unique' lamp shade. Clicked this while exiting Friends, a fast food joint in Koramangala, after a late dinner.

Day 100 | April 10 2007 | Mindless Consumerism
2007-04-09 21:46:00
Recently I was approached by a book cover designer. He needed suitable photos for a book on the subject 'Mindless Cons umerism '. I was out with my camera looking for settings and moods which would suit the cover.This one is out of that series, taken in Koramangala outside Cafe Coffee Day. It may not suit the topic, but the colours in this photo compeled me to post this.

Day 99 | April 9 2007 | Kaleidoscope
2007-04-09 13:51:00
I can recall spending hours together looking into one, looking at the riot of colors and shapes evolve in my prized possession - a kaleidoscope. It was my favourite pass time during my pre-teen days.I was doing the same but this time through my camera. I captured these beautiful shapes and colors evolve... Do get one, its fun.

2007-04-08 14:42:00
A famous Caricature artist busy at work inside a mall. He does posters for Rs.100, and they are pretty good.Taken from the 1st floor, exactly above the artist, I think this is a good shot.

Day 97 | April 7 2007 | Bye Sun, good bye Earth !?!
2007-04-07 14:02:00
What do you feel when you see such rampant pollution sources. Does it remind you of the final Sun set marching on its way? I can always recall the mad prophet from Tintin magazines, who carried plaques saying 'the end is near'.Taken from the top of my terrace after a hot Bangalore afternoon, thats the Mico-Bosch factory in sight.

Day 95 | April 5 2007 | Brand Recall - Portable Ads
2007-04-05 16:11:00
Are we there yet? I guess we are.. We are in a place where marketers are grabbing our attention. Its apparent by all such portable vans, with power backup, parked strategically in high volume places. They make sure that you pass by them and 'look' at them, and do recall the brand on your next shopping trip. Brand Recall !Taken on the busy Koramangala main, while bicycling back home from my evening cycling sessions.

Day 94 | April 4 2007 | Landing
2007-04-04 16:10:00
This is the year of cheap air travel in India. Cut throat competition is driving air fares to the lowest possible, sometimes even allowing passengers to fly for free. The fares are so low that even the 'common man' can easily afford flying on a yearly vacation.This was the first time I got decent plane shots on my D40. This is an Indigo plane, descending to land at Bangalore Airport.

Day 93 | April 3 2007 | Thinking of what to buy?
2007-04-03 16:10:00
Inside a mall, its always fun to window shop. I was outside Archies Gallery looking at the tiny decorative items in the display window; while a lady inside was checking out the jewelery. She was taking her sweet time to do that, while I got this candid shot.Do women really decide on something. Is it, that if they choose something, they are sub-consciously accepting that there can be nothing better than that? Does that make them such slow shoppers, that it takes them forever? I guess its a buggy algorithm up there responsible for this trait, which makes the choosing so difficult.Hoping that the lady readers take this lightly... :P

Day 92 | April 2 2007 | Good Luck Windchime
2007-04-02 16:09:00
This is the wooden plate of a Chinese wind chime, a gift from my sister, hanging in my drawing room. The chime makes beautiful heart warming melodious sounds, even when a small breeze flows in. Feng Shui says it helps in generating positive or good Chi. I just love the sounds it makes, and I'm crazy about wind chimes now.I asked a colleague of mine who is of Chinese origin, what those engravings mean. He says it means good luck, and that everything goes your way. Just a normal greeting during the Chinese new year.

2007-03-31 16:06:00
It was a sweet surprise to hear from an old friend, who had come to town. He was going to be there only for the next hour. My other friends and I rushed to meet him, and it was a grand reunion with warm hugs and pats on the back. Meeting after many years brought back the good old memories of the good times spent together.

2007-03-30 16:05:00
On this hot afternoon, a few friends and I decided to meet for lunch. I was late to reach the Rasoi Restaurant cum Fuel Pub in Koramangala, but was not surprised to see that my friends had already started their first round of beers. The chilled Kingfisher draught beer was really soothing this hot afternoon. It was todays Fuel!

Day 88 | March 29 2007 | Commercial Street
2007-03-29 16:05:00
This is a view of one of the lanes in Commercial Street , Bangalore's central shopping hub. Many lanes, lots of shops, and huge crowds. One can find branded stuff as well as the local varieties. This specific lane had lots of shoe stalls. Bargain hunting always works. You can easily get a pair of descent looking ladies footwear for as low as Rs.100.I took this shot with the camera held higher up to get some depth and perspective of the environment.

Day 87 | March 28 2007 | Lord Unknown
2007-03-28 16:04:00
This is 'Lord Unknown '. Unknown only because I'm unable to identify him and know his name. Most Indian gods/deities/lords are so smart and handsome that the all look the same to me; unless that have some special weapons or equipment which they are displaying. Ya equipment is not exactly the right word, but I just cant think of any other one.

Day 86 | March 27 2007 | Let there be light
2007-03-27 15:58:00
This is a Phillips made, 150W metal halide lamp (MHN-TD), being used to highlight a building. It must be blinding to be so close in front of it when light.This shot may seem cluttered, but I liked this because of the colour distribution in the reflector.. shades of the sky's blue and yellows of the building in front.

Day 85 | March 26 2007 | The Art Of Living - A New Ray Of Hope
2007-03-26 15:23:00
This is a beautiful sunset seen at The Art of Living - International Centre. Also called as Ved Vignan Mahavidyapeeth, it is 21Km away from Bangalore city on the Kanakapura-Udayapura Road. Founded by spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, this organisation has found runaway success in Indian and abroad.The place is a must visit for spiritualists although I had been there mostly as a tourist. They promise a new and hopeful life the spiritual way. From what I have come to know they do not preach based on any specific religion; but the Hindu scriptures - The Bhagavad Gita forms a base to their way of life. The building, the surroundings and other infrastructure and amenities are impressive. Once there, the clean air and the natural calm sets in a very spiritual mood. Do visit if spirituality interests you, or just for the sake of fun.
