May GOD bless her… :)

I was confused how to highlight the girl in the pic, so opted for selective colouring... please to do tell me if there is any other way :)

What you lookin' at... :D

Was roaming in the streets of Adipur, my hometown, at 6 in the morning.

Captured many people that morning and all smiled and posed. But this particular guy had this awesome poker-face and I felt like he is saying

Aye… what you lookin’ at… Don’t disturb me while I have my morning sitting-alone session :D

Treat for Bike lovers :)

On our way to kaas plateau, saw few bikes overtaking our car in the blink of an eye…..

I thought that might be some commonly seen bikes driven by some stupid teenagers. But when we saw those bikes again, I was amazed the way the bikers though were at ferocious speed, they were exhibiting such an awesome and controlled driving skills. Awesome way of communication by the guy leading the group to signal the blockers ahead….

To our luck… we made a halt at the same place where those bikers were having tea…. And saw that each biker was a mature guy and no teenager…..

For me…. It was clearly evident that the bikes they are driving….. Some worth more than a million rupees… they bought it after they have invested their hard work in their respective fields for a long period of time…. These bikes and these rides were not a mere gift to a teenager from their wealthy dads…. It was their hard earn bike rides….. Truly respected….

And they were so normal when they were sitting for tea… not constantly looking and guarding the bikes…. For them, these bikes were not the most important thing they have bought… awesome attitude… They very easily allowed me to capture some pics of those beautiful works of the automobile world….

Sorry for such a long write-up… Just wanted to communicate my state of mind when I captured these pics :) 

Here are some pics which I chose to publish…. The number plates are blurred for obvious reasons :D

  

My Possessions...

After 255 days… Achieved something which I can define as a personal milestone in photography…  

It’s one of the greatest coincidences that this pic is being published in a post which is my 50th photo blog post :)

I feel very lucky that I got an opportunity to shoot this pic….

All the things I want so properly arranged without any intervention from my side!!! Totally natural pose and natural arrangement of things…

This pic is as if saying that no matter what you do and how you do and no matter how much you have, at last you just need some few things to go on in life…

My WANT might be endless but my NEED might be same as that of this man.

Awesome thing….. :)

Relaxation - Personified :)

In one of my trips to my hometown, I landed at 6:00 in the morning. Thought of absorbing the town to the maximum before going home.

While having a walk, saw this gentleman relaxing to the fullest by listening to one of the oldest radio channel, the vividh bharti, outside his home.

When he saw me shooting him, he told to stop at that very instance, went into the house and came with a special cap. It was a cap he bought from Pakistan. A few stories from his awesome life experiences and then he allowed me to shoot as many pics I like :)…

One of the moments in my life which I will remember for a very very long time :)

A cute encounter :)

On my last visit to Ahmedabad, went to a fun ride carnival.

While I was screaming like crazy in a scary like hell ride and all got a good subject to laugh, there was a cute girl adjacent to me. She looked at me, smiled like an angel, and looked somewhere else. I got my camera, waved at her and requested her to smile again.

I was lucky enough that she was too modest to pose for me :)

My Amee does it out of superstition so that the person remains away from negative waves, well let me to it as well. “THU THU… Touch wood” :)

May GOD bless her… :)

My Nephew ~ Quiet only for the camera :D

The Model is my nephew Tanishq… Just asked him once to pose for me… He agreed readily, which was a shocker…

Found out that photography is the only arena where you can control this guy :D :D :D
