The Jatas – from The Kumbh

This gentleman made me sprint for at least a kilometer or so (and when I say “me” it means an overweight guy with a camera, camera bag and a rented lens in hand. So now I hope you can understand that it was a tough run :D ). Though he knew that I was shooting him but he would not stop and pose. Loved the attitude :)

I know there is a large head space in the first, but I kind of liked it …

Bhimtal ~ God’s way to celebrate peace

Visited Nainital in October 2012. On last day, We were getting bored and decided to visit a place nearby called bhimtal. We reached there in the afternoon and I was a bit feverish. Some very loud singer in a temple nearby was killing the mood. 

But all of a sudden I guess God decided to make us happy, some other singer took over in the temple and after that it was serene music in the air. The way that singer sang dohas and bhajans, we all were mesmerized. Evening got settled and sitting near this lake with the setting sun and the awesomely calm singing by the great bhajan singer, the experience was something which cannot be captured perfectly by any camera or any recording device. To experience it in its purest form, a visit is a must.

The complete set up made us feel that this is God’s way to celebrate peace…
