Im back !

Taken on 24 May 2008, near Clarke Quay. Wasnt too serious that day and just shot it handheld. It was a strange 'presentation' by A French group in association with Singapore Art Festival. None of us seemed to understand what was happening, but there was some interesting fireworks, drama and music, all hosted with the Singapore river as the stage. Posted on 27 Sept - its been a rather long absence from photography and blogging.

How did this man who walks so slowly on the street,
Occupy a friendly corner of my heart at a high speed?

The Partnership


எந்தையும் தாயும்,
மகிழ்ந்து குலாவி,
எடுத்தது இப்படமே !


A memorable portrait of my parents in Chennai, India. Ever since they decided to shave the heads for a religious obligation in the temple of Tirumala, I wanted to capture the days when both are 'mottai'.
But it was nearly impossible to shoot this pic, because they could not stop laughing, as they were asked to pose standing very close and gazing into each other's eyes.

1) Kalyana mandapam (marriage hall) shot from just another corner.
2) The impressive Rajagiri fort atop the hill -"Troy of the East"
3) Gopuram of a ruined temple atop Ranimalai
4) View of lush green paddy fields from the hilltop.
5) Silhouette of my flute guru- Mr.Ghana, the reason why I was there in the first place.
6) A vociferous bunch of school kids who brought life to the ruins with their antics.

Senji koattai (Gingee Fort) is a historically important place in Tamil Nadu, which has seen numerous wars between the Indians(Jains, Pallavas, Chola kings, Pandya, Hoysalas, Vijayanagara kings, Muhammadans, Mughals) , British and French to capture it.

The Rajagiri (King's hill) is perched atop a intimidating rocky hill, and offers strategic advantage over other troops invading from the surrounding plains. There is Rani koattai(Queen's fort) on a nearby hill, which we climbed.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
