2008-02-25T07:10:00.002-06:00

This is one of the best photo i have ever taken, the situation was good, the lighting was good and i guess the framing is also not bad. I am personally quite satisfied with this click, rather i am also satisfied with the post production treatment done on the image, especially because i have taken this from a regular point and shoot camera. I believe that this could have been better with a SLR..... :)

The Economist

2008-02-25T07:06:00.002-06:00

Who says knowledge is gained after reading. I believe that the guy who carried such a huge lot of papers was much aware of what he is carrying. I think its sufficient. And also i somehow felt that the way those papers were folded, reminded me of the old Economist Ad.

Smiling boy.

2008-02-25T07:03:00.002-06:00

I guess i have clicked a lot of pictures of this sort, i need to experiment more on closeups. But this pic was just clicked to make the boy happy. He personally asked me to click his photo and publish it in paper, so i thought why not at least a blog.

Real art lies in gowdowns.

2008-02-25T06:59:00.003-06:00

This was a small workshop kinda room in one of those thousands lanes on our way to Jama Masjid. A person was sculpting Different idols for sale. He had around 100 Idols lying around him.

Sadi main Sadi, Parag Sari.

2008-02-25T06:56:00.001-06:00

Whole lot of saris at one go. Huge pile of saris stacked wherever possible. Even the smallest shop had around 500 to 600 Hundred saris to showcase.

Hisab Kitab.

2008-02-25T06:53:00.002-06:00

This was the most reguar site on streets of Chandni Chowk, A shopkeepers sits on a white bed sheet, and showcases different types of saris and dress material to the customers.

Sarees at Chandni Chowk.

2008-02-25T06:51:00.002-06:00

This pic is just to make me feel that i had really been to a wonderful place of Sarees and ornaments at Chandni Chowk. :)

Waiting for his goods

2008-02-25T06:48:00.002-06:00

This was shot near Jama Masjid, where an auto rickshaw driver was waiting for his goods to be loaded. He was taking a small nap when i asked for a picture.

Relaxing

2008-02-25T06:46:00.003-06:00

Relaxing with a enriching smile on his face after whole day's hard work. I thought to click this pic as the lighting on his face was good.

Mirch Masala

2008-02-25T06:37:00.001-06:00

Mirch Masla, nothing but just a normal pick, i like the arrangements and color.

Jama Masjid

2008-02-25T06:33:00.002-06:00

I really can't explain this in words, you need to be present there to feel the rush, the adrenaline running in your veins. Huge and magnificent structure, but the some sort of terror lies in there. (at least for me i felt it that way)

Ear - Clear

2008-02-25T06:31:00.002-06:00

This is a classic example in photgraphy, where an ear cleaner (i don't know what is he called) is cleaning his customer's ear. This was also shot on the streets of Chandni Chowk.

Diya Jale...

2008-02-25T06:29:00.002-06:00

This was at the temple near chandni chowk, People buy one more diyas to offer it to the god inside. Not much history behind it, but regular illumination practice.

Gali Gali mein firta hoon!

2008-02-25T06:25:00.002-06:00

"Gali Gali mein firta hoon main kyun banke banjara" I could see at least 100 or more cycle rickshaw walas in those narrow lane of Chandni Chowk. I really wonder how can they manage to drive in those dangerous roads without even touching anyone, nor honking. Truly a great stunt.

Garma Garam Chat.

2008-02-25T06:24:00.001-06:00

Brillant chat, which i had been longing for since ages. Too good.... hhmmmmm.

Temple Next to the Metro Station.

2008-02-25T06:19:00.002-06:00

This was a temple next to Chandni chowk market, on our way from the metro railway station towards the whole lot of cramped streets.

Chai Wala.

2008-02-25T06:17:00.002-06:00

He was just a ordinary chaiwala in the next lane, but I liked the way he stood between those two pillar and made chai the whole day.

Change Please....

2008-02-25T06:14:00.003-06:00

A shopkeeper was waiting for his change from the customer who bought chana for Rs.3. I just couldn't believe the quantity he offer for mere Rs3. Really Chandni Chowk has a damn cheap cost of living.

Group relaxing

2008-02-25T06:11:00.002-06:00

This was at the same place where the vegetable wala was sitting, the place was quite inside a narrow lane, and light was coming from the top of those narrow places. Quite a good environment to have a nap, or chat with old friends and chill for th whole day.

Bhaji Wala at Chandni Chowk

2008-02-25T04:56:00.002-06:00

A person was sitting next to his vegetable shop at Chandni Chowk. I felt like taking this snap as the lighting was good around the place.

The most Loving Kiss i have ever seen.

2008-02-22T05:26:00.002-06:00

This moment gives me immense satisfaction of clicking a good snap. The photo might not be technically correct but gives a feeling of "A Child, giving the most lovable kiss to his mom." The image is quiet real and happening for me.....as if its real.

Atharv in all moods.

2008-02-20T07:59:00.002-06:00

This is just a experimental collage of photos while Atharv was listening to the music. He was completely head banging and the moments were amazing to capture.

Still enjoying.

2008-02-20T07:58:00.001-06:00

So this is me again. I had a blast that day.

I was very happy.

2008-02-20T07:53:00.003-06:00

This is me, I was very happy to listen some different kind of songs. Otherwise i am a die hard lover of Hindustani classical, Religious, Folk and basically any Pure Desi songs. From Ghulam Ali to Hariharan, From Rafi to Sonu Nigan to Prassana Gudi, to Swanand Kirkire. It was a nice experience, people should really listen to all genres of Music.

Atharv

2008-02-20T07:49:00.002-06:00

Atharv is one of the highly talented Delhi Boy who has got some real jigra..... I love the way he gives his desi badwords...i bet no one can beat the speed in which he delivers those few hundred golden words in one breath. Truly amazing talent. But he is really good person at heart.

Anibaan in action.

2008-02-20T07:47:00.002-06:00

This is just one of the stills used in the movie. Its i guess a suspense thriller kinda thing. i will soon send you guys the you tube link of direction.

Smoke smoke go away.

2008-02-20T07:45:00.003-06:00

This was i guess the last shot i took, after this, even my camera battery was over and i had to run for the shot.

He was tapping now.

2008-02-20T07:42:00.001-06:00

I some how liked the way he was smoking, so thought of clicking some more snaps to continue the process....

Anirbaan For a smoke

2008-02-20T07:40:00.001-06:00

This was taken i was shooting for some short film at my friends place. Anirbaan was with his smoke.

Toys

2008-02-18T07:57:00.001-06:00

Beautifully designed hand made toys. Made using Rajasthani form of Art. Bright colors, great artworks.

Rice Dino.

2008-02-18T07:55:00.002-06:00

This whole dinosaur was made up of rice. Fantastic form of Art.

Ornaments Hanging.

2008-02-18T07:52:00.004-06:00

The most crowded place on earth, filled with beautiful girls and ladies. Ornament's shop at Handicrafts Festival; Times of India at Delhi hatt.

Delhi Metro

2008-02-18T07:48:00.002-06:00

I found this to be a real plight of Delhi roads, wherever Metro railway construction is going on. The road have become so narrow that there is hardly any space to park a Bicycle. But definitely other roads are like heaven to ride on.

Gajar Khan

2008-02-18T07:46:00.001-06:00

Nothing but just normal visual which I thought worth clicking.

Jay Ma Durga.

2008-02-18T07:42:00.002-06:00

This is one of the most human looking face i have ever seen in a fake mask, Traditionally drawn for relegious rituals and mostly used as a contemporary showpiece in most halls. But thik hai!, art is art.

Child labour World wide

2008-02-18T07:39:00.001-06:00

A small child making Pots for his daily living. I really can't comment on this as i could do nothing but just take a picture and post it on my blog.

Dolls for sale.

2008-02-18T07:24:00.002-06:00

This was at the Delhi Fest of Crafts. A Rajasthani shop keeper selling "Cutputli" and other types of dolls.He posed at me in a friendly manner and gave me his card. They had a family tradition of performing arts, from weddings to selling toys and other stuff. A good person to chat with.

No queue in this pic.

2008-02-18T07:18:00.002-06:00

I find it interesting to see these kind of snaps (from any photographers - portrait), these small children never stand in a queue or chain, the formation is generally the same way as in the pic. May be the boldness of one overpowers the others and they align themselves for the click. :)

No need to smile.

2008-02-18T07:15:00.002-06:00

On my way to Delhi Hatt, for Times of India Festival, I saw this cute little girl who came ahead to pose me. Really liked the way she stood in a very daring way.

Corn or Oranges.

2008-02-18T07:12:00.002-06:00

This extreme close up of Oranges put me in a puzzle, that were these real oranges which i shot or a good closeup of Corn? Anyways, those were really arranged so well to make an uncertain statement.

Bird Flu Trade mark.

2008-02-18T07:07:00.002-06:00

I recently saw one guy selling Bread Omelet, he had these interesting looking eggs. I asked him about those marks, and found out that due to Bird flu all over the city, they were checked and then sold it to the whole sellers. The mark was "Bajaj something, Rs.3". Wohh! the prices had also gone high. Never mind, i am not a that big egg fan. The visual was quite interesting at fist sight. So thought to share it with you guys.

Sunrise

2008-02-14T05:20:00.002-06:00

This is not a regular sunrise, the effect was created using a par light which is used by most camera man.... The shot was taken at 3.30 pm IST. Quite and skill hai na?

Mixed Races gathered for one cause

2008-02-14T05:05:00.002-06:00

People had gathered from different places at my friends house for Pooja. I some how thought that different footwear symbolize people from different culture and community. All gathered for one cause.....blah blah.... Nothing much yaar. I just thought this is a good composition.

Robert Rauschenberg

2008-02-14T04:58:00.001-06:00

The sixth Bmw Art Car was created by Robert Rauschenberg in 1986. The artist used photographic methods to transfer images, including famous classical paintings, to the car.
The Rauschenberg BMW 635 CSi Art Car - the sixth addition to BMW's collection of 15 Art Cars - is the first in which the artist used photographic methods to transfer images (including images of famous, classical paintings) to the car.

Rauschenberg extended his use of Art Car motifs in his six-part, 1988 "Beamer" series - presented as transparent films on enameled aluminum and using his trademark collage techniques.

The paintings was offered for sale from the artist's private collection.

The Rauschenberg car made its first appearance in 1986 at the BMW Gallery on Park Avenue in New York City, and in 1988 made its European debut in West Berlin.

Since then it has been exhibited across Europe and was a centerpiece of the acclaimed 1997 Rauschenberg retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.

Robert Rauschenberg - The Artist

Born in Port Arthur, Texas in 1925, Rauschenberg is recognized as one of the 20th century's most influential and prolific artists. He is credited with bridging the gap between the movements of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art.

A pioneer of the "Transfer Drawing" process, he experimented in technologically sophisticated combinations of photographs and drawings. As such, his trademark BMW Art Car design includes trompe l'oeil images of Bronzino's 16th century painting "Portrait of Young Man" and Ingres's "Odalisque."

Andy Warhol Car

2008-02-14T04:38:00.003-06:00

The fourth BMW Art Car was created in 1977 by the Pop Art legend Andy Warhol who, unlike the previous artists, worked directly on the full-scale vehicle and painted the car himself.

For Andy Warhol to paint an automobile seems a natural. His studio was known as a factory and his greatest fame came from portraying Campbell's Soup cans.

Warhol explained the sweeping strokes of his car, "I tried to portray speed pictorially. If a car is moving really quickly, all the lines and colors are blurred."

All previous Art Car artists created their designs on 1:5 scale models, called maquettes, and had technicians reproduce their designs on the real cars. Warhol insisted on painting the real M1 himself.

He is reported to have spent all of 23 minutes painting the car. He ran his fingers through the paint to leave a personal touch.

When asked if he was pleased with the end result, he replied, "I love the car; it's better than the work of art itself."

The car raced only once, in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1979, driven by Manfred Winkelhock (Germany) and the Frenchmen Hervé Poulain and Marcel Mignot. It placed sixth overall and second in class.

Shes got the Looks.

2008-02-12T00:35:00.000-06:00

A student just passed out from a NGO. These students are true exhibiting the art of earning and learning process. Being from a poor financial background they earn their living. Truly inspirational.

School Gathering

2008-02-12T00:15:00.000-06:00

This was shot during a school gathering for a NGO on Independence day. Near Bandra Kherwadi (Mumbai).

Deadly eyes....

2008-02-12T00:09:00.001-06:00

I personally like the blank facial expression on his face, especially I have never seen someone performing so passively. Though he was performing out of his passion but it looked as if he was made to sit and play for the next whole day.

Nach Baliya...

2008-02-12T00:05:00.001-06:00

This wasn't as exciting as any of the performances seen through out the day, a group of Sadhu looking people were playing different instruments and one person among them was dancing with full power and grace. But not much entertaining. Anyway, it was a good sight to click.

Up Streets.

2008-02-11T23:58:00.001-06:00

I had been to Uttar Pradesh - border to collect my bike which was transported from Mumbai to Delhi. It was some good experience to do an interstate biking. The roads were jam packed the sky was filled with eagles, around 1 to 2 lakh eagles flying over my head. The localities told me that this was due to the dumping area in and around the road, where wastes from all over the city is accumulated. The eagle feed on the waste we throw.

Click Click.

2008-02-11T23:54:00.001-06:00

On request he let me take his picture, he was use to camera and photography, but was not aware of posing and all. He had a simple and innocent smile, i guess, he only knew to play his instrument and had done for decades now. Go knows how many artist are wasting their talent all across the world, Bismilla Khan might be one of the greatest performers who got noticed and few remain secluded in there whole world of divine music.

True performers

2008-02-11T23:49:00.001-06:00

An old man, 65+, playing the instrument with his lungs fully expanded. Truly amazing show of his art as it was 7degrees temperature and winds were blowing all over the place. This Rajasthani performer was clueless about anything else, and was playing it devotionally and passionately.

Accompanying

2008-02-11T23:35:00.001-06:00

Musicians accompanying the dancers for Rajasthani folk dance.

Performers...

2008-02-11T23:22:00.001-06:00

Performers performing at their best. Making a lot of people dance.

Diwali in February.

2008-02-11T08:46:00.001-06:00

There were lanterns all over the place as if it was Diwali going on.

Painting of its class.

2008-02-11T08:32:00.001-06:00

These were hand drawn paintings of different lords.

Who painted my wall?

2008-02-11T08:30:00.001-06:00

Beautifully drawn and painted designs on false walls, which create a partition. Generally used to divide the living room into Dining area.

2008-02-11T08:26:00.000-06:00

The whole environment was celebrating in joy and harmony, it felt as if everything is looked upon by Lord Ganesha, who was in a very happy state of mind.

Gathering crowd.

2008-02-11T08:23:00.001-06:00

The dancers were not only good in there art but possesed some good attracting skills. The audience were excited and were getting attracted to dance with them. People therw money in air and it was a celebration environment.

Acrobatic stunt.

2008-02-11T08:18:00.001-06:00

The dancers showed some acrobatic stuff while dancing. the steps were really awesome. The had extreme flexibility.

Wanna bet? Shamaik Dawar!

2008-02-11T08:12:00.001-06:00

The dancing was so elegant and simple that even the greatest choreographer would do dhapofy and won an award for it.

Rajasthani hot babes.

2008-02-11T08:10:00.001-06:00

The dancing models were extremely talented. They were dark, tanned, but had very good features and were hot and sexy. They danced all day long and didn't looked tired at all..... Traditional dancing has got its own flavor...

Traditions.

2008-02-11T08:08:00.001-06:00

A dancer performs in front of the masses to gather money and earn his living.

Nawabi shouk

2008-02-11T08:05:00.001-06:00

From my hearings, in Olden day, the Nawabs use to love men over women, so having a men for sex was more prestigious than any women in the court. The visual might explain more.

Future is ours...

2008-02-11T08:01:00.001-06:00

A typical sight at any funfair. Children were looking into the hollow tin to see their future. I could easily see the owners future.

Mhatari che kes.

2008-02-11T07:57:00.000-06:00

This was the scene at the SurajKund mela in Delhi, a mid age man was making some edible sweet from sugar. he had a accompanist to serve and exchange money.
