Celebration means......
Celebration means......
Hundred bucks of petrol.
A rusty old bike.
And an open road.
Celebration means......
Maggie noodles.
A hostel room.
4.25 a.m.
Celebration means......
3 old friends.
3 separate cities.
3 coffee mugs.
1 internet messenger.
Celebration means......
Rain on a hot tin roof.
Pakoras deep-frying.
Neighbours dropping in.
A party.
Celebration means......
You and mom.
A summer night.
A bottle of coconut oil.
A head massage.
You can spend
Hundreds on birthdays,
Thousands on festivals,
Lakhs on weddings,
But to celebrate
All you have to do is - spend your Time with your loved ones.

I never imagined
When I went to Delhi, the first place I visited with my friend Smruti Ranjan was India Gate. It was fabulous to watch it in the early morning with fog all around. Then later we moved towards Rashtrapati Bhavan, I loved the view of India Gate from their and tried to capture it. The cam I carried has a limited zoom (12x), so couldn't do that from Rashtrapati Bhavan, but I had to take a few steps forward to capture.. I tried from different spots at the end I got a perfect picture at one location and you can see that here..
I follow BBC learning English every week, I have seen a post asking users to post their best photographs representing their nation with a limit of 3 pics per user... so, I though of making a try and posted three photos one is India Gate and second is a Bridge in Haridwar and the last is my self portrait taken in Sankari, part of Himalayas.
After couple of weeks I received a mail from BBC learning English that my pic had been selected for the 2008 Calendar and asked me to send my postal address so that they can send me the Calendar. It was all surprising I never imagined that my photo would be selected for a calendar, It was a joyous moment for me and I had shared it will my friends and colleagues. Special Thanks to my friend Ashok (For lending me his cam).
Cover pic of the Calendar:
This is mine in the month of June.
The full calendar can be downloaded here.It is around 1.6 Mb in size.
If you like the photograph, please leave a comment.

- Change four light bulbs to CFLs at my home.
- Spread a word or educate your family/friends about the importance of renewable products and urge people to follow them.
