I hate this!

There are 3 types of Indians, and all these three types show a lot of differences in their attitude and behaviour. 

Ten on Tuesday - 1

I'm already inspired to write Ten on Tuesday, after reading those beautiful posts of Shilpa.  With so much of inspiration overflowing into me, I jump into this series presenting my first TT.  It is going to be a visual treat for you! So go ahead and enjoy my top/favourite 10 captures (not in any particular order)!!! 

Each of these pictures have a little story behind and they are close to my heart on all possible means!

This is my first attempt on good photography.  It's only after seeing this picture, I realized the presence of photo bug in me!

I waited for hours in a zoo to take this shot.  And that parakeet was not co-operating with me at all.

 

I have the habit of carrying my camera everywhere I go.  Because I don't want to miss anything that is beautiful.  I was carrying a week's load of vegetables and other food products when I saw this glowing sunset and its reflections in water.  And I simply could not leave the place, without capturing it!

Most of my fellow co-chennaiite will recognize this place at the very instant!  This was taken from a moving train in a Sony Erickson mobile phone!

I took 30 + photos before getting this perfect capture, If you notice the 2 bicycles at the far end near the tree.  There were 2 people who were riding their bikes.  And they were chatting and smoking for almost 1 hour, and I had to take 100+ photos to while away my time until I got my moment! 

This is one of the snaps that took me very short time because right elements just fell in place - the mist, the waves and serenity!

My parents and HD have lost their patience waiting for me outside the temple. I decided not to go in unless I get a good snap of this gopuram.  The result of so many scoldings!!

As every hour went by, the small lights dazzle for just 5 minutes.  I spent around 3 hours to get this capture. The long wait did not actually seem long.

 

I found this beautiful lily in one of the stranger's house.  And I could not resist myself clicking this.  But with my camera limitations, I couldn't take a macro shot.  So, HD and I went and knocked their door, told them that we are tourist, and had a brief chat, made friendly talks, and then asked her permission to take that picture!

The yellow and green combination was so inviting.  And it's a rare form of tulip!

Navarathri and fun!

I've spoken about Navarathri and its preparations nearly every year (click here for 2008 and here for 2007).  Will that not be unfair if I ignore it this year??

It's hard to say Good-Bye
