My self pod-trait

This picture shot with my N73, is the best self portrait photograph I have ever shot, thanks to the flaring chrome rear of my ipod.

Beyond my head that you see, is the rain gray sky....
Behind the lens that shoots me, is my 'Branded' sky....

Solar - Electricity !?!

It was 6 pm and the client representative was tired of my continuous bugging for Balance Sheet schedules.

"Karthik, I need a break man. Will be back after a tea. Join me?", he asked.

"Its ok sir. Carry on", I too got up to stretch my limbs.

I had been trying to get this guy at the right place but somehow he was escaping from me everyday, in a matter of minutes.

I got ready for the attack. At the exact moment, I pulled out my weapon and fired.
The sun was exactly behind the TNEB hologram.

Though the sun is behind TNEB's inefficiency towards handling summer power cuts, this 'sun being behind TNEB' turned out to be a good one for me.

Cool Circles

Guess these circles.




Hint: Both these mean to contain the same thing. But what one contains, the other does not.

Palli Vizhaadha Palan...

I am sitting in the accounts department of a soft drink manufacturing plant, waiting for the client representative. The guy is testing my patience. I have been waiting for almost an hour now. The thoughts of traveling for 2.5 hours to reach home and having to come again tomorrow, make me feel more uncomfortable.

I feel sick about having to wait, waste time, and work late for no fault of mine. Why should I work like this waiting for people? Why don’t I just go on to do what I want without having to wait for other people?

With these thoughts lingering in my mind, I start looking around the room. My eyes suddenly strike this little fellow.



I remember seeing this lizard at the same place this morning. It has been sticking on to the same place for all this time without moving a muscle. What is he doing there all day long? Who is he waiting for?

Yes…it strikes me now. He’s sticking on because he just has to stick on. He has to stick on to that wall to exist, not to fall till he learns the art of crawling.

Me too..

Marma Desam

When I entered the 'Aayiram Kaal Mandapam' of Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple, I realised that my canon was back in the car. It was then my N73 came to the rescue.

The lighting was bad. Yet I was able to get a decent picture of 'Kaala Bhairavar'.

So here it is after some post production work in Picasa.
