Success

Generally, any graphical representation wherein the graph is moving up is taken as success or progress, so thats why I've tagged it so. The snap had been clicked in the Mehrangarh Fort, at Jodhpur (Rajasthan).

Signature

I was at Lake Foy Sagar, the picturesque artificial lake near Ajmer (Rajasthan) when I clicked this one. It was not the boat that attracted me, but the way the name of its owner was written in its front. How people abandon their belongings but leave behind their imprints on them, only for people like me to find them later.

Alive

There are only few things that always stay vibrant. Whatever be the weather, the water always is alive. I love this tendency of water, and its something I love to stare for hours. This is Anasagar Lake in Ajmer (Rajasthan). The white marble Bara-dari on the Anasagar Lake is exquisite. This historic man-made lake was constructed by Maharaja Anaji (1135-1150 AD), the grandfather of Maharaja Prithviraj Chauhan.

Remnants

Remnants of a tree eaten by termites. I was in Deer Park, Pushkar, when I located this one. Somehow, liked it, and well, what else I had to do than to click it...?

Catkin

When I was in school at Kota, I had a group of four, and we named it CatKiNS, after the four of us. Today, when I had to name this snap, I knew it couldn't be anything other than Catkin. I was in Deer Park at Pushkar, looking for some deers, when I found this one catkin hanging down the plant, obstructing my view. So, guess no need to mention, this snap is dedicated to that group which taught me the real dimensions of life.

Ripples

I'm always attracted to the beauty of ripples. They are a distinct type of wave. And I'm not gonna enter the world of Physics to explain why I hold such a view. It was dark, and I had to use flash to click this snap, therefore, there is a specific lighting effect in this snap.

Now since I did not know where the next rain drop would fall, so like most professional photographers, this is not that good a capture of the real beauty of a ripple. Till the time I click a better one, let this be it.

Pace

This snail is very small, at max one centimetre long. I didn't know snails were found in Ajmer unless I noticed this one climbing up the side wall of the lawn, coming out of rain water stagnated there. Its a mysterious animal: Small and Slow, I donno how it even manages to have a stomach full every night before going off to sleep in its very own custom created abode, a spiral shell into which the whole body can be withdrawn. They are soft bodied invertibrates having antenna like eyes. Look into the snap above and you'll be able to locate them in the front, standing above.

After gaining some knowledge from Wikipedia, I've come to know its a pulmonate land snail. This specie which is found in gardens is anthropophilic, that is, found most often around human habitation. The easiest part of clicking him was that whatsoever may happen, it could not run away from me; and the hardest part was that it was so small that to click his features properly I had to bring my lens too close to him, and the moment I did that, it went inside the shell. Frustrated for not having been able to click a front pose, I rather got satisfied with a side pose... Yep! The snail running its pace!!!

An Inch More

First of all, I must thank that (not exactly) poor shopkeeper in South Ex, New Delhi, from whose shop I took this inch tape (to measure the dimensions of my room windows for which I went to purchase curtains) only not to return later. Now explaining this tag, which is a hard task to be done in all simple terms, I would just say that an inch more makes it 36; and if you haven't yet understood what 36 would mean here, I have nothing more to add.

Hangers

Another pic out of Shivpuri (Madhya Pradesh). What is in focus is a root hanging down a Banyan tree [Ficus benghalensis], as if inquiring when would it reach its destination.

It is only because of my love for these huge trees that made me place this snap upon the blog; donno why, but there's always something mysterious that attracts me to this giant. Its prop roots which grow downwards as slender vine reach the ground, take root and grow into woody trunks that become indistinguishable from the main trunk, as if to start a new unending journey again.

There is another such giant tree within the compound of Rajasthan High Court, at Jaipur, which I wanna click. Lets see, when I get the opportunity to go there not in my black robe, but with my black Nikon.

Sentenced

Anyone who's a lawyer here would understand at first glance that its the snap of a property that has been attached in a civil suit. Usually whenever a property is attached, both the contesting parties have a right to put their own locks to secure the premises. So, you might think the proper tag to be Attached. But I put it at an extreme contrast, as Sentenced.

Why Sentenced? Actually, if we see it from a non-lawyer's perspective, any property once attached has its fate decided already. The fate resides in Courts; District Court, High Court or Supreme Court. At the end, not even the litigants know why were they fighting. Thus, Sentenced!

Mom's Watching!

Its an abstract depiction of a mom who's keeping an eye over her kids. A good mother gives her children a feeling of trust and stability; that is what I've tried to portray here... young kids curious enough to run out of the sight of their Mom, but as it always is- Mom's Watching!

It is a Giant Lily that we recently got from the nursery. I took the pic in the morning sun, as would be clear from the shadows of the pollen-filled stamens. It was hard to focus upon them with bare hands, so used a tripod.

Sunblinds

These are leaves of Erica Palm plant taken from such an angle that they look like the usual sunblinds we put at our windows. Initially I was planning to focus upon the view that can be seen from between these leaves, but then I decided to capture these beautifully distanced leaves, curved in a specific shape to give me the perfect view. For particulars, the snap has been clicked at my home.

Tall, Dark & Handsome

Tall, Dark & Handsome... isn't that whats in demand always? ha ha ha. When I clicked this snap I had no such intention of putting it this way. Then suddenly it clicked me, and so its here! Clicked in the evening, I specifically took the sun as background to give this tree the blackout effect.

Stairs

This pic is a preconceived idea materialized into reality too late. I always wanted to click something like this, but never had the opportunity of finding something suitable. I was in Mehrangarh Fort Museum (Jodhpur) standing under this staircase when my friend who had already half climed the stairs called me; rather than clicking her I clicked this...!!

Marriage

There are two heads tied together (thats Marriage!) and they face in different directions (not facing towards each other) which is the reality of Marriage.... People stay together, but do they want to stay together?
