Gazing the Sun !

While returning from Jaipur to Ajmer in a local bus, a pink dressed angel sitting (or rather standing) in the front row with the conductor caught hold my attention. It was around 5.30 in evening, the sun was setting down (towards the front window of the bus). The girl was trying her best to gaze at the sun and this is how finally she did it - by encircling the eyes with hands - just like a binocular!

Random Thoughts about Life: Bend you Genius

Random Thoughts about Life:
God to Man- "You work with this tiny little screw and prove that you are genius!! I made it drop on floor full of grit to thwart your ego!"

(While I was working with some hardware and I accidentally dropped a tiny screw which took me about half an hour to find it. It made me bend down at my knees literally!)

The Temple and The Kid

Ever given a thought on the sound produced by temple bells during aarti?

I was out at this artificial lake construction site at and this kid's dad came for a pic. I asked him to stand in from of temple, located nearby since it was giving nice color to background. The first shot I was able to take nicely but it was hard to gather kids attention. And suddenly 7 o' clock aarti started in temple and these are the shots I got. Look at the kid for a moment !! I was amazed to see the expressions of this kid in the last pic - where they are now facing towards the temple - i.e. the temple is at my back.

I made a collage of the pics along with time, just to show the magnitude of attraction from temple bells.
