My dear friend Raja visited Pune few days back. We were coming back from Mumbai. On the way I also stopped by at one of my friend and batch mate at college Pravin, who also lives & works in Pune. He had invested in some really chunky and mouth watering photography gear and obviously was very excited about it. Raja’s flight was scheduled to land around 8pm so we decided to eat something before we enter the airport. So we landed at this small shop with a board reading BENGALI in bold and all caps. The guy served good chicken roll. After filling up we reached airport, received Raja and drove to his hotel at FC road. The discussions that started in the car went on through the dinner, until we decided to say bye. It was already 1.00 AM by then. Another eventful & wonderful day went by leaving imprints some mental and some digital.

My 1st Visit to Meerut

2011-01-30T01:17:00.002+05:30

My in-laws have shifted to Meerut so my visit to this historical city was all thanks to them. Though I could see very little of the city, but whenever opportunity presented for having golgappe and chat, I thoroughly indulged. Honestly the taste was just about okay, or may be my expectation was too much. As I have read in history books the city has seen a lot of important historical events. But be informed, you can’t see this city using a 4 wheeler. It has to be a 2 wheeler. So I am looking forward to my next visit and I intent to see the entire city riding a bike. But that would take some time.

The Unusual Visitor

This unusual visitor to my studio took liking to one of my WIP canvases and just wouldn't leave. This green guy with ET looks, kept on walking from one corner to other while I worked on it and also posed for the camera.

It was raining heavily on the Vijaya Dashami. It was sunny all through the Pujo. Everyone took for granted that Dashami would also remain the same way. But the nature had other plans. We also forgot to take the polythene sheets. By the time sheets were deployed everyone was thoroughly drenched.

A View from the Palm Beach Road

2008-05-25T13:52:00.002+05:30

It's a cool drive of approx 12km. But the way builders are violating CRZ (coastal regulation zone) rules, very soon we would have tall buildings on both the sides of the road and the views like this would only be accessible through the windows of those skyscrapers. Who buys these flats don't they have any idea about rules, laws? Or may be they have complete faith in our system where in next few years may be the laws would change. CRZ rules would be scraped. And their building would be legalized. So go ahead, capture a part of the beach, build something before someone else does. Though before you do all this, make sure you have a lot of political and financial muscle. That would help.

Moon with all its patches, still beautiful. Isn’t it?

Jugad

2007-11-12T16:29:00.000+05:30

This vehicle is an amazing innovation by locals of Garh, Gajiabad and Hapur( all neighboring cities of Delhi). It’s a water pump-set fixed on four wheels with an awkwardly placed steering column. This heavily polluting vehicle emits thick dark smoke and carries not less than 30 people on its back. This innovation is aptly called ‘Jugad’ by locals.

2007-11-12T16:19:00.000+05:30

While going to Muradabad I was stuck in a huge traffic jam, which took almost 4 hours to clear. Believe it or not, the time was 5AM.

This diya looks so cool , what say?

Last 12 days I have been moving around in different parts of Delhi. Winter is approaching and though pollution is on the rise, city looks beautiful.

Prithvi Theatre

2007-05-29T23:44:00.000+05:30

We went to prithvi theatre for a play called ‘C for Clown’. The play was very good. Atul kumar and Vinay Pathak were the main leads. Both of them were very good. They kept on interacting with audience. Lot of children also were part of the audience. This could have been a nightmare for theatre actors but they used that also as positive and kept interacting with kids and made them part of the play which was amazing. Joy and Ranbir also were good. Overall a good play to see. Here is a view of Prithvi theatre.

People throw cut and smashed water bottles right in the middle of the road. It can become a photo subject for me but can also spell doom for a bike rider.

Rusting Hovercrafts in Belapur

2007-05-21T10:58:00.000+05:30

This morning Hindustan Times carried a front-page photo of the rotting hovercrafts in vashi. Each one of them supposedly cost in the tune of 6 to 7 crores. Now add two more lying idle in Belapur. It used to cost 150 Rs for a trip from Belapur to Gateway. So what that the time taken was just half an hour, still it was expansive for daily passengers as there were no monthly tickets. These new hi-tech machines are just left in the open to rust. Now what would you call this? apathy?

Matchboxes and Good Architecture. Two sides of the same coin...

End of the day both are just adding to the concrete around us. I guess we need some of them but not as many as we are getting these days.

They are discussing something. Aren’t they?
