2009 in Pictures – May
Visit to the Memory Stick Town!
Kingston is a name that I have heard only in reference to memory sticks or thumb drives, or USB drives or Pen drives as the janta calls them… an opportunity to visit the place with that name had a different sort of excitement for me… I was feeling very similar when I went to Cherokee too!!!
Kingston has nothing to do with the brand, I guess, and there is not much you can do in the town… You can be in Jail, it has a biiiig correction centre, or you could be in the Queens University, or you could be working in one of the local market places in the city! Pretty laid back, and a relaxed place to be in, with its own set of excitements too I am sure!
The rest below, along with the pictures…
The change of driver pit-stop some 20 miles before the US-Canadian Border. I was driving Jas’s Shwanda so far!!! I love that white car… it is so similar to my palio!
And then we walked towards the downtown…
I also saw one of the best beautiful sunsets in a very long time at the Lake Ontario that evening!!!
The next day we had to leave Kingston by 1 to catch my flight back… and because I woke up pretty late, there was not much we could do… So we hung around the apartment, while I took a few photographs…
My flight from Syracuse was delayed by an hour, and that made me miss my connection to Milwaukee. I enjoyed my complimentary stay in Holiday Inn, Newark that night, and took the first flight out on Monday. Though I had to wake up at 4:30 in the morning, I was still ok.
In short, this weekend turned out to be very relaxed, de-stressing and refreshing.
One more to the list of memorable trips I have made! Thank you Jas! thank you Uncle!
And I almost forgot… last weekend was the first time, I signed some of my work! A huge moment of satisfaction for me as a photographer!!!!
and today, Jas gave Diane two prints as well!!! 🙂 I am glad!
Black Yellow Pink and Blue… oh and some green too!
This weekend was fun!!! Saw some really good movies..
Transformers (must be the 5th time I saw it)
Pineapple Express, and
Groundhog Day (loved it)
and spent a lot of time watching clips from old Hindi comedies and Amir’s Coke Ads kyonki kurta to shareer ke upraard ki lajjanivaran ke liye hota hai na sir !!!
Also finally gave two B/W rolls for developing and scanning… they should be back in a week’s time… really looking forward to the results!
Got two more rolls…
Of good tires and driving…
A good lens are the 4 wheels you drive on
Change any of these, and you do not improve as a driver
but change any of these, and your drive has a potential to improve
if you are a bad driver, does not matter you drive a Maruti 800 or a Mercedes SLK, you are going to fkk them up equally bad! SLK might just last a li’il longer though!
Enjoy some views from my test drive today!
Flowers !
Sahil : I sent you flowers !
Sahil : Oh, because I love you and because you told me you were not feeling too well and because you are alone there…
Purvi : How many times do I need to tell you that I don’t want you to send me flowers? I think they bring bad luck to me
Sahil : I am sorry but you were not well for the last few days and I could not think of something else…
Purvi : Whatever !
Sahil : Anyway, but the hotel that you told me you were staying in, says that there is no one called Purvi checked in there…
Purvi : Oh, yea, I checked out ! forgot to tell you !
Kuarterly Kleaning !
The ones that add value, Stay
The ones that don’t, they go away
Call it a 3 monthly cleaning of the mind ! Its a tricky situation to be in because I get into a very critical and analytical mode where I question myself a lot, and at times feel bad about doing certain things or not doing them ! However the end result is usually a “sunny spring” after a “cold winter” kind of a feeling !!!
As as result of this quarter’s activity, the working out sessions at home have stopped and I have joined a gym which started well yesterday with about a mile of running and some free weights!
There is a lot more going on the li’il brain of mine…. later maybe !
Tandem Random Tags ! (for the Old Love for Old Delhi)
Bindu tagged me sometime back and here are the rules :
1.pick the 6th picture from your 6th photo folder (I chose to pick it from the 6th Set on Flickr. Here are the rest of the sets)
2.tell the story around it. (sure… below)
3.pass it onto 6 other people. (umm… I would let the people chose if they want to do this)
so here is the photograph :
And here is the story:
Chandni Chawk and the lanes and bylanes and the whole place has something that attracts me to it… I can’t really put my finger on one reason, but it can be anything between the food that I get to eat there, or the old Delhi Character I see, or the warmth of the people that I meet while walking around on the streets, or the integrity of the place even though there is so much varied which happens all around… Not to forget the fact, that he has one of the largest Spices market, Trophies Market, Dry Fruits Market, Cotton Market, Wedding Cards and Paper market, Hardware and Sanitary Market all in the viscinity !!! In addition to this flower market offcourse !!!
And here are a few more photographs from the same place…
Oh, and this valentines, why don’t you go out with your loved one and do something for the not so loved ones !!! I am sure spreading some love can have a completly new meaning if you can afford to spend your time and money for people who really need some love !!! I have nothing against the roses, and cards, and other natak’s that happen on this day ( ok, I have something against them :P) but mostly I feel that this one day can be utilized much much better in many many more ways… unless Romance with each other is on the top of your list 🙂
A Few New Colors…
