Photo A Day Experiment (PADE) Day10 - Shoes

 Now this is some really unconventional theme. For today's theme Shoes, I checked - rechecked my collection - and I didn't find much of such pics. Then, I found this pic that I shot at Calgary Tower few years back. This photograph not only reminds me of the pics we generally found in forwarded e-mails, but also a famous song from the movie Khamoshi-The Musical - Aj main upar, aasman neeche :), certainly not literally ;)

Aj main upar, aasman neeche
Also, these are my shoes (and yes I am wearing those) and shot through the glass-floor of the Tower. :D

And, I would also like to post another photograph shot during the famous Ganapati Visharjan of Mumbai, 2years back. Though, I am a practicing Hindu Atheist, it's not entirely a satire - but something to ponder upon. This shoe-less foot of religiously and emotionally revered Ganapati tells us how much festivals mean to us but not the people - our own people. It also shouts about hurting the ecology. Well, what else...

A shoe-less foot

    Another awesome entry by Mr. Ghumakkar :) That glass tower photo is amazing, it looked scary and sort of unbelieveable until I read where it was taken.
    The second one does show the ugly face of rituals, sad!

Hoolangapar - Home of Indian Gibbons

Banned Indian Books

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth... Few days back when I came to know about a book on an Indian Business Barron on the Banned Indian Books’ List, the first thing that came in my mind were the lines from Tagore . What an irony, we live in a country, whose forefathers have dreamt about a nation without fear, about a nation with right to speech, right to knowledge; and where the Government enjoys the “privilege” to “freely” ban the books, censor what it feels offensive! Wikipedia describes Banned books as the books whose free access is not permitted. Further it says that the practice of banning books is just another form of censorship, and often has political, religious or moral motivations. In our country, banning books have got its history since the British rule days. In fact, few of the Books ...

Home Quarantined Day - the Last 1

I am not at all getting in to exactly how many days I stay locked in this room. I did not complete the course, neither Dark Season 3, nor the Book and didn't click a lot. I just kept working, on this or that stuff, cold calling people, and watched a lots of movies and web-series. But not Dark S03 - it's too intense; 3 timelines now intertwined with 2 alternate dimensions! I love all these complexities, absolutely, but the series is too heavy. I couldn't complete the course I intended to - was not at all in mood. One day, however, I did set up the camera and the flash and the stand - but like always camera battery died, and I have been too lazy to recharge. A few random shots like the above one and the one below - I didn't do much. But, I kept keeping track of my body temperature and it never crossed the normal number. So, I am good and finally yesterday when Hospital confirmed that "I can live my life", my wife agreed to put an end to this "no-good for an...
