Melting moments

VJ ::

location: Fusion 9

Date: 4th April 2009

Occasion- My friend's daughter's first birthday

Loved this picture because previously one of my friend's had taken a similar picture and I was wondering how he could get such a picture, now when I captured a similar image, I know for sure how he did it. Believe me, its as simple as saying- 'Light off- Camera- Focus'...

Shillu :: For those of you who have been checking our blog and encouraging us - Thank you for your patience in putting up with us. We promise to be regular from June onwards. Life has been hectic working across time zones. Here is a beautiful wall clocks display at work.

Congratulations

Its been a great week! First- VJ got promoted. Then,

A R Rahman wins the Oscar for his music in Slumdog Millionaire*.

!!Congratulations VJ & A R Rahman!!

*I am a die-hard fan of Rahman & I like the music of SM. However, I think he has composed much better music than SM- read as Roja, Donga Donga(Thiruda, thiruda in Tamil), Vande mataram etc., I am not complaining, at the end none of those movies would have earned him this honour as they would only qualify in the foreign film category. I am so happy that he won such a well deserved award!!

JAI HO!!

Detour

VJ :: Standing by The Thames - on a chilly winter afternoon, I was admiring the way this walking path is designed and the way a row of lamp posts are adorning the path. Simply superb- was my first reaction.

Shillu :: The building peeping through these two buildings is my office. I have taken this pic from across the road. There is a small lake in between the road & the buildings which cannot be seen in this picture

Time for a walk?

VJ :: Walking- I love to walk. Especially, when the weather is pleasant and there is a light breeze, its a complete package. I was on roads again with my camera and this is what I captured. On my way from Buckingham Palace to underground station, I found this embedded on to the road. Until then, I saw every passer by walking past this not paying attention, but as soon as I took a picture,people that followed me, stopped here for a moment to see what it was and take pictures. This embedded structure gained instant fame.

Shillu :: I am back from a whirlwind trip where I covered some 1500 miles in 3 days by train (a "super fast" express that was perpetually late). This is what I feel like doing now, laze in a nice pool without any care in the world. This picture is taken at a resort where my team went for an outing.

Red & Pink

VJ :: ' Spicy'. Red chillies have been my favourite subjects for sometime now. They appeal to me and now, my camera too. I took this picture on my first visit to Borough Market in London. My colleagues at office told me that, if I was interested in food photography,I must to go there.

Shillu :: Flowers brighten any girls day, they brighten any room. I love decorating my house with Flowers in Urli's/urn's. This tiny urn is on my desk in front of a couple of God's idols. I try and decorate it with flowers everyday. It brightens my desk & I love the freshness and color it brings to my busy desk. You will see more of my Urn n flowers pics in the days ahead.

Random Pictures

VJ :: A random stranger watching the boats go by near the Millennium Bridge near the TATE Modern Museum in London .

Shillu :: This is my 4 year old bamboo tree which is a gift from one of the guys I trained at work. According to fengshui this brings luck when gifted. When I received it, it was just 4 inches tall. Look at it now! It adds a refreshing touch to my desk at work.
