Weekend in Pictures !!!

So like I said in my previous post, here are some more pictures from this weekend !!! Enjoy :)


I knew I was late for the sunrise :) when I saw this :P


I thought I should just sit there and relax, but on second thoughts went for a longer walk!


The temperature was more than freezing point, and snow has started melting, giving way to some very beautiful reflections...


The Milwaukee Arts Museum with its wings still closed


The breaking ice in the Lake Michigan



Reflections like I said...


One of the benches in a park near my apartment...




Came back home and decided to make myself more camera happy ! Took a few pictures at home as well.. like the two above and two below...



And Sunday was a pretty lazy day, like always except that we went out for a Indian Buffet Lunch and then to North Point park...

Ganeshji I got for Gaurav's car...


The Lake Michigan...


That's ice or lets say a part of the Lake Michigan which is frozen as of now, and Gaurav was pulling Deepali and she was just sliding :P


Scary, slippery, and very beautiful... That's how a frozen lake can be...

But the ice is melting... Bright Sun is one of the reasons :)

Some people were far into the lake and enjoying ice fishing... in the background you can see some buildings of downtown Milwaukee... on the extreme left you see some bit of Milwaukee Arts Museum and the third building from the left is my office...


So another weekend is over... like I had said before.. Saturday morning pictures were a very soul satisfying experience for me... My love for B/Ws is increasing with every decent picture that I can manage... I am happy I am able to do more experiments with B/Ws now... Click HERE for a slideshow of some pictures from Milwaukee that you have not seen on Chai ki Dukaan.

and I am currently hooked on to "Bhor Bhayee" from Dilli-6... Shreya Ghosal has sung it beautifully! Oh, and "Genda Phool" too from the same movie... beautiful folk lyrics, and brilliant hip-hop-ish beats... unconventional and groovy !!!

Hope the week starts good for everyone !!! Enjoy :)

  3. Omzi, the pics are simply awesome.
    I can'te beleive it..I'm smiling on a Monday morning. You made my day, dost :)

    Dilli 6, the entire album is outstanding. bahut..bahut time ke baad koi aisa album mila hai jiska har ek gana itna khobsurat hai.
    Being a sufi, classical, folk music lover, I esp love 'arziyan', 'bhor bhaye' and 'genda phool'. Rehman and Prasoon combo rocks :)
