चार दिन की चांदनी...

I am feeling tired right now...

Because of the tiring weekend that just went by... It was kinda nice though... I need to write about it soon...

And because of people who cannot keep their word... An incident, and words pour... another incident, a few more words and a few days later... everything back to where it started from...

Hindi mein kehte hain na... चार दिन की चांदनी, फिर अँधेरी रात... this phrase makes me smile always :) dunno why...

Now, what makes my being tired irrelevent is the good news that one of Bindiya's articles is now a part of IGNOU's Course Material for a Diploma Course in Displacement and has been published along with some big names in the field of Resettlement and Rehabilitation... Good work Girl !!! Murari is proud of you !!!

Isn't it nice that Uncle God usually packages the not so good stuff with something to smile and and cheer for... Thank you God Uncle... Let me be blessed :) ok, a few more people I like as well...

Words and Stills in ONE?

Have been thinking of merging the two blogs that I have...

So everything that goes on Behind the (*-*) Lens will now be posted on Chai Ki Dukaan... and that would mean, atleast one picture in a couple of days here...

thoughts?
ideas?
suggestions?


While you are thinking, here are some of the pictures that flickr thinks are the most "interesting" pictures I have taken...

What makes me happy is that the first picture is from my first trip with the dSLR to Orchha, and the second is a picture that I had taken a looong time back when I started thinking about taking photography seriously... Both of these pictures are very special to me, and I am glad to see them on the top still...

The rest are from a trip to Agra, McLeodganj, Pondicherry, Chattisgarh, Banaras, Moradabad, and Red Fort :)

And what makes this selection interesting is that it has 5 pictures from my trip to Chattisgarh where I went with Bindiya and Manas Da for the PMU Evaluation workshop and 1 picture from Sankalp, Moradabad... I would like to believe that I was at my best when I was doing these shoots for and with ASK... thank you Bindiya and ASK for giving me the best reasons to have a camera with me...
