This is my 100th Blog Post- Will Continue my "Journey" rather "Blogney"

This is one real long journey for me considering that i started blogging from May of 2007 and achieving the 100th Blog Post again in the Month of May but the year is 2012... Again this is a very strange coincidence..

 001st Blog Post        May 2007
100 th Blog Post        May 2012.

Need to admit one fact that i restarted rigorously from Dec 2011 only.

From May 2007 to Nov 2011, the total blog post created by me were only 19.

From Dec 2011 to May 2012, the remaining 81 posts were created.

Am using the word "CREATED" and not "WRITTEN", simply because, using the word "created" gives me a sort of "HIGH Feeling".:-). Hope you all understand that am not try to brag myself..but it's a feeling...

Need to thank my Wife for the push she gave me to restart this blog or else i wouldn't have been here..

Need to convey my thanks to the "Entire Indiblogger Family" as without their regular comments and feedback, i wouldn't have reached this state.

Thanks to you team.

Will continue my "Journey" rather "Blogney"

My Experiment-Part 6-Riot of Colours

This is Part 6 on my various "so called", "self proclaimed" experiments with light and these photos were shot using Apple iPhone on my last visit to Marina Beach, Chennai, Tamilnadu.

As i was totally indulged in taking these shots by shaking the phone-camera, had some intriguingly looking spectators as well, with a puzzled look in their face as to what on earth this guy doing by shaking his phone!!! Happily enjoyed that as well..


This scene made was the base visual for the below photos and hence the yellow color is predominant  in them

One of many things i like about Indiblogger

One of the many things that i like about the Indiblogger site is that :

During login, the way the password "*" appear with a space in between each characters is really good.

The reason for saying so is that during login in various other sites, the "*" appears without any space and at times i do tend to type the password at a speed which makes to recount the number of "*" but counting them is one hell of a task.

Really appreciate the development team behind this who had looked into small things like this which  is really a user delight..

Thanks Team.

Water-Future Market or in Commodity Trading in the Share Market?

This is in continuation to my earlier blog on "Water Scarcity", the below pictures resembles me of the same but from an Urban Perspective in contrast to my earlier blog which was more of an Rural situation.

Water has become an business commodity today rather than an "Basic Human Right" to live... But am waiting for the day when the same would be traded the same way Gold/Silver and other commodities are being traded in the NCX market??!!! ...Praying God on Not to have that kind of an situation...

The photos below shows the water containers waiting to be SOLD...

But if we have an reverse perspective view, the "plant pot" at the fag end of the photo and the way the water containers are kept in a straight line - Seems to me that these containers are being used to WATER THAT PLANT??!! IS THIS WHAT FUTURE HOLDS FOR US...

The ground water levels are so depleted and contaminated with all kinds of toxins, and the future seems to me that, plants and trees would only be in the museums around the world for our generations with water cans lined up to water the on regular basis..

GOD FORBID AND GOD SAVE US...

An Experience Called Life

Am actually puzzled, excited and amazed at certain numbers and relation of the same in my Life.

Got my first 2 wheeler in the year 1995 and it was a Bajaj Sunny with registration number - TN 09 - 7102

Gave it off in 1996 and bought myself a Suzuki Samurai with reg number as TN 09 - 3721.

Samurai was part of me for almost 10 years till 2006, this guy was with me through all my ups and down and hence i have a sentimental attachment with this guy and still have him in my garage.

Fulfilled my long cherished dream of owning an Yamaha - RX 100 in 2006. After a long combing operation in the second hand market and the "For Sale" ads given by individuals in papers, zeroed in on one Yamaha and the registration number was TN 09 - 1177. The pure coincidence was that the registration number was my  date and year of birth. 11/77.

Then graduated to a 4 wheeler in 2008 and got myself a Wagon R.

Got married in 2010 and wanted to gift my wife a 2 wheeler and hence purchased a Scooty Streak in 2011 and to my astonishment.. you guys know what..

It had the same registration number as my FIRST VEHICLE -  7102.

Both myself and my wife were puzzled/excited/astonished etc..etc...

Hope this is what is coined as " We don't know what future holds for us!!"  

Marina-Beach-By-Night

Last weekend went to the Marina with my family and my Nikon P80 was not with me---Unfortunately.
