MAKE THE BIGGER MOVE HERE
Sometimes we see that some things are moving. But we don't see what makes them move.
A moment to appreciate what moves us, is as important as moving itself.

I am sure when you read the title, you thought it would be a cute little bimbo reading the news on TV. Sorry to disappoint you.
Well this guy was so intense reading the paper, that even when I was within 3 feet of him to take this photo, he did not budge. Nor did he hear the click. I wonder what news item kept his interest.

BLACK RIDE
The word Safari in English, became "Savari" in Tanglish (Tamilian English) and is used very often by people. Here this guy's job is to provide "Savari" (a ride) to customers on the beach.
Being an overcaset morning, he was not so lucky.
Hope his luck changes by my posting of this picture.

The scene at the Embankment Park around 9PM. On our way back from 17+ mile ride on the canal. And thanks to our wonderful friends who invited us over for BBQ party; we would have missed this scene had it not been for the party and biking.

AN ANGEL, EVEN ON BLACK
The gods must have sent her. She was beaming early in the morning. She was so friendly to me, my daughter and my friends. She happily posed for a photograph.
And after I clicked I realized she was beautifully positioned in front of the famous temple in Mahabalipuram. Sometimes its better to be lucky than smart :-)

GREATER JOY HERE
My little girl was insisting that she come with me at 4:00 am for the sunrise. She even asked me to charge her camera and keep it ready so she can capture the sunrise.
As we started our journey at dawn... she was still sleepy in the car. After our traditional chai at the road side shop prior to sunrise, we set up camp at Mahabalipuram beach waiting for our solar friend to rise.
As luck would have it, there were so many clouds and it was an [...]
