Co-existence

Even we are educated and we also look up Google. So, please don’t teach us… thundered Ignoramus 1. We want him captured and sent back to where he belongs , shrieked Ignoramus 2. As the room was filled by the shrieks and sounds of these 2 gifts to mankind, my mind drifted to a very powerful monologue by Amitabh Bachchan in Agneepath, ( the original one). Amitabh in his rich baritone voice explains to the erstwhile Commisioner of Police the food chain in the jungle. He ends the powerful monologue with the line sher bhediye ko chabaa jaata hai., stating the obvious that in the jungle the Lion is King. But here in the real world, the poor sher and cheetah are no match for the all powerful  aadmi in the cities. Its a fact!

Corrupting the Corruptible

28112009414-1Early morning cycling is great fun. While it burns the kilos ( at least I hope it does), it also gives me the chance to scream my guts out at errant drivers, BPO cars, pedestrians, transport vehicles, autowallahs and motorcycle riders. No one is spared as I take on the role of the holier than thou vigilante spewing venom on every mistake I see people make.

Photoshoot at Powai

With the world environment day round the corner, Ankeet and me decided to have a photo shoot a few days ago to explore the natural beauty that surrounds Powai. I remember hearing stories about the place being a jungle many years ago and how most autowallahs refused to even come here. 20 years of continual construction ( and some might say too much of it)  has changed all that. However, like they say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and some stunning shots we did manage to capture. So here goes a few captures from the land that was once a jungle.

While these photos have been taken by me, credit for most of these is to be given to Ankeet, without whose mentoring these wouldn’t have been possible.
