ABC Wednesday Round 7: U is for Urchin

U is for Urchin, which means a kid in rags.

We met this boy at Lansdowne, Uttranchal, India, a hill station, there were many pahari kids like him in that small hamlet. When he followed us he asked for chocolate, my friend bought one for him and I clicked him. The smartass also wished to see his picture. Just wish this 'hotson' becomes something in his life. Childhood is really precious.

Not really a sky or is it. Well, I clicked this one on my way back home from my office. It is a big park usually have football (soccer) matches or cricket matches or people just jog around in morning or in evening. Now, what really prompted me to click was this giant floodlight which got itself hidden in smoke emitting from burning of few dry leaves. It was a hard day and I sat down clicked few pictures for relaxation and it really soothed me off, although it was a pollution.

And further it is my 50th post in this blog. Thank you all for appreciating and criticizing my work

G for Ganges: ABC Wednesday Round 6

G for Ganges, yes one of the holiest (and like many others dirtiest) rivers of the world. This is actually a tributary of that river which is know as Bhagirathi. It flows through the State of Uttrakhand beyond converging into the great river. This picture was taken in June 2007 when we (me and my friends) went to Rishikesh (a city in Uttrakhand) for Camping and White water rafting. One of the most enjoyable trips of the life. We were camping in the banks of this river and it was an awesome experience to actually feel the river. It was just like being back to the cradle of the mother.
