Cloud Highlighter

Winters are here and this year I am not liking the winters, probably because I have become more outgoing. And winters ensures that you remain in home, inside those extra layers. And that is the excuse I have this time for not shooting :) And, who says life is easy, atleast it is not easy for me, my work timings are back to normal which means I have to get up early at 6:30 AM to reach my office instead of getting up at 9 AM, which was my time for last 9 months.


Now, the best thing I like about winters is the punjabi breakfast i.e. Makke ki roti (bread of corn) with home-made butter and sarso ka saag (a mustard dish). This breakfast is very heavy especially the butter, which is raw butter but who cares, even if I have to run 5 miles after eating, no issues at all :).


Check the picture below, I call it Cloud Highlighter. The original picture is just about cloud, but Photoshop gives it a new dimension and it feels like someone has marked the clouds with a highlighter.

Happy Diwali

After all the lifelessness, I am back. Diwali, hindu's main festival, is over and I enjoyed it very much. Infact, I enjoyed the holidays (4) more than Diwali. That is because of my allergy to smoke and dust; the popular culture is to burst crackers that not only cause noise pollution but also cause air pollution.
And in past week I was all busy to get fix my laptop, it crashed and bringing it back was not that easy. Now, that is the price you pay of being exclusive and brand concious, had it been any other laptop, I guess I would have fixed it pretty quickly but with my VAIO it was not that easy. Especially, with all the hacks I had applied, it became more difficult but thankfully it's over now and my laptop is prefect now.

Now, unfortunately my artillery i.e. camera is still not with me and I have missed catching Diwali on my camera.
Here's a green one this week:

Fall of Niagara - this is where all the water from Niagara falls go !!!
