The Moon Makes Men Mad



The moon is probably the most pondered over heavenly object, and it hasn't spared me either

Python



I found this python luxuriously resting in its own coils, showing none of the behaviors that classify this reptile as a fearsome predator.

Mischief



This lioness may be a powerful predator, but I couldn't help imagining it as a mischievous overgrown cat, especially since she was sticking out her tongue at me.

Feline



This has to be the coolest, most regal creature on earth. I took this picture as this tiger was waking up from its afternoon siesta.

Loved



A small rabbit makes itself cozy in a pair of hands, drawing comfort and love from the owner of the hands.

Standing Tall



A clump of Arecca-Nut trees crowd around me as I take this picture of the monsoon sky. With the sun blocked out by the clouds, these trees threaten to block out the sky too.

Drenched



A brief dry spell between the monsoon rains leaves this late blooming flower a little wet, yet colorful among all the greenery around.

Canine Eyes



The eyes, I believe are definitely the window to the soul. Regardless of whether they are human eyes or animal eyes. This picture represents something deeper than 'just' a dog. It brings out the inner animal, so to speak.

Monsoon



There's something really fascinating about driving in the rain. Never mind the reduced visibility and the the dangerous surface conditions. This picture was taken from the inside of my car, while driving in the rain.

Why did the Chicken Cross the Road



The title says it all. The moment i took this picture, I knew it would end up on this blog, and that it would be titled this way.

Gradient



This little village road in Kerala shows just how steep the road is. It gets steeper up the hill, but I did not have a vantage point with a perspective to show the gradient. The house in the background establishes a vertical in this picture.

Rainwater



This picture was taken in between rains during the Indian monsoon season. All it is is a drainage channel by the side of a road, but I find water fascinating. The dance and the drama of water are unmatched by any other subject.

NH 47



National Highway 47, between Ernakulam and Thrissur. Technically, according to international standards, this is a one lane road. But Indians don't believe in wasting any resources, which means that this road occasionally becomes a four lane road, and on very rare occasions, it becomes a three lane road, all three going in the same direction. If you can drive in India, you can drive anywhere else in the world.

Ambassador



Kerala, as seen from the window of an Ambassador. For those who know the Ambassador, no additional explanation is needed. For those who don't, no words can capture the feeling.

Airplane Advisory



The contrast between the glossy finish of the decal and the textured seat back of this airline sight grabbed my attention. It also made me wonder if anyone actually reads this, though they definitely see it.
