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.

Lamp



Although this picture is obviously of a lamp mounted on a wall, I cannot get the word 'sentinel' out of my head when I look at it. The lamp itself is beautifully created with a wrought iron frame and glass panels.

Glazed



I took this picture of one tile among thousands on a wall of a swimming pool area. The level of detail that goes into making a single tile is amazing; though each tile seems inconsequential in itself, it lends to the beauty of the bigger picture. Something like humans I guess.
