The clouds were hovering around. But they have been tapped and tamed. No more rains and a nice cool weather these days.

Grids
I liked the silhouette although I can't recollect anything from my engineering subjects about this piece usually found on electrical grids. Do you remember anything?

Cake cream candles
That's my birthday cake. I turned thirty yesterday. The cake was yummy! I hope I get wiser as I turn older! :)

Holding on to the rope
Hold on to the rope and to your hope! You will certainly get much needed hike and promotion, one day! :)
The dark clouds have cleared and I could spot the morning sun from my terrace yesterday! And like a magic the days are no more somber and chilly!

Cold and Cloudy Bangalore
Its winter here in Bangalore. However its been so cloudy that we have been missing the sun badly. The winters have never been so chilling as it has been this time around.
I captured this city landscape last evening. Even the cricket match in Bangalore got interrupted because of light drizzle late in the game!

Red Gown
Two ladies in red gowns! Can you spot them? :)
The home garden at Ankola has so many different flowers, plants, trees, saplings, et al. Overwhelmed! I don't even know the name of this flower! My dad-in-law certainly enjoys gardening!

Three stooges
Look at them. The three of them seem to be liking the day. They remind me of the three stooges. They look happy happy! :)

Nature's water bucket
It rained a lot on my last day in Ankola. Fortunately we had kept no plans of venturing out on that day. Roaming out in the town or on the beach was all done and dusted! So it was time to relax and play some Scrabble!

Weed?
This is an old picture that I am uploading. I had clicked many pictures of these flowers. Actually they are weeds and spread across quite fast. But by looking at the beautiful flowers I would never have thought that they belong to weed category! So there you see - nothing in nature is unwanted!

At the top
The picture is of a kite sitting on a pole on the neighboring terrace. I will post some more pictures clicked on this particular evening. The sky had adorned so many colors although you can see only orange in this frame. It was quite picturesque!

A quiet evening
I had thoughts of capturing some sunset moments in Ankola. Unfortunately this time around it was very cloudy. I couldn't get anything better than this one

Growing up
Growing up, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.
Its a run-of-the-mill picture actually. I did not know that I would upload this one since I keep clicking so many such ordinary pictures. But I somehow like this one!

A scarrry meow
She is looking scary! I would stay away lest I want to be her lunch!
Jokes apart actually she was quite demure and sweet feline! She just appears to be angry which she was not! I love cats and dogs. They are one of the best companions around! Don't you agree?
Sweet Jasmine
In the backyard at Ankola, there are many Jasmine creepers. There is one that is a little different having flowers with purple spots. And they attract lot of ants!
What's brewing up?
So many controversies this time! The central government with its 2G Telecom scam and now the different state gov controversies which began with Maharshtra's Adarsh scam and now Karnataka contributing its share! The CWG scam is already there for months now! Media has been licking its lips.
I composed this shot in a CCD outlet near JNC, Koramangala.
Dragonfly
This time when I had been to Ankola for Diwali I went on a photography spree :) Wish I had a DSLR, lot of lenses and filters! Anyway it did not stop my Canon SX120 from its adventures! :))
I had to run a lot behind this dragonfly and many shots went without much success. Hope this one is decent enough! Notice the yellow reflectors on the wings :)

Diwali and the lights
Alas the Diwali festival got over last week! The diyas, the candles, the colorful fancy lanterns, the lighting across towns and cities, gifts, sweets, Diwali wishes, friends, families, fireworks in the skies and on the streets! This Diwali vacation was fun! But what the heck! New year celebrations are not too far away! Yay!
