Dhund



Dilli kee sardi, uff! Hay mera pyara Dilli :(
Another one of the great shots taken from the balcony of my room in H4 Hostel at JIIT. One cold winter morning. I wonder how I gathered the courage to venture out in the cold so early in the morning!

Testa



This picture is taken from inside the tunnel at the Testa River Hydroelectric Power Station Project. The most amazing piece of engg I have ever seen. This construction varies from the normal ones. Here they do not build a dam, the water doesnt need to be stored up. The flow in the river is of such a great magnitude that they dont need to build a dam. A new approach is used here, they make a tunnel in the mountain and mid way in the tunnel they fit the turbine. So the water is redirected into this and the natural normal flow of the water is sufficient to run the turbine and generate 750KW of power. And since there is no dam involved, 5 or 7 such tunnels are being constructed on the Testa river at different points. The thing is totally environment friendly!

Im lucky to have been able to see this, this is not a tourist spot! How I got in is a different story! The tunnel was so so huge. Amazing

Testa River, Sikkim!

Small Kiddie



Oh, I always loved capturing children on camera. There innocence, uff. You can tell em taht you are taking their picture and they still act so natural with no camera consciousness at all. Love it!

Took this pic in JUIT during the class trip for the workshop!

Prince of Kulu



Adi, this guy is the prince of kulu. No i aint kidding he really is. He is from teh royal family of kulu. Great guy, so down to earth, I never cud av guessed it and he never told me. Great shot, natural!

Jackie



Seen in the pic from left to right are Harpreet Singh, Me and Anirudh Wali. You guyz must know Harpreet Singh Sran from his blog Preet Zinda and Anirudh doesnt own a blog but can be seen as Jack Sparrow in the comments list. The pic was shot when Wali was going home for the first time after his accident. This probably is the first picture taken of him after the accident that nearly killed him. The bugger still doesnt get serious about it. I'm holding in my hands the bag which collects the excretions from his liver with an end of the pipe going straight into his stomach. Check out my long beard in those days!

The Misra



This is Ankit Misra at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib in Delhi on Gurupurab. Just love this picture for the lighting and candles etc. We drove in cold winter night on motorcycles all the way to this place. I think I borrowed Alok's bike to get here, not too sure about that though. Alok's Bike and Misra's bike. Me, Shwait and Ankit came together here!

Dhoobi ghat



Seen in the picture are Piyush Gupta and Shwait Agarwal. Piyush is beating up Shwait into submition. Aparently Shwait was teasing him about a girl as to how Piyush would have funny kids with the girl and how the kids would make fun of their father and not listen to him. :)

The last walk!



The corridors of JIIT. It somehow stands for the last walk in the corridors. The silence and loneliness in here speaks for a lot of things. In the picture is Mr. Nisheet Singh. He always did make a good subject for my photos.

I love snow!





This pic is from Sikkim again, Nathula Pass. It is just wonderful and so so beautiful. I love this place. Someday if I have enough money, then I shall definitely buy a house here.

Wadhwa



One of my favorite teachers towards the end of college life. I did my major project under her guidance. The whole thing was such fun just because of her. Can easily claim that just because of her, I was amongst the few people who had direct access to ordering chemicals, while the others would have to do it through channels, such as make the list and give it to their teacher and then teacher sends it to HOD and ten HOD sends it to Director... blah blah. I was allowed to directly call up the dealer and place the order :)

None in the Dept were as pure of heart as her, and I shall remember her forever.
