The Rich Dawg

Have you ever seen a dog with his personal throne? A big black seat with super luxury? Well… I have. Here, have a look at it.

Luxury on streets! Now I am only waiting for dogs to become drivers. They are already on the seat. All they need now is a steering wheel and some pedals and a gear.
I shot this photograph near my college with my Nokia E51.

Marine Drive

For the Pakistan Home Stay program all the seeds in Mumbai had to select an area in Mumbai and click the pictures of that area. I chose Marine Drive. Now a little bit on Marine Drive for those who haven’t visited Mumbai. Marine Drive is a 3 km long boulevard in South Mumbai. The road links Nariman Point to Babulnath and Malabar Hill. Marine Drive is situated over reclaimed land and the bay is part of the Arabian Sea. The road is lined with palm trees. At the northern end of Marine Drive is Chowpatty Beach. This is a popular beach famed for its Bhel puri (local fast food). The wide footpath is a jogging track for many joggers. Early in the morning people come to Marine Drive for jogging, walking and exercising. Many hotels dot the drive, most prominent among them being The Hilton Towers (formerly the Oberoi), The Intercontinental, Hotel Marine Plaza and a few other smaller hotels. It is also know as the Queen’s Necklace because if viewed at night from an elevated point anywhere along the drive, the streetlights resemble a string of pearls.

I woke up at 6 am in the morning and went there with my dad. I clicked many pictures; all on my own. Seriously. Only a little bit of help from my dad about positioning. I have only uploaded a few pictures worthy of showing them to you all. Here is where you can see my pictures.

I am sure you have the time to leave behind a comment or two on how the pictures were. Can I chose Photography as my career? Never mind that. My mind is very unstable.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

It has started raining in Mumbai!
Rains give relief from the hot summer Sun, but this rain is getting just too much.

It was a sunny Sunday when I had my English test. The sun was shining brightly till around 7; but after that it started raining heavily. I put on my favorite raincoat on and left my house at 8:30 AM. It was still raining. I reached safely to the place where I had to give my test. The test was easy and I think I can score well in this paper. The room in which I was seated was sound proof and so I could not hear the sound of even a single raindrop. When the paper got over and I walked down the stairs slowly with my sad face (we got our Science mark and I did not score well). It was still raining; and this time it was heavier than ever before. I got a reason to put on my favorite raincoat again.

I started walking slowly towards my house. And there lay a mini Venice ahead of me. I did not have a gondola and had to walk the whole distance down with my folded pants and my new pair of shoes in my hand. This was my worst experience with rain till now. As I dragged myself closer to my house the water level went on increasing till it reached my waist. Against my will, I had to walk in the muddy rainwater. I would have stepped on every possible thing that I would never even think of stepping without the rainwater.

Below are some pictures of my experience with the rain with my Sony Ericsson Z550i

Mini Venice

Almost a river

The whole bike is underwater

People waiting for the waters to retreat and a helpless security guard
