The Second Attempt

Well, this is my second attempt to blog! My first attempt failed miserably for no valid reasons that I could quote here, except for the fact that I myself didn't feel to read my first post the second time. It dates back to 2004, and now am here for my second trial with enough knowledge and experience on blogging! :-)

Kerala Travelogue

Image
Whilst 2009 has been an year to be remembered for the bitter and sweet experiences in my personal and official life (who would forget the recession), 2010 though not even 2 weeks old has been filled with special moments till this minute as i write this blog.  I welcomed 2010 at the god's own country Kerala with my 4 other friends, I purchased my personal laptop, I used my DSLR to capture few photographic moments and most of all this blog which am gonna publish for the first time. The Trip After quiet an analysis and planning we settled for a trip that would cover Allepey,Adhirapalli and Cochin in Kerala. Starting off from Tiruppur, the travel to Alleppey by car was 7 hours, but our initial guesstimate was to reach by  4 hours. We reached there by 7 pm on the 1st of Jan (friday). Though we had our apprehension of not finding a room owing to the long weekend coupled with new year, fortunately ...

Singapore Blues

Image
I was to Singapore recently on an adhoc personal agenda. It was a very very short trip of not more than 2 days, still I managed to meet couple of my friends for a 'mini' rendezvous and click few photos. Based on my very short experience, my short description about Singapore would be 'Impeccable'. The reason I say impeccable is because no body faults in keeping the city clean, the city is clean as hound's tooth. Out of my limited globe trotting experience I have never seen any place as clean as this (considering the fact that Singapore has more immigrants, especially from India ;-) ). Some of the clicks!!! Of course, how can I not capture a sky scrapper in Singapore!! :-) Recently constructed Marina bay towers.  The Singapore eye in the night My first tilt shift experimentation. Other Random shots. And finally I bought a tripod and lens filter for my Camera, none of these above were taken using a tripod anyways.

Book Review - The Japanese Wife (Kunal Basu)

Image
Though my reading habit is 7 years old, I have never opted the short stories. Short stories, may be short but the experience and thrill is no lesser than what you get out of novels. Of course novels have their own interesting elements. Anyways coming to the point, I happened to choose this collection of 12 short stories ”The Japanese Wife” (- written by Kunal Basu) on the recommendation of my friend. The first story itself is titled the Japanese wife and the rest of the stories doesn’t have any relevance to Japan or its wife and i still can’t decipher why the book has been given the title. Nevertheless, when i finished the first story I knew that the rest of the stories are something not to be missed for sure. The moment I finished one story, I would smile, relish the ending and can’t wait to open the next one. All stories are about the un-expected, the author surprises you at the end no matter how he starts the narration, it may be featurless or spicy in the beginning but you g...
