The Best Photos clicked by me....

Somebody rightly had said.... when the photography bug strikes, there is no stopping.....
These are some of the best photos that i have clicked....
Check them out...



1. The Banks of the River Mandvi, Goa, India




The calm river coupled with tall palm trees and a traditional fishing boat, very beautifully brings out the laid back nature of life amidst breathtaking natural beauty that Goa is so famous for....!



2. Vagator Beach, Goa, India




To date, the best beach that i have seen.... its got just everything that a perfect beach needs to have...!



3. The Church of Saint Francis of Assisi, Panaji, Goa, India




Just have a look at the Gothic Style Architecture of this church.... Awesome!!
Believe me, This magnificent edifice is even better as we go inside.... its a must see for tourists visiting Goa...



4. Waves of the Arabian Sea...Kashid Beach, Konkan, Maharashtra, India




This photo gives a trailor of what becons if the sea is in a destructive mood... the Arabian Sea at its turbulent best at high tide.... a treat to the human eye...
These waves were like only 3-4 feet high.... imagine what it would have been to see the tsunami strike..... Just makes me feel very miniscule in front of nature's might...!



5. Mist of the Sea.....Kashid beach, Konkan, Maharashtra, India




Just loved the setting..... check out the sea mist in the background... One of my personal favourites!!!



6. Queen's Bathing Suite....Sahelion ki Badhi, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India




This photo is one of the first ones I clicked.... Have a look at the reflection in the water.... just makes the photo even more asthetic.... This photo would make a good postcard of the place.... what say??


7. Sunset at Kashid beach, Konkan, Maharashtra, India





The sun setting at Kashid beach... Just brilliant....!!




8. Entrance to Murud Janjira Fort...clicked from inside the fort.. Murud, Konkan, Maharashtra, India





This photo is also one of my favourites.... It reminds us of the medieval ages...
Murud Janjira is an unconquered sea fort surrounded on all sides by water... it is situated at about a half an hour's ferry from Murud town.
The speciality of this entrance is that it cannot be seen by enemy ships until they come into striking distance of the cannons in the fort... thus making the fort impregnable....
In case the ships do invade, there is no jetty at the entrance, which means they cannot be anchored at the fort.... thus unless enemy soldiers set foot on the steps at the entrance, they have no way of attacking the soldiers within the fort.... Just a brilliant defence tactic....No wonder it was never conquered....!!!!

Cheers to life......!!!

Writing this at 1.12 am..... Just couldn't get myself to sleep....Many thoughts crowding my mind...
It was just yesterday, that few of my very good friends met up and we had a night out at a friend's place... It was great fun!!
Thinking about my life till now.... all i can say is its been a pleasure to have experienced all that i have.... the school routines, the fergi katta and the 'gross misbehavior' of my graduation.. :-).
Happy to have had such a great network of friends and so many memorable times to cherish...
It seems so unreal that a month from now, I might never be able to meet people who have had such a big influence in my life till now....
But life throws challenges at you.... and i am at a phase in my life where its gonna change completely.... and I am more than happy to be here!!!
Its strange to experience all that i have done, in the past few days.... the changing attitudes of ppl around me... and that very enigmatic question.... 'Will you come back???'....
At this point of time... i remember that 'Dil Chahta Hai' scene of three friends discussing their future, onlooking a ship in the sea.... It seems so believable.... so true to life....!!!
A community which was always full of life....or fights!!!! hehe..... lies deserted today....
Things change so quick.....
I hope, I keep on experiencing more and have all the fun doing it... just as i have till now....!!
And I am excited and eager to do it!!!
So come on!!..... here I am.... Keep throwing those challenges at me..... and I assure.... I am ready for them..... :-)
