awesome threesome

... you'd think we jumped right off a benetton ad ...
L - R : yours truly, Ms. Lee and Mr. Denis. allow me introduce my travel buddies.

king of the desert

I have heard of a horse with no name, but have you heard of a camel named michael jackson?
can you believe my camel was named after wacko jacko. my camel safari was a thriller.

buy the best cock

move over viagra, here is the real deal. buy the best cock.
kinda cheeky isnt it. i couldnt resist shooting this. diwali time in jaisalmer. cock brand fireworks.

designer canon

the mehrengarh fort in jodhpur was amazing and one the best maintained forts i saw during the trip. audio tour was highly informative; exhibits shining like they were new. the pic is actually a cannon, were they trying to camouflage or was it a custom made designer cannon simply to serve as an ornament

omelette shop

this place comes highly recommended by almost all the guidebooks. now i know why. i had the best ever "omelette du fromage". legend has it that he sells more than 1000 eggs a day.

of lakes and sunsets

the monsoon palace in udaipur is famous more for the sunsets than the fort itself. perched on top of a hill, the place is ideal for the birds-eye-view photos. this is probably one of the best pics i ever shot.

"only looky looky, no touch", hmmnn... the guide had a way with words. the lake palace, now a major hotel is really that exclusive with lunch and dinner reservations running a month long.

once upon a time ...

you'd be mistaken if you think there is a slide on the other side of the stairs.

closest thing to heaven

Wah Taj, Wah

Went to see Taj Mahal at 6 a.m. Most people and even guide books would suggest that. but i dont know if this time of the year is best for viewing Taj early in the morning. It was foggy for the best part of the morning, but it was really awesome. wasnt particularly happy with any of the pics i shot. I spent a lot of time on a park bench just admiring the view.
Ok, so here are few things you must not say when you are inside the tomb :
1. "I see dead people !"
2. "Shah Jahan is gay" Oh well, not really, that would be Dumbledore. Shah Jahan was madly in love with his wife. why else would he invest in a bunch of marbles.

answer me that.

spaced out

one of the highlights of my recent contract was the trip to NASA. i had always wanted to be a spaceman. so this trip was very special. it was really wonderful and informative. i took a tram ride around the campus. we went to the actual mission control centre that launched the appollo space crafts. we also saw the training area which had a mock up of the international space station. did you know that the ISS is continuously moving at around 5 miles/sec. it circles the earth 16 times a day. people on the space station get to see 16 sunrises and sunsets. awesome. romantic ? i should think so. somebody pleaseeee sponsor my trip to outer space.

yeah whatever

right then, back to the world of publishing. a fresh start. a new hope. probably a new direction in life. strange enough, i cut short my contract this time. couldnt continue on board. badly needed a vacation. had to think things through. dearth of passion, i suppose. how long before you realise it was not your true calling. juggling my options right now. no doubt something would turn up. till then i should concentrate on the vacation. precious time.
