My Super Hero!!




An Artists Impression!!

what his story?

On my way to office I watch this middle aged bald guy sitting alone on a corner of a construction site having breakfast while facing the wall with a group of his colleagues eat in group. What is his story?

All of us have our own stories. But sometimes in the daily grind of life, the essence of the story gets lost.

PS: Celebrated durga puja with anurag yelling in background and reminding me how an agarbatti can douse the whole apartment in fire. What's his story ??

Kim Clijsters

I am so happy for Kim. Something about the pictures of her baby walking forward to touch the trophy is so damn cute.

Many times than not, women have thoughts about quitting the rat race and taking it easy at home with their family. But after spending a few years off, many do want to return. Kim has showed its possible. Surprisingly, in a physically intensive game like tennis. I guess its all about the passion and dedication.

When she came back, she was "starting from zero," she said. The work to get back in shape was not pretty.
"No swear words like Serena yesterday, but a lot of swearing at home," Clijsters said.}

Oh, I am sure...

US Open - Check

Ever since I came here 3 years ago, I have always wanted to attend the US Open. I am not a big tennis fan. But US Open is like Niagara falls. Every Indian who comes to the US has to visit the falls. Similarly, every Indian has to attend the US Open.

Anyways, enough of my ranting. Now to the US Open visit. It was fabulous. I had never watched so much tennis in my life that I watched in one whole day there. We had taken a day pass so we could visit all the stadiums till 7:30 pm. The atmosphere was awesome. There were so many people. The energy in the stadium was electric, especially during the Venus Williams and Kim Clijters match. We got to see the Williams Sisters, Nadal, Sania Mirza and who not....

For those of us who are not hard core tennis fans, there were other things to interest us. Like the free giveaways : we got a radio thingy from Amex, some hand fans etc...And the camera kept me busy like nothing else.

Some of my shots of Nadal :
