haven't yet thought of it..




“There is no happiness for him who does not travel!”
Thus we have heard. Living in the society of men, the best man becomes a sinner therefore, wander! The fortune of him who is sitting, sits; it rises when he rises; it sleeps when he sleeps; it moves when he moves. Therefore, wander! ~ Rigveda
I just follow the advice though don’t have idea about other advices in Rigveda. Yeah, I love to travel and I photograph. I’m having a few extra pounds on me, but that’s not the reason why I follow trekkers and friends. I just love to appreciate subtle poetry between lights and shadows, I click them, I capture them for lifetime! I love to work on the subjects on the streets, also on the stills of nature. It just takes a little long. I also love to appreciate and photograph flora and fauna.
 
My first camera! It was a Kodak film camera (don’t remember the model, but it is safe in some cupboard at home). I bought it from my pocket money when I was in secondary school. Unfortunately I couldn’t afford my second camera. And obviously my Pappa didn’t gift me a DSLR, I had to plead for that hundreds of times when I was in second year of my graduation! Though he is not happy with me spending more time with it, I’m sure he appreciates my clicks when he silently visits my facebook profile. Anyways, thanks Pappa for the camera. I’ll definitely make you feel proud some day. Thus I started my journey with my Canon in June’10! I wholeheartedly thank my best buddies Siddharth and Avdhoot for giving me preliminary inputs for starting up with it. It would have been difficult without them. 
Thanks God for splendid Sahyadris where I was born.Thanks God for making me stay in his own country for four long years. I could capture a little beauty of his creations so far.  He has shifted me to a little north, and I’m exploring Karnataka now. I’m sure he’ll make me wander! It was a trend after the famous ‘Three Idiots’ to ask every DLSR owner why he doesn’t leave engineering and be a professional photographer. No doubt, I was also asked the same questions many times. What I can answer them is, ‘Haven’t yet thought of it, let me wander!’
I wholeheartedly welcome all of you to my travel and photography blog! Hope, you people like it :)
