This Sunday India celebrates its 64th Independence Day i.e. on 15th August 2010. The whole nation is under the magic of the tricolors and there are only three visible colors all around- Saffron, White and Green!!
It is so very exciting, one more occasion to celebrate the success story of India Inc. On this auspicious moment I pray that soon all the unsocial activities come to an end, soon all the violence ends, and soon we all together focus in one direction, the direction for the wellness of everyone, the direction for the betterment of everyone, the direction for the success of everyone, the direction filled with love and peace.
I’m totally in the hangover of tricolor this weekend, and that is the reason I decided to turn my black blog-space into a colorful one by painting it with the amazing tri-colored pictures. I hope you will like them.
I’m writing this post especially for the blogadda’s ‘Travel Photos’ contest. As part of the contest, I’m going to post five of my favorite and best photographs during my all travels. This contest is really a treat for somebody like me, who very recently got stung by the camera’s aperture and shutter speed. So, here we go!!…..Too much excitement, isn’t it? But I kind of love starting the new things by saying ‘here we go’ as it brings my energy-levels to the same as Vin Diesel’s just before the start of the race in the movie “The Fast and The Furious”…O COM ‘on I’m just kidding :) .
Just about a month ago, when it was getting really hectic and boring, my wife and I decided to take a break, and eloped to celebrate our very first wedding anniversary in GOA, and by god, it was the most amazing time of our lives. Goa blended with its splendid heritage, delicious sea food, and refreshing beaches intoxicated both of us in a state of amnesia about the forgotten busy city life back home. Sitting on the Goan beaches, right under the wooden shacks within the constant vigilance of the shack owners to provide us the best hospitality, we braced the wind coming from the sea that reincarnated the old sweet pleasure back into our lives. So, I’m sure that by now you might have guessed it correctly that all my pictures are coming from our trip to GOA.
My first picture is called-“The Tranquil”. This picture is taken just before the evening at the Arossim Beach in South Goa. The Arossim Beach is no doubt Goa’s most clean and less crowded beach, and as you walk through the sea shore you would only hear the sound of sea waves coming across you minus all other voices on the beach. Just by looking at the sea you will fell for the voodoo of the sea waves, tranquility will fill your heart and soul with the utmost soothing and calming moment of your life. This picture just brings back the same tranquility that I witnessed so I named it as “The Tranquil”.
The second picture is called-“The Childhood”. As soon as you start walking on the beaches, the sand brings out your playful nature. You start playing the games with the sand, you write something on the sand, you print your marks on the sand or you make something from the sand. Unknowingly, you are pushed into a child’s play, you enjoy it to the core and you have fun with it. This picture shows the sand-homes that brought our childhood back I hope you feel the same after seeing it.
The third picture is of the Fort Aguada Light House, and it is called-“The Memorial”. The Fort Aguada is a well preserved 17th century Portuguese fort on Sinquerim beach overlooking the vast Arabian sea. The 4-storey Portuguese lighthouse was erected in 1864 and it’s the oldest of its kind in Asia. Sometimes I feel really amazed with the fact that how everyone of us want to click their photograph with the historical monuments and the great memorials, and unknowingly it’s been added to the memorials of our own lives in the form of picture-albums. The picture also depicts the tourist clicking their photographs with the Light House in behind, clicking the old memorial and creating a new one.
The forth picture is called-“The Escapade”. People really enjoy the adventure sports available on the Goan beaches, and one of them is “Paragliding”. People love the adventure of flying in the air on their parachutes. The feeling of flying above the deep blue sea is amazing. So, in this picture I caught a real adventurer flying over the deep blue sea and enjoying the ride.
The last and final picture is called-“The Romance”. They say it- “Listen to the free feeling of love every sunset”, and as we walked on the beach together holding our hands, watching the sunset, we fell in love all over again. The sea, the sunset and us, together made a lovely moment of life. I hope you feel like walking on the beach during the sunset holding your partner on watching this picture.

Sometimes you just want to quietly surf through all the unconventional things on the internet, and I just experienced that walk in the forest of bloggers on the internet. Trust me bloggers and their pictures are still considered to be unconventional, but yet different :). So, here are the collection of few pictures from the world of bloggers on the internet that were unconventional, interesting and spreading a message. Since, each picture depicts an expression related to a blogger, I decided to name this post as "EXPRESSIONS OF BLOGGERS".

Sorry, I was not active for a while here on my blog as I took a break and fled away to Goa. Goa is certainly India's most loved tourist destination. The Sea (the Arabian Sea), the beer (the home of Kingfisher Beer), the heritage and the food of Goa attracts everyone like a magnet, you go once and you would want to come back again and again. I went to Goa 4 years ago and since the very first day of my visit in Goa my la-affair began with it. Goa is refreshing and as soon as you land here you almost forget everything else in life, a perfect place to take a break from the busy life. I m not a professional photographer, but the beauty of Goa and the magic of my Canon SX100 blended well to give me few awesome snaps. Here are few pictures from the beautiful Goa.
