Story of an Ant and the Grasshopper
CLASSIC VERSION... The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold. -----------------------... more...

Switzerland - 2
28th Oct Saturday 2006After an early breakfast, we started our journey to Interlaken - Between the Lakes. This place is supposedly a sought after location for our bollywood movies. The drive was scenic, but the actual destination was rather dissapointing. I have to admit, there was nothing interesting or beautiful enough; may be it would have been ... more...

And it indeed turned out ... more...

Snow in London
Winter finally arrived in London; it snowed a bit today. It was all white when I first looked out of the window in the morning; quite bright and beautiful when I started for work. I had to bring my camera out to capture the snow covered trees (with barely any leaves) and roofs. The last few years were rather dry - few wintery showers ending in icy ... more...

Male or Female?
You might not have known this,  but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female.  Here are some examples:  FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them. PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again.   They are an effective repro...  more...
