Wondering what’s with the title? It’s another picture from my jelly fish collection that I took at Monterey Bay Aquarium. They have such amazing collection of jelly fish. I was never a fan of jelly fish because it represented cold and scary. But when I saw them at monterey bay aquarium, I was speechless. Their color, movement, texture, from tiny to big sizes, it was a treat to my eyes (would never dare to go near them).

Here is a picture of tiny jelly fishes which I captured.

Thus the name galaxy of jellies.

I captured a nice shot of a Jelly Fish on the move during a recent visit to monterey bay aquarium. The picture is doing rounds on Flickr and is being received very well in the community there . To check out the picture and the reviews, Click Here.

A 11 second video which I took when we went to Monterey Bay Aquarium. I tried to take pictures of these tiny jelly fishes, but damn! they move so fast. They make my camera feel so insecure , telling me to buy a new one

They both were dancing so nice, couldn’t decide which one to focus on
Hope you enjoy the jelly dance

Yeah ,we had a hindu correspondent in campus last week and he was talking to a few bloggers in our college .Myself,sp2hari,suren were there .

And today when i landed up in college ,swami showed me the paper which had my name right on the second column

here are the scanned copy of the paper

I think its pretty cool ,although a link to my blog would have been great. You never know some traffic is welcome .

I just realized that my last post was on Aug 1st. sheesh!! is that really me? I mean really? the gal who used to write every other day, now writes once(twice) in a month. All I can say is, I was busy with my final exams(yeah right! final exams for a month?) I mean I did have final exams the whole last week

Anyways, my craze for photography started again in the past few weeks(wish I could put the graph n all). I hope not to get crazy, but I can’t help carrying my camera everywhere I go, take pictures every minute and trying my best not to make Uday go crazy. He already started saying, please stop taking pics for every few minutes and enjoy the beauty? What he said is right, may be I should take some time off.

So crazy that I take pictures while I’m driving, of insects that enter our apartment, the plants, chair, water droplets on my glass or.. this is even worse my vacuum cleaner???? (actually I’m looking at it now and thinking which angle would be good) The other day I was trying to capture the screensaver on our new mac mini. how stupid is that? Was glad that Uday didn’t say a word, but I still don’t get why he smiled.

In a way, I should thank my friend pattu and flickr groups for regaining my interest in photography. Not for the crazy ideas mentioned above, but when I look at the splendid, breathtaking, marvelous photos that different people across the globe take and their sheer interest that continues them to take such awe-inspiring pictures, it inspires me.

With that inspiration, here are some pictures I took on our trip to monterey bay acquarium(for now I uploaded a handful as there are 177 photos) and I hope that you have a good time watching them. Also, if you can leave constructive comments I will be very grateful. click here>>>My Photos

Hi Friends,

I am writing on “Word of the Worlds” after a long time. Life becomes challenging managing so many things, especially after one starts working. But, I always agree, that people can take out time for their interests and passion. I have also been taking out time for my interest i.e. writing, but for long time it has been offline then online.
A kind of trying to convert some dreams into realities, but anyways I am not going to bore you with stuff about me and come straight to the topic.
In this phase of introspection and silence from blogging, I watched many movies and read many books apart from usual work routine. I want to share about a movie, and two books (I am still reading one), which I really liked.
I watched a Hindi Movie called “Cheeni Kum” few days back. The movie is a romantic special as it shows romance between a 64 year old man and a 34 year old woman. The romance between them is simple, just like any other romantic pair of permissible age difference by the society.
They are together because they like each other. Its not infatuation, neither compromise and nor erotic. I felt while watching the movie, as if they are one of the best couple, I have seen in both reel and real life.
Tabu and Amitabh, both have acted very well, and I would recommend this movie to all those, who wants to see the simplicity of love between a couple minus the age difference.
I really liked the movie, may be I like more than many people, because I never felt age difference while making frens in life and some day I may fall in love with an older woman. Anyways, try out this movie, chances are most of you will like it.
One of the recent book, I really liked is by Anita Desai, an Author with an impeccable command over English. This Booker prize winner penned “The inheritance of Loss”. I would term it as a social fiction, which travels miles between America, England and remote parts of India, with such an ease.
The novel revolves around some 10-12 characters who are struggling to settle in a place, where they don’t belong to (immigrants). A very surprising thing was the kind of detail, Anita knows about life in a small town or village in India. The psychology of people, the behavior, and the description of the physical features of a land, all seems perfect.
A very good read for all the book lovers!
The latest book, that I am reading (it’s a 950 page fiction) is “Shantaram” by Gregory David Roberts.
The book is a fiction, some sort of Autobiography as well, mixed with lots of his personal experiences. This is a book depicting the black and white shades of Mumbai through the experiences of the Author, who was a Drug dealer and also an absconding criminal lands in Mumbai, and makes Mumbai his first home. He stays in a slum in Mumbai, and narrates his day to day experiences from selling drugs, running a health clinic, working with Mafia, acting in Bollywood to falling in love. The majority of story revolves around Colaba in Mumbai, especially Café Leopold, where he meets many people, observes lots of things and discuses on philosophies of life.
This book is an internationally acclaimed one, and very famous among all the Mumbai lovers. I also heard from one of my friend, that a movie is going to be based on this book and is going to star Johnny Depp, as the Author. I recommend this book, not because of my love towards Mumbai, but the love towards adventures in life.
