  • 290 - Mar 08<br /> Fire ball Poinsettia <br /> <br /> Rajputana Sheraton hotel where we stayed had these hand-made beautiful and intricately carved pieces in one of the lobbies. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>

  • 292 - Feb 27<br /> Coracle <br /> 18-105mm ISO 800 f8 at 1/60<br /> <br /> Shot at Orange County, Coorg, South India. The Coracle is a round lightweight boat used in South India. <br /> <br /> Read more about Coracle at <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.orangecounty.in/coorg/act-coracleride.php">http://www.orangecounty.in/coorg/act-coracleride.php</a><br /> <br /> and <br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coracle">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coracle</a><br /> <br /> This particular boat had some water in it, but otherwise they are waterproof in the sense the water does not come in at all. I did not take a ride here but have done so earlier elsewhere and it's quite fun. Of course we had life jackets on at that time! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> More pictures of Orange County at <br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7153235_Xgchf/1/459017606_kfsK9">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7153235_Xgchf/1/459017606_kfsK9</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 293 - Mar 10<br /> Two pigeons <br /> <br /> We had got back from a function and it was late, 11:20 p.m., when friend Nandini spotted the two pigeons resting on a balcony next to the entrance of the Rajputana Sheraton hotel. I had to use the flash but luckily they were not disturbed! <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 294 - Mar 11<br /> Going down <br /> <br /> The stairs at Rajputana Sheraton hotel lead to a lower level that had shops, gym and a restaurant. I was intrigued by the play of light & shadows. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 295 - Mar 12<br /> Dancers <br /> <br /> This beautiful sculpture was in the main lobby of Rajputana Sheraton hotel. The two lady dancers seemed to float in air. The man looking down is playing an Indian drum while the other is playing a string instrument. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 296 - Mar 13<br /> Dancer <br /> <br /> This is another shot of the beautiful sculpture in the main lobby of Rajputana Sheraton hotel. <br /> The lady dancer and the musician were lit from below. The man playing a string instrument has a beard and is wearing a turban. <br /> <br /> Yesterday's pic with the four figures is at <br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/490435170_Xy76e/Large">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/490435170_Xy76e/Large</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 297 - Mar 14<br /> An antique swing <br /> <br /> This antique swing was placed in a lobby of Rajputana Sheraton hotel. Such swings are used for the idols of God, as a child. It belonged to the royal family and had semi precious stones & gold plating. Beside other figures one can see peacocks on two sides. <br /> <br /> NOTE<br /> By mistake I had originally mentioned that this was a baby swing. Sorry about that. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 298 - Mar 15<br /> Ivory door frame <br /> <br /> This antique piece was placed in a lobby of Rajputana Sheraton hotel. The royalty and the rich people often got ivory inlaid in doors, windows and other pieces of furniture. The delicate carving was done by hand. Best viewed in original size. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 299 - Mar 16<br /> Take your pick! <br /> <br /> The signs were near a food court & petrol pump (gas station) on the Western Express highway. We were headed for Mahabaleshwar, a hill resort, and had made a stop here. I liked the way the signs stood out against the sky. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 300 - Mar 17<br /> Drink up! <br /> <br /> This small shop at Mahabaleshwar, a hill resort, was selling all types of squashes & juices. It was 27th January, a day after the Indian Republic day and the Orange, White & Green flower bands stood for the tri-color Indian flag. <br /> <br /> ==== NOTE ====<br /> Son Jay's wedding date is getting closer and we all are keeping very busy with the arrangements. Last 2-3 days were spent in getting the invitation cards ready. All this has kept me away from the Daily gallery so please excuse me if I am unable to comment on all the lovely entries. My loss entirely! :( <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 301 - Mar 18<br /> Corn on cob! <br /> <br /> Mahabaleshwar had a market with many shops & vendors offering different types of food. This man was roasting fresh corn on coals. During corn season such stalls can be seen in most parts of India. Once ready, a dash of lime, salt & pepper are added to it. <br /> <br /> ==== NOTE ====<br /> Son Jay's wedding date is getting closer and we all are keeping very busy with the arrangements.

  • 302 - Mar 19<br /> Strawberries <br /> <br /> Mahabaleshwar is famous for its strawberries and it's a treat to have them fresh from the garden! The vendor is selling three types - the first is in basket ones to eat on-the-go and the other two are in different kinds of packings. The red/orange hair is from dyeing it with henna, a common custom with Muslims. <br /> <br /> The lady next to him is selling "bhel" a favourite snack made up of puffed rice, pieces of small boiled potatoes, onions, salt, red chillies powder and a couple of other ingredients. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 303 - Mar 20<br /> Dahlia <br /> <br /> Mahabaleshwar Club where we stayed had a garden with many flowers. <br /> <br /> I was trying out a 60mm macro lens which was good but was second-hand and a bit pricey. I finally settled for a Tamron 90mm f2.8 - thanks to Bill's recommendation! Shot some pictures with it later on and will soon put them up. <br /> <br /> ==== update on wedding ==== <br /> <br /> The wedding & the reception are on 9th April. Mehendi & another small function are a day earlier. <br /> Cards are on their way ... now arrangements for guests coming from various places, including USA, UK & Germany! Whew! <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 304 - Mar 21<br /> Invitation <br /> <br /> Do excuse me that this is not a camera shot! This is Jay & Lakshmi's wedding invitation card(s) for the three occasions. Please allow some time to load the .GIF file. The three cards are enclosed in a white handmade paper envelop and that is then put in a <br /> gold cover for delivery. This is wife Swarup's idea / creation and looks really good. <br /> <br /> The outside envelop can be seen at <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/498572526_RXx6D/Large">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/498572526_RXx6D/Large</a><br /> This invitation is not just for a 'show' and we all will be most happy if you can join us in our special occasion. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 305 - Mar 22<br /> Invitation 2 <br /> <br /> Yesterday I put up Jay's wedding card and some of you have asked about the hand-made paper. This is it, where the wedding cards are put and then the whole thing is put in a gold envelope. The paper is handmade and the orange-red thread is stuck on it along with a slice of a beetle nut. The nut slice is adorned with a paste of saffron & rice. The thread and the beetle nut are considered auspicious. <br /> <br /> Card can be viewed at <br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/497891445_9Vsq6/Large">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/497891445_9Vsq6/Large</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 306 - Mar 23<br /> Flowers <br /> <br /> These flowers were shot at Mahabaleshwar Club with a 60MM macro lens. <br /> Am trying to get the name of it, if anyone knows it... <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 307 - Mar 24<br /> Sisters <br /> <br /> D300 17-55mm f8 1/250<br /> <br /> The two beautiful sisters were shot during the wedding I attended in Jaipur. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 308 - Mar 25<br /> Mother & two daughters <br /> <br /> D300 17-55mm f5.6 1/125<br /> <br /> My friend Abhay's comment prompted me to put up this picture of the mother & her two daughters. I am sure you all will agree the three of them are BEAUTIFUL ladies! <br /> Shot at a function at Jaipur. <br /> <br /> Yesterday's pic: <br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/481114693_xi6zt/Large">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/6972999_iVPCh/1/481114693_xi6zt/Large</a><br /> <br /> more pics of the function:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7718492_pEcQF/1/498795023_uiGHt">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7718492_pEcQF/1/498795023_uiGHt</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • 309 - Mar 26<br /> Folk dance <br /> <br /> D300 17-55mm f7.1 1/320<br /> <br /> During the mehendi function at the wedding in Jaipur there were a few folk dances performed by local artists. In this dance they move around in a circle and also go around individually, all the time balancing a pot on their heads! <br /> <br /> more Mehendi pics:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7495562_7yorg/1/483832310_py3Di">http://hershy.smugmug.com/gallery/7495562_7yorg/1/483832310_py3Di</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
