Caught Grinning - 23

I took this picture at about 6 PM on 09/Apr/09, on the way from Kadur Railway station to Chikmagalur. We were driving for a picnic and we stopped at this cool-drink shop for a break. So hot and dry was that April evening, that this cow was in search of something to quench its thirst right at the doorstep of the shop we were standing. While the water tap seen nearby was leaking precious water, this cow stared only at me and these cool-drink trays that had only empty bottles, sadly disappointing! A frame that actually did not catch me grinning, but caught me moving!

When: 01/Nov/09, Sunday, 01:43 pm.

Iyarkai

I am publishing two of my old poems here.

1) Oru Malarin Payanam, ஒரு மலரின் பயணம்: Means, A Flower's Travel.

I wrote and recited this at a Kaviyarangam, கவியரங்கம், named Iyarkai, இயற்கை, meaning Nature, at our College, way way back in 1990. It mildly expresses the occasional drop in motivation that could occur to a person due to any lack of progress in certain times in life, and then the way the person springs back to agile activity to move forward swiftly, by learning from several Natural phenomenons existing around us: Like, the tiny rain drops that fall steep down from the sky ultimately to help growth of vegetation on earth, and, the colourful fragrant roses that bloom every day always in the middle of several thorns!

2) Muyarchiyil Oru Padi, முயற்சியில் ஒரு படி: Means, A Step In Trying.

I wrote and recited this at the valedictory function of the Tamil Literary Association, தமிழ் இலக்கிய மன்றம், of our College, again, way back in 1991. It expresses how a person can turnaround from a temporary non-progressive state that reduced motivation in the past, in to a very positive, confident stature, and keeping up the continuing march forward in Life.

Caught Special - 21

Where: At Subrahmanya Road railway station, while traveling from Mangalore to Bangalore. 
When: 02/May/09, Saturday, 09:45 pm.
What: When I saw this goods train standing parked on the neighboring track at this train station, particularly because the area was lit only by a lone lamp post next to it, I felt it is an interesting frame to capture without using my camera's flash. I clicked this frame through my window ensuring that I keep that post and lamp out of my frame. Please note, all my Caught Specials are raw pictures as recorded by my camera, without any post-processing by an image viewer or image processor software. To me, this picture looked cool, with the one-side illuminated objects in it, slightly dark-blue hue due to the illumination by the lamp post, the lamp not in view, the other vacant track that is present in between, a drinking water spout pedestal cutely in the middle, and, the right hand side of the frame fully in dark. I thought it is an interesting Caught Special in my collection. Take a close look.
