Botanical garden...ooty...

This is second lot of foto's from same ooty picnic (see previous post)... Some close snaps from the Botanical Garden.
well... no specific captions for foto's except where I feel the need for it.





Somehow this tree reminds me of the tree in the harry potter n prisoner of azkaban
the tree that hits Harry and Hermine with it's branches.





The tortoise in this foto is not real.


This one taken with the camera close to the tree trunk and facing the sky...

The snap below is a close up of a tree trunk.

Beautiful Coonoor

A few days ago, I spent weekend at Ooty & Coonoor It was a really nice experience...

Coonoor Railway Station... For the fameous Mountain Railway.

This is not a working engine... It is out of service and placed near the railway station to remind us the glory of the gone era.

Jeddah....The Ancestor of Women...

Jeddah is the second largest city and economic capital of Saudi Arabia.
Don't be confused by the title... Jeddah Literally means "The Ancestor of Women" or Eve...It's a big irony that the country where women are most oppressed.... has a city named after the eve...
here are some snaps...
One of the highest fountain in the world.

Sunset .... from office window....

Let's Make a decision, Say No to Reservation...

The Title is inspired by a slogan that i saw during world cup match between trinidad and sweeden...It had "Racialism" instead of "Reservation". But i guess this Reservation is just another form of Racialism.

The snaps are from the Anti Reservation Ralley in Bangalore on 28th May...




a nice ad...

Seen on M G Road, Bangalore on last sunday... It's a car crushed under a huge football...
Thanks to glare in the background. car is not clear... I should have used flash with night mode.
