Buzzing Days

Last few days have been buzzing with activity..(Of late I realized most of my blogs start with busy word so trying to change from that monotonous tone)..

My Devar was here to spend his break from the college..We did quite a roaming around time with our long walks to city centre..Yeah we voted hubby out for taxi with a vote of 2 to 1.

Last few days have seen me covering Kolkata from city centre to Victoria to Science city..Sharing those moments





Memo Shop..This carriage was used in one of the oldest steam engines in Kolkata and later on added here as a tourist attraction.







Sleeping Beauty..Vicky in deep sleep





Makar Sakranti Celebrations.Yipee we had our own traditional Dahi chooda and Goodh..(Hubby says write jaggery..:-))





Park Day for us.colorful isn't it..Though missing the bathing chirping kids who generally make it more colorful :-)








I always stop by gazing in awe at this tree .Check the spooky branches







Musical Fountain Extravanza..Absolutely breathless.We had mesemerizing half an hour here with those waters swaying to the beats of bollywood..Starting from dola re to oh hansini by kishore kumar to instrumental..Diffcult to capture the beauty of the moment but here it is..




Ride on the bagghi against the backdrop of Victoria Memorial. I always find it very romantic..









Our Last stop after a hectic day..Flurry's New cake decoration on display



Always fascinated by Chandeliers. One of the twin pairs at Flurry's..

We on our way back after an hectic day.Wedding reception in the lake..Sounds exotic..and Looked exotic as well

End of a Bright Day..Wish you all a happy Makar Sakranti

What a giant leap Sangita !
Musical fountain pictures are so lovely, and very alive. You clicked at the right moment.

Sleeping beauty is a bit dark, you can increase the brightness with a simple software like ACDSEE or
since you are serious about it, you can download and install IRFAN VIEW its a simple software and its free. They give simple options to improve the picture. The bagghi picture is very sharp. Very good. Red stupa like cake is terrific. The chandelier (I copied your spelling again) is little bit blurred. just a bit, I know you had to strain your neck. Perhaps you wanted the last picture to be dark. I am confused, I don't know which is the best. And the best thing is its a good presentation again, you have a concept going. If this continues, one day you'd direct a feature film.

And Sangita please don't get angry If i criticise you. Its easy for me to make you happy with pleasing words. Which I never try to do.
