I got tagged...

This post has been a very long time in coming...
I recently got tagged by Mridula. (Mridula, I apologize...been just horribly busy).
Anyway, here are 8 things about me per rules of the tag:

1. I am crazy about photography! Nothing else drives me more.
2. Travelling and hiking are a couple of my favourite pastimes
3. I find wide, expansive landscapes enthralling.
4. I think black and white photos are fascinating.
5. I enjoy Jazz and Hindustani Instrumental on one end and Psychedelic Rock on the other end. Talk about extremes!!
6. Best poet for quotes: Robert Frost - yup, really.
7. Delhi and Chicago - my favourite places.
8. I'm having a hard time trying to figure what to put here!

There you go. All done. Kaam khatam paisa hajam :)

Night

Most glorious night!
Thou wert not sent for slumber!

~Lord Byron, Childe Harold

Dreamy

I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.

~Steven Wright

Nostalgia

Sweet childish days, that were as long
As twenty days are now.

~William Wordsworth, "To a Butterfly"

Somehow this photo got me all nostalgic about my childhood...

For Once, Then, Something

Once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
I discerned, as I thought, beyond the picture,
Through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
Something more of the depths--and then I lost it.

-Robert Frost

Sunrise

I am back!

Hibernating for now

I'll wake up soon!

Spring Colors

The naked earth is warm with Spring,
And with green grass and bursting trees
Leans to the sun's kiss glorying,
And quivers in the sunny breeze.

~Julian Grenfell

It's spring folks! Have a great time!

Droplet

In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans.

- Kahlil Gibran

Picturesque

That's not my home but it sure reminds me of home...

Thought

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

- Buddha

Light in Water

I admit. It's a boring picture. I couldn't find anything else interesting enough to photograph.

Boredom is like a pitiless zooming in on the epidermis of time.
Every instant is dilated and magnified like the pores of the face.

~Charlotte Whitton

Truck over cars

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog??

Perspective

Whatever you are, be a good one.
- Abraham Lincoln

Fall

Leaves Of Gold

Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze.

~Emily Dickinson

Well, the winter has been more like fall this year!

Lone Ranger

Standing Guard?

Too many heads on the block? 

Happy New Year

And ye, who have met with Adversity's blast,
And been bow'd to the earth by its fury;
To whom the Twelve Months, that have recently pass'd
Were as harsh as a prejudiced jury -
Still, fill to the Future! and join in our chime,
The regrets of remembrance to cozen,
And having obtained a New Trial of Time,
Shout in hopes of a kindlier dozen.
~Thomas Hood

Wish you all a very Happy New Year, folks!

Ice

Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

- Robert Frost

Caught in between?
