Harsh Mangal`'s photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I turned 21 a while ago. But they still classify me as a teen. Perhaps because I'm sometimes ameliorating, sometimes impairing.

I think of myself as a feeble with those big amaranthine dreams. I love to comprehend almost anything and everything about life and the universe. The purpose of my life sounds rather too religious for an atheist. I want to understand the reason for our existence. Okay, I know I probably won't get a satisfying enough answer to that question, but I reckon with the information available, I can get a good enough estimate. Apart from reading, I also write poems. But that's only when I'm feeling pathetically sentimental. People usually describe me as: 'A weak, nerveless fool, devoid of energy and promptitude.' That's not true, though, whenever I'm out on a cricket or football grounds.

The guys who have written testimonials for me are one of the kindest people on flickr. Thank you all for your words. :)

I recently upgraded to Canon 500D from Canon Powershot S3, powershot A 75 and N97.

Oh, and if you can't withstand my knack on English, it's because I'm still trying to decipher this language.

If you ever feel like buying my images, just send me a flickr mail. :)

I'm on wikipedia now. My DLF's photograph is in the description of Gurgaon, the profile of the rapidly developing Indian city. :)

New Update: Of late, I've been on a cleaning spree. I've 812 items remaining in my photostream (including private objects), as of May 5, 2011. The number has plunged sharply as not long ago I had 1290 photos on flickr.

Favorite Quote:
"You know, there's a great sense of pride to be able to be involved in a human endeavor that takes us all a little bit farther. When you look down and see our Earth, and you realize what we are trying to do as a human race, it's pretty profound." - Barbara Morgan, August 22, 2007

P.S. Please don't forget that all my images are copyrighted. I will most probably allow the use of my images for all non-profit matters, but only if I'm asked first.

BTW, my real name is Harsh Mangal. My first name, Harsh, means Happiness or Joy.

"Harsh is my first Flickr friend! He nominated me for a Pro Account before we ever really talked! He's a lovely person to chat with, and his photos are awesome. I love the peak into his culture with all the photos he shares with us. Plus, we share a mild obsession for the clouds, and that- we will ALWAYS have :) I'm cheering you on through all your rough times with school woes and hoops you're jumping through for your future travels. Thank you Harsh for your friendship!!"

"Harsh is my Rumor Humor buddy,
but don't let that scare you ..lol
He's got some nice images in his stream,
full of life and vibrance.
I guess he's mad at me for some bad rumor,
since he removed me from his profile's "friends" list,
but I still love him anyway ;);)
Harsh Mangal ROCKS!"

The Humungus says:

"I think Harsh Mangal prys his eyelids open just waiting for a Rumour Humor challange in The Biggest Group. He can dish out the rumours and take it too.
And his photos are pretty darn good too."

Pacdog says:

"Harsh has a quality he brings to flickr that I was missing for some time.. Quality of thought along with great depth of wisdom for others works.. He is a true photographer with the tools to make allot of professionals wounder why they have much better equipment and cannot figure out why they have not the "eye" to capture the shots.. Harsh truly enjoys spending allot of time checking out others photos and leaving wonderful comments that make you happy your a flickr friend of his. I'm truly blessed to have him as a friend.. God bless you my friend.."

annfrau says:

"Harsh is one of the sweetest guys ever.
He has a good word for everybody, he's funny and adorable.

Keep up the great job, Harsh!"

I feel very proud when i read people's comments on his pics. May god give him success in his life and he keeps on taking pics of anyone to everyone. Luv him a lot."

Michael - B says:

"He likes patterns, trees, clouds, airplanes and many other things - but all of them are family safe. That's what's good about him - and he's also good at photographing people.
If you want to see a piece of India you simply have to browse his photo stream, no doubt."
