From a recent shoot with sringer Srinivas at his home. Shot again during an interview for Hello FM.
We had a long and interesting conversation about how Indian Music Directors no longer are interested in introducing indian music in movies and it somehow has seemed to die down ever since A.R. Rahman has reduced his work in the indian, particularly tamil film music.

With Mohan
Pardon the folks whom do not know who he is. Just for a little bit of a background, a decade ago before Tamil Cinema changed much with the advent of A.R. Rahman and a lot of young directors Mohan was the heart throb of every young woman in town. They would kill to marry him, if they could.
Now, i had a dilemma if i should or shouldn't post this image. Why? Because i know all the chicko's of yesterday (aunties of today) would be a big problem. What if they suddenly want to befriend me to befriend him? aaargh! Now i wouldn't want to devoid my chances with the girls having much attention amidst the aunties. However i did find out he is still hotness today and there are loads of girls who dig this guy after a short gmail chat with a couple of random folks i knew.
So there you go, im a psuedo celebrity now. Jokes apart, this guy was very nice and humble for a mega celebrity that he is. Shot today at an interview with a radio station for whom i was doing photography.

Pekkadai
I seldom see this word used anymore. A daily house hold word used in a brahmin house hold to indicate the rear portion or a mid section of the house which has roofed tiles lead angular drainage canals that let the water collect and drain away when it rains a lot.
One of these canals from the roof will also drain into the well. A well, something one cannot see anymore in todays times. Perhaps a necessary evil to get rid of to prevent people and pets from accidentaly falling into it?
It had rained quite well the previous night. This mylapore agraharam house we went to take pictures of during the 26th chennai photowalk sure took me back to 1998 for a moment with a quick flashback.
Have you ever bathed under these things with water pouring out of it while it rains like nuts? I have, i can still hear my aunt and mom yelling at me whilst me and my cousins played in the rain in the pekkadai.

Christmas at Raffles
Christmas is always colourful and bright in Singapore. I've had the bliss of being here for last christmas season and was here a week ago this christmas as well.
As always the Raffles Place is lit up with a huge christmas tree full of lights and music. How i managed this shot without any blur/shake after 4 long island iced tea's and jumping and yelling around with random asian guys and gals about 100 meters from here in an underground pub called Ambrosia in Chimes is still a mystery to me.
Like the tamil saying Sila vishayangala anubhavikkanum, araayakoodathu i.e., Somethings in life should be experienced, not explored and i always go with the experience of things.

Singapore Pepper Crab
Yes, you heard me right. Its so famous here its named after Singapore. You can find these crabs in almost every Kopi Tiams in Singapore.
This one was shot along the Boat Quay where you find loads of sea food restuarants that display all sorts of crabs and fish/lobsters live on their display tanks and will be cooked for you if you order off the menu.
There are some of these buggers that are so huge its scary. I found it hard to differentiate if i was looking at a cow or a crab, they were about the same dimensions in a metaphorical sense.
Thankfully their claws are tied so that u dont loose a finger if your curious hands want to touch them :-P
