Came across a folder with old pictures and I had to share it with everyone. While writing the blog it dawned upon me that this year it will be 10 years since we graduated from St. Xavier’s Mirzapur, a thought of reunion came to mind. Remember the days when we use to sing ‘papa kehte hai bada naam karega…’

I have a feeling it was that song we were singing here.. Aditya please confirm!

Its amazing to see how we have changed through times, I decided to steal some recent pictures from orkut albums… would love to get hold of everyone from the class!

Here are some before and after shots that I could get my hands on

Here are some pictures from school, would love to get the new ones :)

and to continue here are some newer shots, but don’t have pictures from schools (most of them taken from their orkut albums)

It almost looks like a listing of gum-shuda kendra.. well I will try to make it more interesting :)

You know how to find me if you can share more pictures that I can add here!

Its middle of April and we decided to have a beautiful white day in upstate NY when its supposed to be blooming!

All these beautiful sights were just too tempting for me to drive straight to work. So I decided to pull over on safe spots and capture some memorable shots. I saw this beautiful green church and a huge parking lot on the side. Quickly took some pictures and jumped back in the car. I check to my right to make sure no cars were coming. As I was pulling out of the parking lot, I noticed a beautiful red house with the road curving in front of it, just what I wanted, so I put on the reverse gear and move the car a little.

Lets leave the car running, I won’t be gone long. Stepping outside I slide, I balance myself by holding on to the door and as I close the door I realize that I had just locked it while trying to balance. Within that moment as the door latched, I realize the keys are in the ignition! Dang! I am locked out. In this snow with my camera in hand, no camera bag, no gloves, no cap, no snow-shoes - a jacket to protect from the cold!

Luckily my phone was still with me and I keep a spare key in my desk drawer. Called Dave at work and asked him to rescue me. Good thing was, I got the shot I wanted while waiting 30min in the frigid cold and my camera survived .. well it wasn’t that cold so no frost bites either :)
