First Anniversary at Work

Today marks the completion of 1 year in my company!!! So yay :) !!! I remember I was so excited, like a small kid, when going to office for the first time!!! And, no doubt, I have enjoyed my 1 year here - have learned so many things, made new friends....

So, I can say, I am truly "celebrating work"!!!

My First Date with Canon PowerShot 570 IS

Last monday, I bought a Canon PowerShot 570IS for my parents from U.S. Didn't get time to try it out that much. Today, I took the camera along when I was leaving for lunch. Had gone to "All Stir Fry" (ESquare, Pune). Didn't have too many subjects to shoot, but one photo came out really well (atleast, according to me :) )....

The ceiling was a transparent one, with water flowing over it.

For a few days now, I was searching for some widget / utility for tag clouds. I somehow don't like the label list which is present, by default, in blogger. When I googled for it, I came across one such utility. I then made some changes in the template's html code, and voila!!! I have a tag cloud of my own in my blog!!! Great!!! It took me some time to change the colors etc according to my original template, but that was a mere 5 minutes work...

Its a piece of cake to make the changes. Just follow the instructions mentioned in the webpage. Click here to see the instructions :)

Durga Puja Celebrations in Pune

Durga puja is one thing, every Bengali looks forward to... And I am no exception to that... This year, I had a chance to visit some of the "pujos" in Pune, and believe me, they were wonderful. Here are a couple of pics I had taken last night ("navami").

This photo was taken at Durgotsav celebrations at Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC). I remember this puja from the days I was in school way back in 90s. Combined with cultural events organized by AFMC's own students and teachers, it makes you feel at home.

After AFMC, I visited Koregaon Park. Completely covered in white, the goddess looked radiant. This pujo reminded me of the decorations in Kolkata's pujo pandals....

My trip to Goa earlier this year

This April, I had visited Goa, and had the opportunity to capture its beauty with my camera... These photos are some of those that were taken on the second day of my stay there.

Dona Paula near Panaji. I had last visited it when I was 5 years old, but the place still looks the same. I loved the way the colors of the leaves showed up in the photo.

This is where we had our lunch. The place is called "Sea Pebbles". Lovely sea food.

A view from "Sea Pebbles": Can you see my friend Lijo sitting there???
