This photograph was clicked on the way to Ahmednagar from Pune," says Arunendra Mishra. "It depicts the true colours of rural India. The location forced us to stop and have a glimpse of the children having fun and working together."

Says Rohit Virmani of Patparganj, Delhi, "I clicked this picture while on an official survey tour of a village in Jaunpur in January 2010. I saw this cow and found it interesting."

Here we have an entry from Satya N Govind (Chari), who describes himself as a professional scriptwriter/cartoonist and a photographer.

"I prefer to call myself a 'nuisance dedicated to creativity," he explains. "I have been enjoying every moment of this year writing, sketching and clicking and finally had the opportunity to click a plethora of photos while I was travelling in India. Be it the divine abode of the Lord of the Seven Hills (Tirupati) or a never-to-miss-moment in my home town, New Delhi, these pictures aren't merely pictures but stories churned with a purpose."

"This picture was shot at the New Delhi railway station, depicting the predicament of this young boy caught in the rain that had lashed the city several times. While he stood there covering his head, his sibling got candid."

@REDIFF

Nujum H of Noida sent in this photograph, saying, "I travelled from Delhi to Bharatpur (Rajasthan) this month to take pictures of migratory birds. Though Bharatpur Bird Santuary is a heaven for shutterbugs during the winter season, this picture clicked by me inside the santuary stands apart. These three students walked ahead of their group to spot the birds. The sun rays crossing through the dark, misty tree leaves gave this picture an unusual feeling."


@REDIFF

I have this image from Ankush Kumar, who explains, "This pic was taken on the outskirts of Chandigarh. We had stopped for some shopping and two children came to our car looking for something to eat. As my wife opened the bag to get some food, they were eager to know what they were going to get."

Eau d’Hadrien By Annick Goutal Perfume Review

Articles by: ida

I came across the brand Annick Goutal while searching online for new perfumes to try.  I found that many people professed a great love for their perfumes and had a certain reverence for this perfume house, and I became quite curious about it.  So on my birthday off I went, at the height of summer in sweltering heat and humidity, to sniff at the Annick Goutal line, and came home with Eau d’Hadrien as a present.

These photos are from the recent Mumbai police show 2010 event.

I only like Rani mukherjee’s saree and bangles. Makeup not to much.

There is a lot going on her face- bold eyes, not-so-interesting lipstick, too much blush.

I was randomly checking out January’s issues of Vogue and I came across these tips by Sonam Kapoor (an Indian actress). Nothing that you wouldn’t have heard or read before. I thought I’d share it as a reminder to all of us. 

SOnam Kaooor Vogue India Jan 2010

Ten tips to get the body you want by Sonam Kapoor:
1. Don’t eat that samosa.
2. Eat small meals, every two hours, instead of three big meals.
3. Stay away from refined foods. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables, and lean meats.
4. Exercise.
5. Cut down on caffeine and drink more water. Green tea has the caffeine you need, so switch from coffee.
6. Accept that there can be no excuse for straying from your regime.
7. Put on music and dance.
8. Recognise that there is no easy way.
9. Don’t be a lazy bum. You only need six hours of sleep. Get up and get moving.
10. Never be unhappy with who you are, but do see where there may be room for improvement.
