Trip to the park

177/395

The other day when I went to the nearby park with Mukta (my niece) I realized that the park is a nice place to get photographs of children. So I went there again today and clicked some photos of this little boy.

The light was perfect... the Golden Hour I guess... :)

Christmas is coming!

I went to Candies today! 

They have already started lighting up the place with the fairy lights!

Here's a bokeh. :)

 Mukta my niece loves to get photographed.

So much that she almost directs how and where the photo should be clicked.

Now that I see the photos I realize how bad the composition is!

These are good example for how to not compose your photos.

Textile Expo

174/395

 I accompanied my mother to a textile expo at the World Trade Center in Mumbai.

I came back with these photographs of the saris on display.

'Karavali'

I took this photograph when I went with my mother for another bridal make up session.

This little girl is the 'Karavali' ie. the next one to be married.

It doesn't really stand true here or in most cases so no need to freak out!

This cute little girl won't be married off so soon... (hopefully)

I left the venue before the bride was ready so no photographs of the bride.

Mukta - my neice

172/395 Mukta

 We have known Shalaka tai since childhood. We used to go camping with her. 

Mukta is her elder daughter. She is so bright and always has questions!

When Shalaka Tai was expecting her second child, she requested me to click photos of her and Mukta.

Almost like a photo shoot. =]

This was the first time I was shooting Mukta or actually the first time I was doing a planned shoot for a child!

It wasn't very difficult... I guess Mukta is just awesome and so it went so smooth... :)

Shalaka Tai and Mukta

 I think I managed to capture some good moments...

Shalaka Tai and most importantly, Mukta was delighted to see these photos.

Mukta loved them so much that now every time I meet her she wants me to bring my camera and click photos! 

Yaay! 

Everything HAS to happen her way... if not then... this is what you get! 

Look at my frock go wee...! :D

Thama Kaku!

Shalaka Tai and the Baby!

Shalaka Tai gave birth to a cute little baby girl!

She's named Radha... Oh I love that name! 

The Bride!

 My mum  did the make up and hairstyle for the bride, Aarti.

I got this photo while she posed for the photographers.

There was such a rush while she got ready. 

God knows how wedding photographers like Joe Radhik and The Unreal Bride do such a great job!

I love their photos! 

I messed up the white balance in the photo below.

Aarti looks red! :/

This is what happened on the ferrous wheel!

Hadn't imagined this! It was really really fun...

All the stars that performed over the 3 days came together and performed again!

There couldn't have been a better way to end the Happiest Music Fest!

Could there?

Bacardi Nh7 Weekender 2011 you were the Best!

 The number of photographers went from 1 to 10!!

That is called popularity! 

Both of them couldn't believe how crazy the audience was!

Mileha couldn't resist the temptation of seeing Indian Ocean's performance (again).

So she came and definitely she was happy! :)

I don't really know why I like this photo.

Backstage. Wires. Pepsi. 

Papon & the East India Co. @ Bacardi Nh 7 Weekender 2011

165/395

 Papon and the East India Company were just awesome! 

I have been listening to Papon's 'Jiya baitho jayein' on repeat.

His voice is so soothing. :)

 I think he looks like Heath Ledger... Don't you?

Oh my God! Papon is so CUTE!!

There were stalls which sold such funky things.

Apart from those, the first 50 people to walk in were given blue afros!

That was just fun... seeing random blue heads in the crowd.

Chocolate Avalanche

Before we went for the 3rd days performances, Tanya and me met up with our roommates Aditi and Mileha at Mocha.

We were having such fun time... Chocolate avalanche toh banta hi hai na?!!

Yumm!
