I saw a Beetle!!

I saw a Super Beetle Saloon 1302 L parked on a street. It was an awesome sight as I had never seen this beauty on roads. My fingers tickled and in no time took out my weapon and started shooting this little star. I had read a lot about the car and even seen it on TV but I relished the moment when I touched this legend.

My dream car was originally known as Käfer, the German word for "beetle", from which the popular English nickname originates. It was not until August 1967 that the Volkswagen corporation itself began using the name Beetle in marketing materials in the US. In Britain, VW never used the name Beetle officially.

Beetle was first made in 1938 and was discontinued in 2003. 21,529,464 Beetles were built within this period.

Recently, in an international poll for the award of the world's most influential car of the twentieth century the Beetle came fourth after the Ford Model T, the Mini, and the Citroën DS.

Made my day today!

Fingers Crossed!!

Who says earth is round? It appears flat to me. I am aware that even a toddler can prove my theory wrong in a second. Like those midieval pirates I am on my way to rediscover the world. I do not know why but I am determined to achieve that feat of reclamation.
A few days back I learnt a few lessons out of the blue.
The learning were so influencing that they strengthened and reinforced the embedded faith within me.
I sensed a glimpse of Almighty's might that can defy the wildest of wildest thoughts.
GOD is Great!!
What next? nobody knows. I have my fingers crossed, what about you?

Day Five - Clicked!

Friends, I apologise for the delay in this post as last night was a holy night for us (Shab-e-Qadr). This night comes every year during the month of Ramadan. It has a huge significance as our Holy Quraan was revealed during this very occasion.  

On day five, I had done a bit of clicking. Hope you like these.

Day Four - Clicked!

I remember these lines by Cummings that I read sometime back..

"I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes."

Even Albert Einstein explaining the complexities of universe had said

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."

I am a strong believer of these views, that is the reason why you will find dominance of nature in my work. I believe that mom nature provides ample opportunities to everyone but few people make an effort to capture it. There are many who do not bother to notice what is going around when it is happening. But my suggestion to everyone is to stay in touch with nature with a conscious mind.

While driving through the outskirts of the city, i managed to get these shots. Hope you like them.

Day Three - Clicked!

A sluggish day for me. I felt something missing but was not able to discover what was the thing that was bothering me. I managed to capture a few shots that I felt were worth sharing.

I can say a couple of them depict colors of nature at its best.

Stay tuned!

Day Two - Clicked!

Here I come again with another bunch of beauties. These shots were taken at one of my favourite spots that I always visit. It is the famous pitstop for most, on the banks of Dal Lake where you get Corn (Butta).

It was dusk and getting dark, a perfect time to open wide the aperture of my machine. 

Enjoy it!

I promise you more, so better you visit again!
