Dr. Autobahn

This guy was a part of the troupe of The Midnight Circus that performed in the heart of downtown Chicago for a couple of weeks ahead of Halloween... his act was spectacular... rolling in a circular cage and balancing it just right... getting up after a dead lie flat halt... amazing.

Cute :)

Such a cute kid... enjoying a really hot autumn afternoon in the fountains.

Footprints on the cement of time!

Yup thats exactly what the title suggests- footprints, albeit on the cement of Millenium Park in Chicago made by a kid after playing in the fountain

Poetic?

Nope I don't own this beaut, and just looking at it makes me wonder... If Only..................

Just kidding, this picture reminds me of a hollywood set

Artsy Temple?

Nope- just the top portion of yet another fascinating building in Chicago :)

The Risen Sun

Although I did not want to publish this picture, for the simple reason that it is very undramatic... however I did not want to leave you (the viewer) with a rising sun.

Pencil's in the making

Graphite bars ready to be drafted into the Pencil Army...

Gate to the Parliament?

A house, but yet not one. Structurally sound, but no shelter...
In reality a decorative entrance to the North side of Grant/Millennium Park.

Forked Pyramid?

Think again! when was the last time you saw a pyramid in Chicago?

Guess what this could be a picture of... (:

Sparkling Gift *

Millions shining above, on millions below......
Guess what this is, and I shall surprise you with the answer. But obviously it is not the sky...

Open to ideas?

This chair looks so inviting to the empty space in front of it, almost like a human with a very very very broad mind, and open to all sorts of ideas...

Black Gold

Concretised Black Gold

Cards...

All the cards in my hand look the same, I think they have not been shuffled properly (:

Men and Women

It is said that behind each successful man is a woman. I shall bend that saying a li'l bit- in each successful man's eyes, a reflection of his lady can be seen. Here the curves of another building are reflected in this straight lined building, and the Sun provides its blessing to the two of them.

Moths!!!

Damn those moths!!! but you gotta admit they do make perfect holes :P

Do they lead anywhere?

Do steps ever lead to anywhere ? For we always have a want to climb more, even though we might say every once-in-a-while... enough!

Small world u say?

Yup we are all connected to every person through someone who knows someone who knows someone...... and the chain is formed.

This vase would never require any flowers to compliment its simplistic beauty...

Turbines you say?

Oldie-goldie staircase looking like a modern turbine...

F1

1. Guys... hold your breath, here they come.... concentrate a little, maybe you will be able to see the drivers' faces shaded by the visors when the vroooom by.
2. Ummm fellas, the cars already went by, no point in looking over there now.

(1. Right most lamp to all the lamps with their heads turned to the right.
2. Left most lamp to all the lamps in 1

Bored...

Hey guys, lets leave, this mono-act play is so boring. Besides he's been sulking why we got him to watch a play instead of a movie.
(Left most projection light to the middle two, and referring to the last one as sulking)

Stop!

Stop! sky is the limit! not permitted to proceed further :)

Antiques are for collectors

Someday even this photo showing cars and skyscrapers would be placed in museums, with the caption... Chicago Downtown, a century ago ...

Artsy coke :)

The stranger

Each bonfire is a stranger to everyone around, sends out sparks at unpredictable times. No one knows how many hours/days it will continue to burn. And in the end after offering all its heat to everyone, it burns for itself.....

Block formation []

Soldiers! block formation!!!!!

Three Kings

The Jaipur Convention, circa 2007AD

Qutab Minar complex in New Delhi

Measuring distances between stars ?!?!?!

Imagine 400 years ago, such large structures were put up for measuring astronomical distances. They had better technology back then, compared to us, who belong to the tech. generation.
Jantar Mantar in New Delhi

Lotus temple?!?!

Ever heard of the Lotus temple? well the people who follow the baha'i religion meditate in this temple. I don't prefer this concrete lotus to the real lotus... I mean the Lotus Elise or Exige ;)

Presenting... The Qutab Minar

From what seems to be the largest keyhole in the world... look look, a whole friggin tower fits in this keyhole

Second Installment

Another angle to see the Qutab Minar from. Well, the most common perspective actually....

Final installment...

I guess too many pictures of the same tower can be a bit boring...

War n Peace

Observe the tip of the flute, an instrument that is harmonious when played right. Also observe the 'chakra', a weapon used in battles.... funny ain't it? war n peace together.

God, izzat u there?

Reaching out for the almighty :)
