At the recent iDiya National Social Venture Ideas Competition, there was a photography competition too. And the below photos of Diyas (oil lamps) laid out to dry won a prize. I received a memento form Saina Nehwal herself. 🙂
The image was taken at Pottery Town, Bangalore in a dimly lit room with only reflected sunlight to illuminate the shot.
Over the coming weeks we will be showcasing more pictures taken by the photographers at Noisy Pilgrims that have won or been recognized in other ways.
Almost killed this guy while looking for birds to snap…
The dainty Green Bee Eater is a sight to behold. It seems to ponder on high branches before leaping into the air and diving steeply to catch insects. Again it ponders a bit before actually eating the prey.
Check out the Blue Tailed Bee Eater here.
The pic shows just one of the many Candle light Vigils for the terrible tragedy that has unfolded over the last few days in India.
The brutal gang rape of a young girl in Delhi has resulted in shock, despair and shame on what it means to be Indian in a country that can’t treat its daughters right. Countless reports of rape have been pouring in from other parts of India validating the view that this country just doesn’t keep its promise when it comes to women’s safety and their freedom.
The patronizing reaction of the Central Government and the Home Minister have only contributed to revulsion and disbelief on how the Rulers of this country view themselves as Royalty. Peaceful protesters have been assaulted with water canons and lathi wielding policemen.
The death of the rape victim has set in a solemn and hopefully introspective mood throughout India as we enter 2013.
