Good Morning Kolkata

Woke up in the morning around 0630 and then cycled around 3.5 kilometres to the eastern railway ground. Today being Id there was this flood of devotees dressed smartly in their best whites going for their prayers. Wanted to click them but considering the security around, desisted.

Then played some good football, which was most fun and then headed back home before heading out to office. Yes, worked on Gandhi Jayanti. Frankly I've never understood the funda of a holiday on Gandhi Jayanti. Always appreciated it, but never understood it.

Well this Gandhi Jayanti just had India and US finally signing the nuclear deal, which would ensure cheaper (but not cleaner) electricity. Countries like Bahrain are spending huge amounts of money on cleaner technology and thats the way to go. Nuclear energy should serve just as a stop gap arrangement.

Anyway my morning trips are giving me a lot of semi dark pictures. Some of which are coming out decent. The picture in this post is of the Princep Ghat.

Life sometimes seems like riding a geared bike. sometimes it seems like I'm pedaling hard and furiously and I'm in 2nd gear and sometimes the pace is just fine at 3rd gear while sometimes I can hardly keep up at the 4th gear. BTW I have a 6 gear cycle :) and it's good fun to speed past other cyclists with just a twist of a gear.

Life is as good as you want it to be.

Luv,

P.R.
