Rain always reminds me of "Ijaazat - the movie" and Ijaazat always reminds of my chilhhood friend Motu aka Motu, "Its a code" :).

It was year 1998, hmm... I guess so, we been talking about music and then the subject turned on to the favourites. He said he likes Asha more than lata and "Choti si kahani se" is his favourite song and those days my favourites was Kishore Da,though I never listned to that song at that time but it remained somewhere in my memory bank.

After few years, in 2000 I guess, when I was doing "Alpha Maya" somebody played that song during the practice hours and the song was so good that it became an essential part of my playlist. Then I surfed the net found few other songs of the movie and they all were equally good and that's interesting. One day I saw that movie being broadcasted on television and I got the chance to some part of the movie but that part was very depressing.

Because of interest in the movie, It happened with me several times that I saw Ijaazat on shelves of several music stores, but did not bought it because of the impression that it is depressing. But could not stop myself in buying that movie and one day I bought that movie, now that DVD remained in my CD rack unopened for several months and for your information it is the year 2009.

One day, while I was looking for a movie in DVD rack, I got that movie in my hand and then I realized that I haven't seen it and its been a long time. I thought why not to watch it today sop i opened up the wrapper and played it.

Start of the movie is very very creative and artistic. Photographs of Darjiling and rain and song at the background "Choti si kahani se..." amazing amazing amazing , You start to feel the shiver and the feel of rain. But that day I could watch that movie completly coz I dont know when I got in to deep sleep .

Next day I continued with the movie and can you imagine, the time I completed the movie it was raining out side. The Ijaazat impression continued, I picked up the camera and the bike and went into the rain to shoot something.Few of clicks you can see here

Now it is not that I am going the rain for the first time but the realization is different. I was free, just enjoying the rain with now fear.

Simply enjoy.

Sukhna Lake

Whenever I buy a new camera I love to have first click from this place.

I have been experimenting with my new cam SONY DSC-H50 from last several days and Shooting a sunrise was in mind all through.

That day I woke up early in the morning, it was 5 O'clock in the morning and sun rays were coming from my room's window and inviting me to shoot a wonderful sunrise.

I picked the bike and rushed towards the lake.

As usual the the scene was very fantastic. Fragrance of early morning dew, chirping of sparrows and light instrumental music.Good news was the sun hadn't risen yet.So it was time to experiment more.

So I opened the lens cover and started shooting.After shooting for few minutes, when the sun rays started coming up I realized that I could not shoot a sunrise today coz of around the hills.

This is the result of few experimental shots.
