Yesteryear's Pride

Forgotten Pride of the Past.

Today's India has thousands of 2-wheeler companies producing millions of vehicles everyday. We get to see lots of 2-wheelers in and around the city. Surveys suggest that there is one bike every two citizen of in country. So, basically, there are innumerable number of bikes in India. But, think about 10-15 years ago. We didn't have so many companies, so many models and so many bikes in the country. But, during that time, owning a 2-wheeler was considered a luxury and if you owned a 4-wheeler, you're among the richest of the city. But, those days, the bikes didn't dominate the 2-wheeler segment but, the scooters did. The roads were filled with Vespas and all sorts of scooters zipping past the cars and other vehicles. And one of the most successful scooters was the Bajaj Chetak. The Bajaj company started the production at only some certain factories as they were not sure of the success but, as the productions grew, the waiting list and dates farthened and Bajaj started producing them at all possible factories. Yes, it was a must for all the studs and flirts of the town who rode around the city with their lovers. But, today there are only a few thousand left who still ride around in their Chetaks. Others are left behind in the crap yards.

Good news!

Hi guys, how are you all?
Now, there are two really good news for all of you.

Lately, I was thinking that all these photos that I share with all of you need to be shared with the world as well. Of course, I'm sharing with the world but, you know, more efficiently. So, I just came up with this idea of creating a new Instagram account for our little blog. That's good news isn't it?
So, what are you waiting for. Have a instagram account? Go and follow @interconnectd and be in touch with everything that's happening with the blog. :D

Welcome to Instagram, interconnectd!

That's one good news, now here's the other one. I don't know whether you guys have noticed or not, the pictures that have been uploaded don't have a watermark. (What's a watermark?) Watermark is a transparent logo kind of a thing that is applied to pictures to protect it from being stolen. So, if someone tries to steal my pictures they won't be able to as it will have a stamp of interconnectd in it.
So, in order to protect these pictures I created a watermark for our very own blog!
You will be able to see the watermark in the next pictures I upload. So, keep that curiosity running and wait for the next post!
Till then,
Bye and Happy Rakhsha Bandhan! :)
रक्षाबन्धन की खूब सारी शुभकामनाएँ !

The Nature's players

As the title suggests this one is yet again a post related to nature, it's wonders and it's ingredients. Nature is never complete without us, the living beings, the animals. The leaves, the animals, the insects all these are just a  few to be named that make up the nature and complement it to the best possible limits. And so, after capturing a few images I somehow realized that all that I have clicked so far are all a part of the nature and not man made by any way. Just the gift of god directly to this beautiful nature.

I live in Mumbai, a place where one of the most important people of the world live. And it's quite obvious that they live in tight security and are almost impossible to keep track of. But, there is no security in the world which can protect you from these stalkers. They very confidently roam around your house no matter who you are and how important you are. Yes, these are the insects that are always a sighting especially in the rainy season. This one was playing I guess in my home. Lying upside down.

Explorers at home.

 The nature, like I said is never complete without it's living aspect. That's the trees, plants and most importantly, the animals. Here's introducing you to one the major parts of my family. My little turtle. A turtle being one of the longest surviving creatures of the world living up to 100-150 years at an average also have a religious and cultural history to them. They are said to bring luck to your entire family and are said to be god's creatures who take all your worries away and mount them on their back.
This little one is nothing like it's fellow counter parts. It completely destroys the myth that turtles are lazy & slow commuters. This one is so energetic, it jumps out of its tub and runs around in the house all on itself. Ha! Sometimes I have a hard time looking out for it!

One different then all

"You need to be really lucky in order to see the nature's ultimate."

I actually experienced this saying when I walked pass one of the nature's ultimate makings. I was just strolling in the garden when this suddenly caught my eye. It was a semi-transparent leaf. Semi-transparent leaves are really rare as they are formed when dead leaves fallen off the trees are left undisturbed for a considerable amount of time under the sun and lose out all their color and finally are left only possessing it's veins. It's even more difficult to find in regular gardens as most people step over fallen leaves or are sweeped away by the cleaners. It's so beautiful to find magical things that nature does, so silently and you have to be really attentive to spot these things. Glad I didn't miss this one. 

Magical nature's delight

The nature never stops to amuse you. You just need to be ready to accept it. The nature will always leave you astonished when you're least expecting it.
I received all these gifts in the form of sights and glimpses. No one can be a better chooser than the nature itself in the making and being able to experience it is even better. :D
शुक्रिया!

Versatility

In a world of the poor and the changing. One has got to keep in pace with what's happening. The poor, the less resourceful, the backward have to do all sorts of things in order to do what other people can do with the ultimate ease. But this is what makes these people think harder, more creative and most importantly, Out Of The Box. I saw and realized this when I saw this... 

Versatility.

If one has to open up a vegetable shop. One can easily buy a small shop and start off. But, what about the less resourceful? What can they do? This is what made my mind click. This man here couldn't afford a shop to open up a buisness. So, all he did is to get a scrap Auto Rickshaw and use it in a completely not thought of way. It's so versatilely used. And this what distinguishes normal people form the special one. No one could've ever thought of using this in this way.
It's truly said,"When you have nothing, even garbage is something useful."
