Picture of the day: Hired cooks!

Men who toil to make our festivals sweet... all with a smile on their face, never mind the sweat and the grime! Clicked during the middle of last year.

Wish you all a very happy Makar Sankranti :)

Rewind: A photographic journey through 2010

Sunset at Pimpalgaon Joga Lake, Malshej Ghat

The year 2010 may have come to an end, but the time to look back and enjoy some of the great moments of 2010 has only just begun! The advantage a photographer has is that he / she can capture those moments and present them with his / her own unique perspective.

In an effort to share with you some of the sights / moments I have been privileged to witness in 2010, I have put together a compilation of some of my Best clicks of 2010. This compilation is based on both viewer feedback received on Flickr as well as my discretion. Every picture is like a baby and it is difficult to chose the better one. Hence, I have taken the liberty and been generous with my pickings.

Here is the link to the Flickr gallery - My favourite clicks in 2010
Alternatively, see it on Flickriver in in-line format - My favourite clicks in 2010


There's another interesting compilation that I have put together, titled the People of India. It is a collection of mostly street photographs and a few self-portraits (ahem!). Not all are from the year 2010, but most are. In case you are interested, you can see them Here on Flickr (Flickriver link).

I hope you have a great time viewing them. Please feel free to comment on the pictures. In case you come across a picture, which in your opinion, does not deserve to be in the gallery then do let me know since it would help me in trimming the gallery.

As an aside, 2010 was the second year of 'My Bioscope' and during this year it went from being merely a photo-blog to a travel & photography blog. Consequently the readership and hits ('eyeballs' as they say in Silicon Valley) have also gone up. Today a bulk of our readers come via search engines. I would also like to personally thank each one of you who has been reading 'My Bioscope' regularly - through Google Followers, Facebook Fan page, RSS Feed, Bookmarks, etc. and I look forward to your continued patronage...!

Cheers to 2011! May you all have a wonderful, healthy and a fun filled year ahead :)
