Free lunch at Cafe TANSTAAFL

Cafe TANSTAAFL is the cafeteria at IIMA and stands for the adage "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch". The adage was originally stated by the British economist Alfred Marshall.

Feeling cold!

Wanderings in Bandra

Wanderlust took me to Bandra, Mumbai in the last leg of the last year and there, I shot 'em all...

There were some, busy fishing...

some came in groups...

and some, very alone...

some came with children...

and some with family...

and some couples too...

and some more couples...

and even more couples...

yet, the sea roared on...

अनार

Let's swim!

A cute one

It's just a cute slide-shot. The pic was used by Dr. Robert Engle, the Nobel Laureate for Economics, 2003, in a presentation at a conference in Mumbai and I just happened to be there to capture this :)

Peck those woods

उत्तरायण का प्रथम सूर्य

निकला पहला अरविन्द आज

देखता अनिन्द्य रहस्य साथ

सौरभ वसना समीर बहती


कानों में प्राणों की कहती

- सूर्यकान्त त्रिपाठी 'निराला'

It ain't no mirror image

Grounded

So much of preparation...

and so much of efforts...

but sometimes,
Life just doesn't take-off!

Mist and Clarity

So little done... So much to do

इन्तज़ार - चार आयाम

Angry Old ..... Turtle

एक बरहमन ने कहा है कि ये साल अच्छा है...

ज़ुल्म की रात बहुत जल्द ढलेगी अब तो

आग चूल्हों मे हर इक रोज़ जलेगी अब तो

भूख के मारे कोई बच्चा नहीं रोयेगा

चैन की नींद हर इक शख्स यहाँ सोयेगा

आँधी नफ़रत की चलेगी ना कहीं अब के बरस

प्यार की फ़स्ल उगाएगी ज़मीं अब के बरस

ओस और धूप के सदमे ना सहेगा कोई

अब मेरे देस में बेघर ना रहेगा कोई




दिल के खुश रखने को गालिब ये खयाल अच्छा है
