Travelling Imagination

Tuesday the 28th was Diwali and our New Year’s day fell on the 29th — the Festival of Lights — unfortunately I could not go home for the celebration — but staying back — i witnessed a beautiful array of colour and light — mixed with the people — families -&- friends

The temple (Rameshwar) down the road along with Sahara Computers organized an evening filled with fireworks — Celina Jaitley – Kim Sharma & Upen Patel attended as well (Bollywood Actors) as did Claudia Henkel but I don’t think anybody recognized her immediately — oh and Jacob Zuma (president of the ruling party of our sweet country) — but anyway enough of them — enjoy every photo — live through the night in the next few minutes

^Lights/Lamps light the way

^Jaysha – Mesha & Tusrika

^Almost every attempt at capturing the fireworks were hampered with the street lights
Guess I have still much to learn

^the Fire Brigade was a must at the venue – not the house the Temple

^Rushil — Mitesh

^I could not wait for the temple to start — so i ‘played’ with the truck

^and so it began

^i know the framing wasn’t perfect — but i did not want the street light in the frame
so i only managed to capture this

^Hitesh & his daughter

^Lucky & Kashmira

^Viks & Yana

^Bogs & wife

^Lucky – Sheelin – Ragas

^i know this is not really good — but if you were there — you would have seen the streets
light up beautifully — look at the next 2
