On the evening of Deepavali, driving by the narrow lanes of the city was an experience of its kind! You never know what's in store for you!

The smell emanated by various fireworks, seeing people celebrating the festival with bountiful joyfulness, and distractions due to Phonophobia (fear of loud sounds) are some of the prominent aspects of this wonderful festival of lights!

At the fall of dusk, I decided to capture the stunning beauty of night sky lit with fireworks! It was, indeed, spectacular!

DAZZLING SHOW OF FIREWORKS!

Here's the link to the video!

Watch and share!

Do post your best pictures of Diwali celebrations in the comments section!

Many people come up with their favorite destinations and ask me if I have visited them. Interestingly, my answer will be a NO.

My interests are chasing destinations, that are, typically out of reach of tourists. That's one fundamental difference between a tourist and a traveler. You know what I mean!

Obviously, when there are less people around, the ambience remains great!

Now, you know why I choose to remain quiet!

Here's one such spectacular destination!

PURE BLISS!

THE ENTIRE NATION AWAITS A HISTORIC MOMENT!

Late Scientist & former President of our country Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam's significance of India's Moon Mission will come to fruition! As Mr.Kalam said, "Chandrayaan will electrify the entire country!"

The moment when Vikram (the lander) touches down the lunar surface and Pragyan (the rover) rolls its way out is going to electrify the entire nation!

The World's attention will be on the proceedings of Chandrayaan 2! Only three countries tasted success in lunar missions - US, the former USSR (now Russia), and China.

However, India will achieve no other nation has!

The one aspect that makes Chandrayaan 2 mission unique is that of landing on the dark side of the moon, specifically the south polar region!

Let's hope and pray for a successful landing!

It will, indeed, be a proud moment for the entire nation!

IMPORTANT TIME LINES:

Sep 7 - 01:55 AM onward: Vikram (the Lander) attempts lunar landing.

Sep 7 - 05:30 AM onward: Pragyan (the Rover) makes it way out to the lunar surface.

So, grab your cup of caffeine and keep yourself awake!
Watch the historic unfolding of events Live!

This photograph shot from my home shows the bright side of the moon! The complex mission of Chandrayaan 2 targets the dark side of the moon (we cannot see from Earth)!

Here's a YouTube link that you can follow all the actions Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2srV-bEi_DU

TAKE A GUESS! MADRAS DAY SPECIAL!

I know Post box such as these may be a thing of the past!

In the current technological era, emails and other communication apps may have replaced this age old postal mode of communication. These days we seldom pay attention to the hundreds of messages we receive.

However, I can fondly recollect the days when I frequently throng the post office, purchase stamps, identify the right post box and drop the letter in. And, back home we had a small letter box and I would constantly check if there were any new letters! Such was the curiosity those days!

What was your memorable moment with postal letters?

And, can you identify the location of this post box?

Hint: Observe the heritage building in the backdrop.
