…Clueless

Yeah, I know. You’re pobably saying, “This guy is a nut. Its Hello, Good Morning”.

But this post is regarding the weather on the 9th of July in Chandigarh. The city received its first Monsoon showers (and hasn’t received good rainfall since).
I woke up around 11 in the morning (actually Dad forced me). Dad asked me (ordered me) to accompany him to the Industrial Area. I put on a shirt and my shorts, grabbed my phone and hopped into the car. Here are some shots I captured on the way. They are not that clear but hey, what more do you want from a mobile phone??!!!!

Here is how Chandigarh looked at 11.04 AM

This is a “pure, untouched” picture. I haven’t applied any effects or filters to it. The sky was orange/yellow with dust all around.

11.07 AM

Notice how the sky slowly darkens in a couple of minutes. This shot was captured from within the car.

11.12 AM

This photograph is my fav. Its total darkness and all you can see is the silhouette of a tree with the clouds in the background. Awesome for a camera phone!!

The rest of the pictures aren’t that great but since I clicked them, WTF!!

11.14 AM

Near Tribune Chowk.

Tribune Chowk

11.15 AM

The trees in front of the Gurudwara in Industrial Area Phase II.

Random Pic

Now after the sky pissed on us, the dust settled. The whole city was washed clean.

2.45 PM

I captured this image from a moving car. Came out beautifully. This is the roundabout before the Govt. Press traffic lights on the Madhya Marg (I’m going towards the Lake).

2.46 PM

On the road to the Lake.

2.49 PM

… just about to take a right turn towards sector 10.

2.52 PM

Zoomed in on a mutt in front of the HDFC ATM.

Except for the first pic, all the others were captured from moving vehicles.

CONCLUSION :

• Chandigarh isn’t called the City Beautiful for nothing!!
• The N70′s camera is pretty good.

1. When you wish you hadn’t said it! : In the afternoon, Arjun called up and enquired about my plans for the holidays. I told him that I had none and would do and go wherever the other wish to. We thought about paragliding, going to Morni, Kasauli etc but conveyance was a problem. So finally i told him that why don’t we explore [...]...
2. Early morning getaway… : So Anjum called me up around midnight yesterday and asked me to accompany Him, Abhit and Khanna for a short trip uphills. I agreed. I slept around 2AM after texting ‘n all. I knew I could never wake up aroung 5.30AM (that’s the time Anjum wanted to leave) so I had asked them to come [...]...
3. Presenting. . . : My new phone. . .the Nokia N70-1. Its basically the N70 with a black faceplate and a reduced size 128MB memory card. Still dunno how dad suddenly agreed to buy me the phone. I was going to buy 3250 but dad bought me this. Got it on the 28th of July along with an AirTel [...]...
4. OK. TATA. Bye Bye. : So before Arjun a.k.a Paaji went back to Banglore, we wanted to meet up for one last time. Last night, Abhit messaged me and asked me if we all could meet up and go to the lake today morning (I mentioned that in the last post). I told Pranshu that we would meet him outside [...]...
5. Chandigarh War Memorial : So Khanna and I were wandering around aimlessly when we landed up at the Bougainvillea Garden in Sector 3, Chandigarh. The park look deserted and both of us were in a senti mood. So we decided to just sit there and let the worries slip away. But once we got inside, we spotted a number [...]...
