Here is shot taken at Gaya Street, Kota Kinabalu during one of the street outing by FOP. I was taking a rest on one of the benches available and say this interesting looking lady. She has this blank look.. As though she is looking hard into the future. Perhaps she is wandering what is in store for her in the future. Comments appreciated.

I took this shot late last year, during my cousin's engagement. The coconut plays an integral part in a Hindu ceremony. A quick check on wiki yielded the following result.

  • A coconut (Sanskrit: narikela) is an essential element of rituals in Hindu tradition, and often is decorated with bright metal foils and other symbols of auspiciousness.
  • It is offered during worship to a Hindu god or goddess. Irrespective of their religious affiliation, fishermen of India often offer it to the rivers and seas in the hopes of having bountiful catches.
  • In Hindu wedding ceremonies, a coconut is placed over the opening of a pot, representing a womb.
  • Hindus often initiate the beginning of any new activity by breaking a coconut to ensure the blessings of the gods and successful completion of the activity.
  • The Hindu goddess of well-being and wealth, Lakshmi, is often shown holding a coconut.
  • The coconut has a role in Indian daily life. In South India, for all the functions, where prayer take place, there, the Hindus, keep the coconut and banana, along with other 'Pooja' materials, and break open the coconut and after that only any kind of Pooja / prayers / activities will be started.
  • In the Temple Town Palani, before going for the worship of God Murugan, at the foot hills of Palani Hills, for the Ganesha, a coconut will be broken at the place where it is marked for that purpose. Every day, thousands of coconuts are broken, and some devotees break even 108 coconuts at a time as per the prayer.

Quite an old image from my archive. Taken about a year ago while I was doing my rounds at my father's plantation. This was taken using natural lighting. Did some cropping to highlight the main subject. This shot particularly like this shot, as the framing and composition is just nice. The details are quite clear as well. C&C are most welcomed.

Brand New Beginning for Images By Sharma©

Howdy folks...

Been a long... long... long... long.... long.... time since I last did any blogging. Was kinda busy with work and and whatnot for the past year or so. As much as I tried, I couldn't find the time to do any blogging. However, on a more positive note, the viewership of this blog has been quite encouraging for a non productive blog. Based on my site tracker, the viewership has been in the region of 100 for every month. Not bad eh. Here are the statistics from my site tracker.



Anyhow, moving forward, I'll try to update this blog as much as I can, depending on the material that I have in hand. As for now, I would concentrate all my resources and time into making this blog a success. I will try to devote as much time as possible towards making this blog a success.

The reason for my renewed enthusiasm in blogging is basically I would like to take my photography to the next level. I am still shooting using the same camera and lenses as I did before, but I have already planned for some major upgrades in the months to come. This particular blog would act as my online gallery and also as a portfolio to showcase my photography works.

Enough ranting for now, I have a few items already lined up for my posting, so stay tuned for great things to come.

Happy New Year 2011...!!!!!!
