Announcing 'India Week'

I'm a big fan of "National Geographic". Sometimes I like to pretend that I am a professional photographer and that I work for Nat Geo: that's my dream job! This makes MasalaDad smile because he thinks he's a better photographer. I tell him he could also work with me if that's true. :)

I came to India in Nov. 2003. Since then, I've been collecting interesting pictures that would help me show all my non-Indian friends the new things that I find here. At some point during my first year in India, I thought about creating a photo blog and I even got my first camera phone to help me collect pictures. Unfortunately, I lost some shots when my hard disk crashed a few months ago.

A few weeks ago I was watching National Geographic Channel and got an idea from their programming style: I decided to have my own 'India Week'!

All this is to tell you that in the next few days I will show you the pictures that I have been collecting. Each day will be for a different category. The pictures don't document each subject in an exhaustive manner and I don't mean to generalize, so keep in mind that when I say 'India', I mainly mean Maharastra, which is where I've been living.

I hope you'll enjoy seeing 'India' through my lens...and who knows? maybe you'll even think that some of this is 'National Geographic' material :)
