Bangalore(Bengaluru) then and now ...

Bangalore is one of the fastest growing city in Asia now a days.Bangalore has seen tremendous changes as i have observed since 8 years....in these years Bangalore has got International Airport(Biggest in India), Hi tech Hospitals ,Volvo Bus(Blore is only city which is running Volvo buses in India for public service from government),Vikasa soudha(Administration),Flyovers,more IT companies,more one ways ...


































































Although Bangalore has grown & has become Internationally recognised city , Cost of living has become very high in terms of House Rent ,Cinema Tickets(Multiplexes,forums),Auto-Taxi Charges,vegetables...Now a days we can see still people struggling to get even a site of their own even though are working since decades (Forget about constructing a house),struggling a get a seat in BMTC buses,sturuggling to get a seat in Reputed schools..may be due to lack of Support from the Government toward loacal kannadigas(people of karnataka)...
Of course Change is constant,but slow change is always better.

India in Olympic Games

Olympic Games...Its now the time almost the whole world is eagerly watching for the Olympic Games which is going on in Beijing,China ..When it comes about Indians Performance at previous Olympic games , its not so memorable except few (like Hockey,Tennis,Weight Lifting)...Main reason of Indian sports persons not performing well is mainly due to Government, as its giving too much of Importance to Cricket.

Although Indians are performing well in Tennis,Shooting,Kabaddi,Long jump,Chess,footbal & couple of other Sports at International Competitions even Sponsors are not giving support to these sports..

A contingent of 56 athletes is representing India, and they have a support-staff of 42 officials. The athletics contingent is the largest, with 16 athletes.

"Its Good that India Won its 1st Individual Gold in present Olympic Games through Abhinav Bindra in Shooting.We Indians have a ray of hope in Boxing atleast of Bronze medal if the remaining two boxers "Jitender and Vijender" wins in quarter finals tomorrow.

Hope as time passes they will get their recognition & support..Why Goverment,people & Sponsors are not thinking about this .....?

Indias 61st Independence Day

As Our country India is celebrating 61st Independence day lets recall our 1st Indepencence day ...(PHOTO : Aug. 15, 1947: Mountbatten swears Nehru in as Prime Minister of India ) .

Although India has progressed in many fields still a lot of problems still exists like excess of Corruption in Government organizations, population explosion,lack of basic education among poor,excess of urbanisation which is leading farmers to sell their valuable lands for sake of money to become rich in a short span of time (which is not a real growth).... But we should be proud that India has progressed in many fields such as IT(Information Technology),BT,Research in Space & launching of many satellites & competing with many Developed countries.

Lets Celebrate Happy Independence day & remember those who laid their life for Indias Independence .....Lets their soul rest in Peace...

Different Job & Faces of common mans Life ...

Here are some of the photographs taken , representing people doing different jobs & getting involved in different activity for the sake of money & life...Photography is one of my passtime....
