My very first vehicle


This was the first ever motorized vehicle I owned. I purchased it out of all the hard earned money during the dot.com boom. It's a 1976 ex-army "Bullet" - Royal Enfield. Nicked as the "Mad Bull" also. It was 350cc of raw power. I drove it all over the town, and troubled my neighbours with it.

Many guys in college got to know me cos of this, but alas! All good things don't last for long. I had to sell it off. The engine had conked off, also due it being more than 25 years old, need RTO clearance and other crap.

But that did not deter my spirit. I finally got myself a new Bullet. 'The Silver Bullet'. The new one is an enhanced model of the same. 350cc, but this time improved with gas shock absorbers.

I even got a better back rest for my wife and crash guards for a safer long drive...

It's got everything better, but I still miss the 'THUMP' of my dear old mad bull.

The Church - Shimla


The Church is situated at 'The Ridge'. It is a very old church, we were not allowed inside as renovation was still in progress. The church has also featured in the movie 'Black'

Sunrise at Shimla



On my honeymoon to Shimla, this was one of first pics I took with the camera, we are at the station, where the train halts for breakfast, (I don't recall the name), but it was a beautiful sight.
