Plenty of travelling happened in 2007, though not as much as in the year before that. It was not a great year personally, but the first two weeks of new year have been as good as it can get. A look back at all the wanderings in 2007.

Mridula assigns what is called a meme, which I wonder if is just a new name for tags. Whatever be it, it goes like this:
“Here is the new meme. It is simple, easy and gives no room for whining one usually associates with a meme. All you have to do is select and upload one photo that you have clicked this year that is special to you. Could be anything…aesthetic, technical or personal. Also, put in a short note why it is special.”
There was some delay on getting on with this, blame it on my computer which wasn’t working for past 3 days.
And now, allow me to complain, like a man must. How good is to ask mother to pick her favourite child? Well, a bit of whining had to happen before I get down to business. Here is the image.
Taken at Thadiyandamol in May 2007. It is an image I have been working on for full three years before I managed to get it just the way I want. That does all the explanation to favourite it.
The next duty is to pass it on, and that’s where I get a little troubled. But then, surely you, who is reading it, would want to have a look back at all the pix you made through the year? And while you are at it, surely you would want to post it on your blog?
The words that are running in my mind right now..
