As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words. Looking at an old photo brings back thoughts and memories that you could not have possibly captured in pages of diaries.
For quite some time now, I have been trying to use Flickr to create a timeline based on photos. However, the format did not seem particularly appropriate… and hence, this photo-blog.
The old photos are scanned versions of the printed copies (clicked using the film-based cameras); and many of the new ones are clicked using a cellphone. The photos posted here do not claim to have any artistic value or aesthetic appeal. They are merely a way of documenting the life and times of an ordinary person over the years.
As the title suggests, the blog will be bilingual; some of the the posts will be in English, तर काही मराठीत.
The entries prior to today have been backdated to keep the photos and the related years in sync.

Mango Delight!
फ़ळांचा राजा म्हटलं की आंबाच डोळ्यांसमोर येतो.. काही लोकांना आंबा आवडत नाही हे खरंय.. पण काही लोकांना ऐश्वर्या (रॊय असतानाची) पण आवडत नाही... एकेकाचा कर्मभोग, दुसरे काय!
तर फ़ळांचा राजा म्हणजे आंबा, आणि आंब्यांमधील बेताज बादशहा म्हणजे हापूस. मला स्वत:ला मात्र हापूस-इतकाच आमच्या गोव्याचा मानकुराद आंबाही तेव्हढाच प्रिय आहे. शिवाय, घरचं झाड असल्याने मनसोक्त खायची सोय!

IIPL Memoirs
I was rummaging through the photos on my machine, and came across these photos. Thought of sharing those here to rekindle some memories of the old times….
