A snap shot of Twenty Four Hours

Greek photographer Chris Kotsiopoulos
 has created a stunning panoramic image that combines photos taken from sunrise to sunset in one frame.
Hundreds of images were shot 30 hours in Sounio, Greece, before they were digitally-stiched together to represent Earth’s rotation.
At times, Kotsiopoulos was forced to use a hairdryer to keep the lens of his camera from getting too moist when the temperatures dropped.
“I had to stay in the same place alone for 30 hours in total to get everything right, prepare and take the pictures,” he says.
“At night it became even more difficult because I had to keep my eyes open and inspect the camera lens for moisture.”

Mixed "Misal" of Mumbai

"Misal" is a quintessential Mumbai food.

Any mumbaikar will tell you where his best "misal" place is.

"misal" is basically a mix of various legumes or pulses which are cooked with onions, tomatoes and Mumbai Spices. 

Sprinkled on this basic maharashtrain  "usal" is the gujarati mix mumbai "farsan" and then added are dollops of various chutneys which make the final "misal" unique!!

Well, after describing the foodie "misal" let me tell you how I've added those very same legumes as the base for my minimalist flower display, added a touch of locally available 'ram bann' stalks and thrown it all together to form my floral "misal"

A Southern Dusk

Southern Dusk.... a poem by Sudha Kanago

Jasmine

Chennai smiles with fresh jasmine,

As the peacock blue ocean turns a dull blue,

The last pink cloud chases the edge of the heaving waters,

And the evening aarati in a passing roadside temple,

Lightens up a weary day.
