Braving the Snow

Pigeon in the snow

It has been snow­ing hard in the UK for past cou­ple of days.These wood pigeons in our back­yard did not have any­where warmer to go.

So they just puffed up and braved the snow and cold.

Olympic welcome

I am sort­ing out some of the Lon­don 2012 Olympics images. They are two weeks over­due now. I think it is bet­ter post­ing them later than never doing it. So, I am going to post a few of those shots in com­ing days.

What bet­ter images to start than the shots of cheery wel­come every­body received at the Olympic venues. The best part of Lon­don 2012 was the numer­ous smi­ley vol­un­teers who were too happy to help. The whole expe­ri­ence was more enjoy­able because of them.

Did I men­tion the very  cheer­ful policemen?

Indian Boxer Vikas Kris­han fight­ing Amer­i­can Errol Spence at Lon­don 2012 Olympics box­ing event yes­ter­day night. He won 13–11 but the vic­tory was over­turned later because of an appeal from his rival and he is now out of the com­pe­ti­tion. It is really unfor­tu­nate for India. Vikas fought very well and it was great to watch him .Well done Vikas!

Race for Life 2012– A big Thank You

 

It was girls’ day out in Wind­sor on 17 June. Girls of all ages — from lit­tle ones to grannies were out there -  clad in pink and brim­ming
with enthu­si­asm. I com­pleted my first ever 5k run with all these lovely ladies. I did it in around 40 min­utes, com­bin­ing running,walking and jog­ging.  After my lousy train­ing, I am happy that I man­aged the run.
Thank you very much to all of you for your sup­port and encour­age­ment. Spe­cial thanks to all my gen­er­ous spon­sors who helped me raise £110 for Can­cer Research UK.
Hearty Con­grat­u­la­tions to all the gor­geous gals who par­tic­i­pated and raised money for this noble cause. You were all amazing!

Mr. Poirot

Both me and my hus­band are big fans of ITV’s Poirot series which dra­ma­tizes Agatha Christie’s Poirot nov­els. So it was a pleas­ant sur­prise when we met the Poirot actor David Suchet in a small cafe in Bath. He was really nice and kindly allowed me to pho­to­graph him. Here is to a fab­u­lous actor who has brought to life my favourite fic­tional char­ac­ter, Mr.Hercule Poirot.
