Enlightened Swimming Pool

First photo taken with my new cell phone. Its our building's swimming pool, atop the club house, which next to the gym, which is atop the recreation hall, which in turn in text to the game room. In short, its one packed affair. The photo is taken in the night mode from the terrace, and so its a bit darkish and grainy.

The pool is lighted up in the evenings and people make lots use of it because of the you-can-fry-your-eggs-on-my-head summer. We haven't yet made use of it, but soon should. Although we spent saturday playing carrom and snooker there.

And otherwise, days have been hot, lives have been busy, things have been routine and we have been lazy. We hope only the last part continues :-).

New Cellphone

Thats my new cellphone: Nokia 6230i. It has a 1.3 megapixel camera, with 1 hour video. It can play MP3, Windows Media, MPEG and few other popular audio and video formats. It also has a FM radio and ... can record from it :-). It has 512 MB memory, so it can store enough songs and videos. It supports Bluetooth, Infrared and can sync with your PC quite easily.

The first thing you notice about this phone is the screen resolution. Its damn crisp. The screen is bigger and has almost double the resolution than usual phones. When you see the 3D menus, smooth fonts, and cleanly delivered images, you fall in love with it. The menus are also heavily configurable and the user interface, like all Nokia phones, is quite simple yet powerful. It also comes with a cool audio enhancer that improves voice in noisy environments.

Pretty and pretty cool.

Saavdhaan

With apologies to people who can't read and undersand Marathi. Should I feel bad I had a girl behind me on my bike? ;-) Bas!

Rainbow!

It has been raining here almost everyday for the last week or so. Not that it shouldn't, but it usually doesn't. April and May are the months of intense heat and I haven't seen it raining so regularly in these months. But the rain is really a welcome relief. It makes the evenings nicely cold and nights windy, although the days sometimes get very hot and humid when the wind stops just before the rain.

Now, when you have rain along with a brighty-bright sun, you also have a rainbow (see above). In India they call it Indradhanush, the bow of Indra, the king of heaven. I wonder what kind of arrows he shoots from such a beautiful bow. I've also heard that some people have seen the full circle of the rainbow from planes and all ... I don't know if that is true ... could never find a picture of it on the net ... but if its true, it must be damn beautiful.
