All Things Dark

Many people think dark things are kool and that they rock [maan!]. Why? They don't have a clue. And as I have seen in last 7-8 years, the more urban you get, the more educated, the more online, the more americanized, the more you post on newsgroups ... you start leaning left ... towards darker things. You find the darkness in the whole Iraq affair blacker than the space, or the dark in the "Dark Knight" (aka Batman) more intersting than the absense of light in million homes, or Internet underground more chilling than when a lightning crack in a whoozing thunderstorm raises your hair few inches high.

Dark things are in. Dark things are critcally acclaimed. Left is the place to be and darkness is what should be seen from inside. Its time to look into your dark side and explore it to the end. From Alan Moore to Ramgopal Varma, from Harry Potter to Dilbert, from Kyoki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi to Sarkar ... everything is getting darker. We live in dark times.

So, here are a few [literally] dark pictures. We hope they too get critically acclaimed :-).


The Mulshi dam has a power generation plant, so that many homes should not keep in dark, and you can see the outgoing high tension wires hanging above the lake in the picture above. Making the scene darker is the thought that, if the wires break and fall into the lake below ... there are so many people taking a dip on the weekends! ;-)


And we, by the way, believe in the way of the Buddha ... the middle path :-) ;-).
