I’ve got an exciting news today for my readers. I am really happy to inform that one my work has been published in a book for the first time. A publishing company was looking for pictures of antelope island birds and they found my blog post which featured a few birds shot at the Antelope Island , Utah.
They liked the pictures and was interested in buying the picture for adding in their publication. I am reposting the shot I published in 2009.

I decided to sell the picture for a price and requested them a copy when they launch the book. And they kept their promise and sent me a copy of the book . The name of the book is Planete vivante and currently they launched in french. They will launch the english version soon Here are some of the pictures of the book which features my work . Hope you remember this shot added in my blog last year.

I hope you all remember my old post featuring Shreya – the cute little baby , daughter of my colleague Namrata and my friend Jithesh.

That was when Shreya was 3 weeks old and now she is turning one this month. Namrata’s mom was here and wanted some family pictures through my lens. We decided to capture some Shreya moments at the wheelers farm and was a pleasant evening.
Shreya didn’t bother much before the camera and I was lucky to capture some pictures of this little Gujarati princess .

This is me holding my cute little niece Riya Naroor. I visited my brother’s family in AZ when she was 28 days old. In Kerala tradition (the state where I am from in India ), we celebrate the 28th day after a baby is born. I was fortunate enough that they were in AZ. The trip didn’t fetch me great pictures, as the lighting was not that great and I didn’t want to bother the baby with the flash.After that day I was waiting for my second chance to photograph my niece and publish her pictures in my blog. So here I am, after 8 months, presenting pictures of cute Riya Naroor. I took these pictures in my apartment when they were here recently for a week’s stay in Utah .Enjoy the pictures and do add your comments .

I am glad that I am able to find Kerala art forms being performed in the United States. My wife insisted that we should visit the Hare Krishna temple (in Spanish Fork Utah) to participate in Janmastami celebrations and watch the dance performance by Divya Narayanan and her students . The dance group performed Bharatnatyam. A little bit about the dance form Bharata Natyam -
Bharata Natyam is one of the oldest dance forms of India. It was nurtured in the temples and courts of southern India since ancient times. Later it was codified and documented as a performing art in the 19th century by four brothers known as the Tanjore Quartet whose musical compositions for dance form the bulk of the Bharata Natyam repertoire even today. The art was handed down as a living tradition from generation to generation under the Devadasi system under which women were dedicated to temples to serve the deity as dancers and musicians forming part of the elaborate rituals. These highly talented artists and the male gurus (nattuvanars) were the sole repository of the art until the early 20th century when a renewal of interest in India’s cultural heritage prompted the educated elite to discover its beauty.

Here are some of the pictures I took of the dancer Parvati Radhakrishnan who did a great performance that night .
