Trip to kodaikanal

My recent trip to Kodaikanal was one of the wonderful trip I had. The Indian railways kept up to their expectation by reaching the Kodai road some 35-40 minutes late. We got the 8-o' clock bus and believe me it took more than 3.5 hours to reach KK. The condition of the bus was so bad too pull with so many people(around 55). All our foul morale fled away as the weather was so pleasant. We started our expedition with the visit to Bryant Park. I was elated as the rain was just stopped and I got great feed for my camera.



Then we had been to the walk around lake followed by a visit to Coaker's walk.

The second day went fast and we packed up for our return journey to Bangalore.

Depth of Field (DOF)


Though developed the hobby of photography quite sometime back, I developed more interest towards Depth of Field (DOF) photos very recently. My recent visit to Kodaikanal ignited my desire and took quite good number of DOFs. With this photo I feel I achieved it quite very well.

Prisoner's dilemma and the Indianness

I am reading the book "Games Indian Play" by V. Raghunathan for which NRN had given the foreword. The book talks about the behavioural nature of the Indian using the Game theory and behavioural science. As per the author, Indians are intelligent, rational as an Individual; however as a group we fail to advance. He explains this behaviour with the analogy of the Prisoner's dilemma which was nice to read. The author never had any hesitate to call a spade a spade. He has written his view forthrightly. Probably I may write a review here once I finish the book.
