Sam's dog

My friend Sam works at the YMCA property near Kamshet. This is his German Shepherd dog. I forgot his name.

Sachin Malvankar - Chota Vakil - Malya

Yet another snap from Daffodils katta. This one is Sachin Malvankar aka chota vakil aka Malya. One of my closest friends. We know each other since we were 9 years old. We have done many things together, including many start up businesses and have been partners in profit and loss (mostly loss). Our friendship is legendary in Vile Parle.

We are always fighting - its our hobby. As kids we used to wrestle. I mean I used ot wrestle, he just stood there. His size is such that he didn't really need to do anything. Initially, we were just acquaintances an school, but our friendship grew through a shared love for trekking and grew both in the city and out of it.

He is currently in Kuwait.

This one has also been clicked on the Daffo katta. The great cook in our group. Used to work for some 5 star hotel. He is fond of getting photographed and he asked me to click this one. I'm glad I did, because it turned out really nice.

The lighting in the back and the overall feel of the photography is something I enjoy.

The beautiful orange lighting in the background is the Cafe Coffee Day next door. I really made no extra efforts for lighting - it just came out very nice - its totally natural.

I was trying out the various functions on my phone, and this one is from the sepia mode on the phone. This is one of my favourite photos.
