"The Mission Accomplished"

Today, Jan.29, 2010, is one of the most delightful days for me. For others, it may have been just another day of daily life. But for me, it turned extra special when I managed to click the pics of an illuminated Rashtrapati Bhavan finally.

As two years ago I started clicking that by mobile camera, then again on next year I clicked some but always wished to have a camera.

But Ajita, a journalist friend, now in Australia said....Sir you should take camera at least.It just made me realised that I actually needed it and after a long research and enquiries bought this Nikon S 700.

But I kept waiting for this day, Jan.26, when the Rashtrapati Bhavan is illuminated and thousands of people converge to watch it. I waited very excitedly the whole year.

And after so many clicks throughout the year of trees, clouds and many other things I finally managed it today. I had also clicked a lot of them on Jan.26 twoo but due to night time clicks being first occasion for me, they didn't come well. All got blurred or lens had problem of dots. I was utterly disappointed from my camera's limitation to capture this one time illumination of the magnficent Rashtrapati Bhavan.

But today, on Jan.29, (the last day of illumination) once again I happened to cross this place.

Despite it being my weekly off day, I just went and clicked them again. Though the results could be better, but I am thoroughly delighted.

Not many may know this majestic builiding is the most fascinating place for me whole year, as I have tried to capture it many a times in day time. But this special day, was the most awaited. Thank you God....u inspired me to take photography as a hobby and now making it my most absorbing passion after writing to have happened in my life in last 10 years!

Hence, it wasn't just another set of pics by me. It's actually "The Mission Achieved".
