The P@PMafia met at Barista, walked up Kanchan galli...the climb up was in the dark. My rickety left knee was causing me to miss my footing...some kind Samaritan had a cell with a powerful torch light. That helped. Walk On.

The climb up is an awesome experience...the top was heavenly...though the densely forested trees were devoid of leaves, yet a stunner. Walk On...

The way it is....

P@P Shoot Hanuman Tekdi.

Yes the title gets here sometimes...they don't teach you this in school...don't ask me why....Walk On ...

For me tis was deja vu times...a walk down memory lane...Happy Birthday to me ...was like "Been there, done that a long time ago". Walk On...She's just a Model and she looks so good...shot her with my Chopper riding shades...was her idea...Walk On

```Hey Child, Stay Wild```

DR (Megs) was a good guide, she climbs this hill at every opportunity...tis a joy.... Lets Walk...

The Sunrise was nice to feel and shoot...so many early morning walkers...I should have walked here oftener as I did in the swinging Sixties...was like a walk the talk...walk the memory lane for me....Walk On...
Sunrise

The top was an amazing sight......the city of Pune looked calm and enchantingly beautiful in the morning civil twilight...tis was rocking like I was Knocking on Heavens Doors. Walk On.

Morning Civil Twilight

Where is the guy Dan? Ok...fine...you there...kid thanks...you don't know what this means to me...Just be happy...Walk On...

Clikety click click...the flat lands...an amazing quarry, walk around...

Crazy Me spots a bird at a distance...every one shouts "Where where where??" Eye of the Tigress.....zoooom...awesome KF...Revs + 2KF for you ...Walk On

I asked DR to show me the way to my my old school Loyala's...she did...I was there year 1962, Std VI....used to walk up the same tekdi and down to school whenever I missed the bus...hated school though...Learned nothing there..in most of my schools, 9 in all, girls came 1/2/3 ...I was at the bottom of the ladder with plenty of red lines in my report card...now look where dem girls are and look where I am...Walk On....

Tis was just as good...nothing like learning from the school of hard knocks I dare say...Walk On

She showed me some flowers...saw her shooting some grass with her home made macro lens...Thomas Edison will be happy DR...you rock...

Grassy

I shot some macros...is this something new? The Biker shooting flowers? Is it the magic of nature? Saw the sun rising through the trees...shot that dumb flower.....not the Sheriff...neither his Deputy. Bob Marely...why did u shoot the Sheriff? Walk On....

My Macro...

Macro

Macro Man disappeared...where? Dunno...Walk On...a guy came from the Call Center...he too left.......Walk On.

CM shot a group photograph...

The Set Up

She told me "We met after a year." I said "Did we? So long ago?" ...never missed you..never missed a single pic of you...the Magic of Flicker...you were there everyday....Walk Down...

Many moons ago...I remember this Tekdi....Puppy Love...was like I just died in your arms tonite...but that is another story...

Sea life is my call now...love the sea..will be gone...

Offshore Supply Vessel
