Was reading some article in the magazine, Shakthi Vikatan, Jan 2010 issue. It had quite some interesting stuff. There was a write up about a temple in Poonamallee. It is Varadharaja perumaal kovil.The speciality of the temple is that, the rays of the rising sun directly falls on the face of the Main deity during the month of Feb and March, last week. It was amazing to think about the architect marvel of such kind of construction. It is really an awesome piece of work. One cannot imagine the level of intelligence of those people involved in such projects. Definitely they must have possesed some kind of divine blessings/assistence to create such marvelous work.
Well on a lighter note, I think I have the same divine blessing too!!!, for the setting sun visits our pooja room daily before signing off, during the month of dec-jan:)

Welcome 2010

So another year passed away..365 days, gone. And here comes a new year. Wonder what is in store. The year opened up with an eclipse. Spectacular Blue moon darkened by shadow, just for a few minutes past midnite, and emerged flawless within an hour. Think it does convey something...hope the brighter part stays for long.I was up and awake till late night to take this snap. But the moon was too bright, and I had difficulty in picturing the event. Still did my best with the Canon sx20. On the new moon day we are having another eclipse, solar. This will be almost a total, 83% visible here in Chennai, and I doubt if I will be able to take a snap of it, for it occurs at midday. Sure will give it a go.
The year also started with a bang for me, as I received the news of my Book published and delivered. It is only a photo book, and I had added some write up describing the pictures. Still I am excited and cant wait to see it in person.
So all is well in Anu's world. Sofar so good. Happy 2010.
