Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

~ Mark Twain Mr. Twain wrote it long back and today, we could not agree more. We are regular corporate folks who slog 5-6 days a week but try to take a break once in a while and go out to seek new places and gain new experiences. This weblog is a look at the world, the places we have been to, the people we have met and the experiences we had, through our eyes... behind the lens ... hope you will enjoy the 'journey' ...

hey man

I had a look at your blog this morning..Its good. I mean it gives you that very positive feel whether you write of some lil troubles. light humor is an imp element as it keeps up that momentum.

Of all things I love nature the most. I had been on few treks in himalayas. So loved that chill on my neck when i read your escapades

Guess u r hiding some more pics in ur jhola.

Best

Thank you Bhanu. 

Guys, Based on some feedbacks, have made changes to the blog to make it more organized. Hope Shadows Galore is a better experience now. 

Thanks again :)

Like has been said before me, it is a wonderful log of your travels! :) Your photographs make it quite stunning to read too! Nice design as well, the only thing I'd like to suggest is that u make it a two column template. widen the post area and a single sidebar to the right. Your posts are long, so the widgets all in one side won't overshoot the post area anyways! and the reader's eye can stick to the post more than the sidebars, which I think is the aim right? Other than that, quite readble, organized.. Good place to hop to for a travelogue! :)

Hi Vinay, 

You said what was going on in my mind. Immediately responding, I have changed the template to 2 columns and made it easier to read. 

Thanks for pitching in to help :)

Taking another step, have migrated from blogger hosted blog to a self hosted weblog. A tedious process with some mishaps like the blogroll getting deleted. But now everything seems to be looking fine except some minor bugs and the look and feel.

As all said, the pictures are neat.

I can suggest that you change the style of the Blog Title, doesn't do your blog justice.

@Tamil: Thanks :) .. WellI use a very basic camera D3000. Its the most economical DSLR that I could afford to buy :) 

But as my teacher says, camera is like a pen - the price doesnt not reflect the quality of the output :)

@NIkhil : 

Thanks Nikhil. That was an interesting observation that you made. Can you suggest what kind of style I should use for the Title logo ?

Hey Purnendu,

Loved your blog. I m also interested in photography, this blog of yours has enhanced my passion for the photography.

Thanks for sharing your Photos.

I Suggest for putting the name of your blog 'shadowsgalore.com' on each and every photos which you click.

A belated thanks to inspiration Daily :). 

Actually I put the Shadows Galore mark only on the photos taken by me or Ekta, the owners of the blog. The photos by Guest Authors remain their property.
