ME AT THE AUTO EXPO...
On the last day of my stay at home I decided to visit the 8th Auto Expo
at Pragati Maidan. I have always been an avid car and bike enthusiast,
so me not visiting the Auto Expo would have left me feeling a little
regretful. So I decided to visit during business hours of the expo
which are during the earlier part of the day (ie 10 am - 2 pm), and
have a comparatively less number of fools trying to get a sneak peek at
the models rather than the cars (none the less there were more than I
thought). The Ford and Honda exhibits were nice, especially the new
Mustang GT. The photograph of the GT didnt come out as well as I would
have wanted but this was because it was constantly revolving, and I
couldn't get a good angle. Then there were many boring exhibits too and
there were also a lot of nonsense theatrics in the form of dances etc.
Then came the other awesome part of the Auto Expo, the Mitsubishi
Lancer EVOlution. The front of it seemed to smile at me as if I was
naive to control it, I didn't take control of it but caught its smile
on camera :). The bikes were pretty nice too and numerous, tooks lots
of pics of them too. The vintage cars always add a subtlety to any car
show, and they did so agian. The pics of the expo are shared below, enjoy...

The Farm..
I visited my nana's house this time when I came back for vacations from college. Its a farm located about 30 odd kms from aligarh. The weather in North India is anyways very low, it wasn't much different there. Although I was there for just one weekend (and that too froze most of the fluid in my body) it was great fun. The serenity of the place coupled with delicious food made my weekend, and in a way my winter break a vacation and not just a "Going home trip".
The house is surrounded with proper farming land which grows different vegetables and fruits depending on the season, I took a few photographs of the place so I am sharing them here. (Some of the photographs are clicked by my bro, but i'll take the credit for them anyways :) )
