For want of a better subject
Spent some time this weekend thinking of a good photo idea for entering in a photography contest on road safety. One shot I thought would be interesting was that of a bullock cart with a speed limit road sign near it. So, off I went, searching for a bullock cart on Mangalore roads. An hour and many bumpy village roads later, I came back disappointed. Mangalore had indeed grown as a city. No bullock carts anywhere. As I hit the highway, I got into a traffic jam. I looked out of the window, and my eyes fell on this elephant - this elephant on a 2 lane highway with all vehicles behind it moving at, well, elephant’s pace. Hmm.. No bullock cart? No problem. Lets use the elephant, I thought to myself. So, i tracked it for some distance, trying to get a good pic with an appropriate traffic sign. Wasn’t very successful though. I ended up with some shots not fit for entering in the contest and didn’t know what else to do with those. Here are a couple. Maintaining a blog comes in handy sometimes. 
Stumble it!

That was really nice picture. You are right, maintaining a blog is good to display these. Initially I used to blog all funny and interesting incidents in my life, now I have moved to Technology blogging.
