I suspect my mother released my prisoner-pets :) Priyank, loved this post - grt to be reading you after all this time. Where r u now?

Amazing colors. I wish my mobile had this kind of vivid *power*. But this photo is little post-processed or may be I don't know anything about good cameras :) And I am proud of my mobile who nearly matched this photo. @Chatur.... chatur??? don't laugh now, but my childhood buddies and I used to call it "Ghoda" and I don't know why. But in my area at least, it was called Ghoda. Chatur is sounds boring bookish :P and Ghoda sounds stupid :D , better call it Helicopter :D :D What a photo man!!! Amazing colors.
