Toronto Distillery District: Photo Tag

I was tagged by Odzer and Vamsee for a photo blog-post. Now this is a good excuse to post something on my otherwise dormant blog.

Rules of this tag are:

  1. Pick the 6th picture in the 6th picture folder
  2. Write the story behind it
  3. Pass it on to 6 other people

: Step 1 : : The Photo

Distillery District picture

So the picture posted above is the 6th picture in the 6th picture gallery of my blog.

: Step 2 : : The Story
Very simple. About 2 years ago, I visited the Toronto Distillery District near downtown Toronto. This is a heritage area which was once the largest distillary in the British empire. Today, the buildings constitute the largest and best preserved collection of Victorian Industrial Architecture in North America. Toronto Distillery District has become one of the most romantic and enjoyable destinations in the city. It is the city’s first pedestrian only village and the city’s only historic district. The area has become associated with creative thinking and expression and it’s rebirth has been dedicated to promoting arts, culture and entertainment.

Some more pictures:

Historical Wheel



You can always view the entire photo gallery!

: Step 3 : : The part where you infect others
I am not sure if you guys do tags, but my six victims are:
Amit | Anil | Anna | Linguist-in-waiting | Trisha | Mridula
Have fun! (I did!)

schöne Tag

Mahendra, who has been very unquiet since the day he was born on the net, tagged me today.

I have to write eight random facts about me:

eins. I am a morning guy and I cannot sleep for more than 5 hours.

zwei. I hate curves. I prefer straight lines and sharp edges most of the times (except obvious exceptions).

drei. I believe that rules are meant to be followed.

vier. In next 10 years, I intend to travel to 10 different countries (Note: EU is not considered as one country).

fünf. I love technology but I don’t like my cellphone to do things other than making phone calls.

sechs. I don’t find flowers, dogs and little kids “cute”.

sieben. I have a compass built into my brain so directions and maps are my favorites.

acht. Finally, I am an overzealous planner. I macroplan, then microplan, then try to sell it to others.

Done! Damn… I can write fifty more! I’ve already rambled a lot here…

Here are the rules of the game:
1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
3. At the end of your post you need to tag 5 people and include their names.

Its hard to find people who have not been tagged already.
Nevertheless, I’m inviting Arbit, Cuckoo, Hans, Maverick and Raunak and to continue this fun. Thanks guys!
