This is Meeta rappelling at Nilshi near Lonavala. The photo is a bit damaged due to a defective scanner, but hopefully better scans are coming soon…

Photo shows Nandini and Arsh Jr (i.e. Arsh Maheshwari) on a camel. Ithink the photo has come out great; especially the expressions on the children’s faces.

It’s Raksha Bandhan today, and typically newspapers try to get a feel-good factor going by putting a nice picture of a sister tying a Rakhee to her brother on the front page. It appears that the newspapers these days are getting lazy and are not really using their own photographers / models for this. Instead they are going to http://images.google.com and downloading pictures from there.

That is what was done by Gavakari, the leading local newspaper of Nashik (my hometown). By a further twist of fate, it turns out that if you search for rakhee in google images, the first usable photo is of me! Hence, this morning, my photo appears on the front page of this newspaper and my friends/relatives are calling me with the news.
