Meg
(sirf naam hi kaafi hai!)
- Meg at her
Bro’s engagement, looking as ravishing as ever
- Meg, captured in a
pondering mood (probably she was thinking about me ;-) I clicked this
without her knowledge. It really turned out to be good!
- Meg, all set to
walk into my life, with her infectious smile, et al!
- With Meg, amidst the
Huckleberry forest, a part of the 17-mile drive in Monterey
- With Meg, at one of
the umpteen beaches in Monterey, during our marathon 40-hour week J
- What’s the big joke,
eh? Laughing out aloud with Meg, in the backdrop of the splendid Monterey
Bay
- With Meg, at another
one of those pristine beaches, along the 17-mile drive in Monterey
- My personal favorite,
with Meg, at a rocky beach in Monterey
- With Meg, again in
the Huckleberry forest, anybody reminded of Tom Sawyer?
- So much for chivalry,
huh! A gentleman’s hand is meant to be given out to a damsel in distress,
isn’t it? J
- During the last leg
of the Monterey marathon I ran with Meg, before taking THE decision of our
lives

San
Diego Trip (May 2001)
- The high point of
the trip was snorkeling – being amongst those aquatic creatures under the
sea was an unforgettable experience (Also seen in the photo is my buddy
from BITS – Abhijit Dixit, nickname-Dixi)
- And HE made it all
possible – with Dixi and our snorkeling instructor
- And the winner of the
high jump competition is .. SHAAAAAAAMU .. the biggest celebrity in Sea
World .. Shamu, the killer whale, at his best!
- Dolly, the
dolphin, does that too, just to prove that ladies are not far behind, when
it comes to high jumping!
- I can say I
shot this photo under water, thanx to the excellent underwater chambers at
the sea-world, which make you experience all that you wud’ve seen only on
the likes of Discovery and National Geographic
- Is it a bird …
no! Is it a plane .. no! Its just a dare-devil at Sea World, riding his
pet .. Shamu, the killer whale
- Bye Bye USA!
Well .. almost! At the last U-turn to USA on I-5 which continues from there
into Mexico
- Now that’s not a
very interesting photo .. but then who wud believe I wuz at the Sea World,
if there’s no photo of mine there?
- That’s the
arena of the Sea World Circus (Cirque de la mer) Most arenas at the Sea
World are that massive, and spectacular too!
- With Dixi at the La
Jolla boardwalk, relaxing after the grueling snorkeling session
- I also did
that! Yeah! My long-standing wish of roller blading made me buy that
stuff. Although here, I’m just posing (why lie?) but someday .. I’ll be an
expert :-)
- Wish I had a neck
like theirs .. and probably girls wud wish they had legs as slender as
theirs .. not to forget their lovely color. Flamingoz at Sea World!
