Getting the church ready for Easter is no easy task – there is SO much to do as it is the most important day on the Christian Calendar. All of a sudden I was handed two vases, was told there were Gladiolas in the hallway and to do something with them for the coffee hour. Okay.
I’ve never done flowers before so this was definitely new, and given that the people who usually do the floral stuff at church said it was good, I’m gonna call this one fulfilling too!
The tables still need table and all that but the flowers look pretty good eh?
In August 2008, I discovered for the first time the island of Corsica where I stayed near Porto-Vecchio for memorable SCUBA dives and snorkeling. I did 11 dives with my underwater photo equipment of that time based on 6MP Nikon Coolpix digicam. I came to SCUBA diving through my hobby for horology and, in particular, the dive watches, explaining why there are some close-up shots of my watches of the moments.
I embarked from the mainland in Marseille, France, on the evening of August 18, 2008 and arrived early in the morning in Porto-Vecchio and returned the week after by the ferry in Propriano on August 27, 2008. I incidentally found (seeking for a camping place) a nice lodging in my price range near San Ciprianu where the dive center was next to a paradisiac beach of the bay. I did also one extraordinary dive in Bonifacio, in the Lavezzi Islands, where I met the biggest tame groupers I have never seen before.

My simple underwater housing was complemented by a Sea&Sea YS-27 DS submarine flashlight and a wide-angle Sea&Sea lens. The flash light was synchronized to the digicam build-in flash using an optical fiber cable. I still have the camera, the housing, and accessories in my collection in working condition, as well as an untouched exemplary of the Nikon Coolpix L11 that I bought as a backup in case of an accidental water leak of the housing.
All the views are the camera-rendered JPEG (the Nikon L11 could only provide JPEG). I re-edited them in the latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.1.1). As usual, all views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg.

'Nikal Padho' (get going), were two great words which inspired me to leave home and do something uniqe at the age of 16: a solo trip from Kashmir to Kanyakumari on a bicycle. As soon as I finally decided to leave, the one thing that came to mind was money!
As a student who had zero income and pocket money, it was a big challenge to arrange things for the trip. I finally decided to sell my cell phone and use the money to arrange stuff for my tour (travel bag, tickets and bicycle ). I still remember, I had asked mom for just 1500 rupees, saying that I was going to Agra with some friends.
As it was my first step in life towards the world, I named it "KADAM INCH TO MILES". I decided to track my journey not in miles but inches. I have never been alone in my life, but instead of being scared, I was so excited that the word "fear" didn't even enter my mind
