Singapore - The Merlion Effect

2009-04-26T12:11:00.004+05:30

Merlion, the creature with the head of a lion and body of a fish, is the face of Singapore. I went to Merlion on my second day in Singapore. If you are going by metro train then get down at Raffles Place or catch a cab and say 'The Merlion'. It is located in the Central Business District (CBD) of Singapore. Being a major tourist spot the place is full all the time. Best time to go would obviously be late afternoon.

There is a Starbucks nearby where you can chill out. The highrises you can see behind the Merlion make the financial heart of the city; Raffles Place.

When people go to the Taj Mahal they like to get a picture as if they are holding the tip of the monument. Here people want to pose as if the water from the Merlion is going straight into their mouth. I call it the 'Merlion Effect'.

It is located near the sea which makes it a tourist's delight. It is also located on the side of the The Marina Bay Formula-1 Circuit. A must see place if you are in Singapore.

The first time I went to Singapore was in September last year. I took hundreds of images with my Canon Powershot A 580. Did not post many images after I came back. Starting today, I would post some 15-20 selected images which will capture what Singapore was like to me. In brief, its an experience and every one should see it once.

No image is complete without a context. Every photograph has a story beyond images. I would tell you about that as well!

See Singapore from my eyes!

Thanjavur was the capital city of the Chola Kings. It is a small town in the heart of Tamil Nadu situated on the banks of the Kaveri river. The city hosts the great Brahadeeshwara Temple (Lord Siva),built by Rajaraja Chola I. The temple is a wonder in stone. A must see for everyone.

2007-08-14T22:40:00.000+05:30

The cemetery has hardly any visitors. It is located in one of the busiest roads of Calcutta but its rich history would be unknown to most. I am talking about the 'South Park Street Cemetery' on Park Street right in front of Assembly of God Church School. This cemetery was opened in 1767 (yes, you read it right!). It is a place worth a visit for anyone who has grown up in Calcutta.
