Bullock Cart Race at Kilaraipur, originally uploaded by Captain Suresh.

Friends, I have been quite busy in recent past and could not be very active on Flickr. I have not been uploading my photos, neither I have been commenting on your photos much. Though, I do view your photos whenever I get time. You all are requested to stay in touch, I am cooking up something, which you all would love.

This image of bullock cart race, was done at the famous village called KILA RAIPUR, about 20 kms from Ludhiana. This village in Punjab is well know for the rural games, which are hosted by the Grewal Sports Association of the village. Now, these games are popularly known as Rural Olympics. Its become hot favourite event of travel photographers. But I will not hesitate to say that the local press photographers, make a mess of photo opportunities there, very often.

I love to be at the event, as it offers variety of strange events as well, which are hard to photograph otherwise. The most popular event is the bullock cart race and its the main event of the four days sports.

Chirag, our son has been fascinated with guns, swords and horses, since his childhood. His liking for horses and the famous song of Lakshay film `Kandho se Milte Hain Kandhe, Kadmon se kadam milte hain', has been even when he used to be a lap baby. Today, since morning, Chirag has been coaxing me for a photo shoot of him, dressed in his most favorite army fatigue and his gun. Finally, by the evening he was restless and he got me into it, somehow.

Recently, I had baptised our kids by taking them to participate in one of the protests to support ANTI CORRUPTION MOVEMENT, which swept whole of India. Chirag has been very patriotic eversince, he has been listening to patriotic songs at home alongwith his sister and mother. These days, he moves around like a soldier. I am glad that both our kids participated and witnessed something unique and rare. I am glad that they were lucky to participate in the national event for the common cause.
