		<description><![CDATA[I am  putting up this post with a disclaimer: I don't believe you can learn photography in quick short tips as listed here. These `tips'  can at best be viewed as pointers. Thats why I have titled this post -` Maggie Noodle Photography Tips'. A magazine however insisted I write few quick tips on the various aspects of photography, so here they are for what they are  worth. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my grandfather’s time, ‘good old days’ were indeed the good old days. There were no rules for love and marriage and sex was free. You met a girl at the village fair and if she was willing, you could have a roll in the hay. If you wanted something more serious you brought her home as a bride .   If you didn’t get along you simply broke off because divorce was not a stigma. Not  even for women.  My grandfather boasted of having married 13 times in this fashion and my grandmother thrice.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Banned books are fantastic for the obvious reasons. They question the status quo, challenge existing paradigms, question idiotic beliefs no matter how sacred, and provoke you to think anew. The very reasons the politicians and the clergy would not want you to touch them.  But what is good writing if it won’t give you a fresh perspective. And what is freedom of expression without the freedom to offend. Because for how long can you read Paulo Choelho  or Chetan Bhagat]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The `Official Santa’ is very much the Santa of my imagination. Long white undulating beard. Rose tinted rotund cheeks. And the all too familiar corpulent frame. He greets us a predictable Namastay when told we are from India. He takes turns greeting us all and asks the girls in our group if they have been good-girls in a manner and tone he would ask any naughty children visiting him. The girls play along with one of them insisting on getting a photograph shot  sitting on his lap.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Its interesting that almost all the religions of the world decided that the best way to appease their Gods was to butcher  hapless animals to them. Apart from reasons of piety, I suspect it had something to do with guilt. Taking another animals life for food may have looked a bit selfish. Therefore as in most things, men decided why not do it in the name of God?  You get to eat the meat and God takes all the blame for the blood and gore.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because of its intrinsically fun element, many couples are beginning to attach more importance to the couple- shoot than their actual wedding photography. The shoot is virtually their last date as unmarried couple and the photos are immensely important.   It’s always a good idea to have a couple shoot before the wedding – ideally a week or so in advance. That time the couple is looking forward to their wedding and the excitement shows in the photos.  After the wedding,  the couple is wedding weary and the shoot becomes just another  in line of wedding rituals to be done with.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I get an invitation to visit a cold place I am generally not too excited. I was born in the foothills of the Himalayas (Himachal Pradesh) therefore snow, mountains, and high altitudes  generate  feelings of home not wanderlust. But invitation to visit the Arctic was different. I had never crossed the 66 degree latitude for one and the opportunity to relive your childhood  storybook fantasies  of reindeers-rides and  huskies sledges  is too hard to resist.

		<description><![CDATA[Most African Safari junkies round off their African bush adventures by dipping their feet in  the waters of one of the white-sand beaches of the Zanzibar Archipelago. But I headed straight for Zanzibar even before I saw my first thomson’s gazelle. I had just completed  an exhausting shoot in Tanzania and there is  nothing like the Islands of the Zanzibar Archipelago to rest your body and soul. It was meant to be a quite holiday but I just could not resist picking up my camera again to photograph the quaint islands, the placid beaches, and its warm people.

		<description><![CDATA[Celebrated Indian Photographer Raghu Rai has often said that newspaper and magazine editors are visually illiterate. He should know. Rai spent much of his photography career working for newspapers and magazines. I started my career as a journalist too and never understood the importance of photography in a paper. I especially did not understand why my newspaper would spend so much money sending a  photographer with me on travel assignments.  He just has to press the button I  thought.
