FMTSO - Motion

The theme this week at FMTSO - Friday My Town Shoot Out is  MOTION. 

I thought I would interpret this a little differently and I know it says "My Town" which means Wellington, but this is from my hometown Mumbai so I guess it still is my town.

So here it is ... the making of the Rumali Roti at Copper Chimney in Mumbai.  Great fun to watch.

Photo Hunt - Point and Circles

This week's Photo Hunt Themes are Point  and  Circles.

Oh no was the thought that ran through my head.

And then as I went through some photos I found 2 absolutely perfect ones taken just over a year ago when I went down memory lane and visited my school again.

I wrote a post on my school on my other blog Someday Somewhere - Do-over recently. School must be on my mind!

This week's prompt at Friday My Town Shoot Out is "Macro" (showcasing my town up close and personal).
