A New Beginning !
30On30 is over !
Let me put it a bit differently... it has just started !!!
and the first month of this beginning was a huge boost to the cause ! here are some highlights :
- 30 on 30 website had over 2000 visitors in 30 days and more than 4000 page views
- 57% visitors were from India, 28% from the US, 3% from the UK, and rest from Japan, Canada, Singapore, Poland, Hongkong, UAE, and some others...
- There was also a poll on the 30on30 page which was taken by 52 people and 47 of them thought that this initiative has the potential to bring some change and 5 were not too sure
and now the most important statistics !!!!
I had thought that on my 30th birthday I would sell 30 photographs and raise Rs. 30000... Not much went as planned !!!
Through the 30 on 30 project, I managed to sell 69 prints of my pictures, and the project managed to raise Rs. 69000 !!!!
There would also be some more to this 69000 which comes from the dollar conversion, and some from the rounding off of the printing and shipping costs...
69000 !!!!
Ye !!!
30000 on 30000 on 9000 !!!!
Heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, promoted, or wished for the success of 30On30...
and like I said, earlier, this is just the beginning!
Thank You
30on30 was a huge success ! Something that I wished for and was secretly hoping for, but did not expect !!!
Will come back with a detailed post later on how the last one month was for 30on30...
The project is formally OVER now !
30on30 Updates
The 30on30 Project got an overwhelming response from friends all around. Here are some of the highlights so far:
1. Reached the initial goal of raising Rs. 30000
2. Decided to not stop there
3. Revised the goal to Rs. 50000 and are about 5K short of it as of today
4. Even if we reach 50K we would try to continue raising some money till 30th April and do as much as possible
Thank you everyone who has participated, appreciated, purchased, promoted, and wished for the success of the project.
And like I said, its not over yet !!! There is still more than a week to go.. please do spread the word around if you have not yet done that.

(Photo ID : 044)Title : So you are God, Eh!
This is from a trip to Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, India. The day was Ganesh Chaturthi, with Ganesh Pandals all over the small coastal town of Pondicherry. I spent a few hours at this pandal looking at the arrangements being done and people coming and enjoying a view of the 20ft high Ganesh Murti... This lady spent a few minutes in this pose as if she was questioning God....

This was taken at the Brahm Sarovar, Kurukshetra, Haryana, India. Some of the reasons why I really like this picture is the body language, the skin color and tones, the clarity of the holy thread (Janeyu) and the deep red wall that made a nice background for the image.
