Vishu Kani

[KPB Menon]

Vishu is a new year day in Kerala, India. The photographs you see here are different arrangements of richness (flowers, fruits, gold, coins, God etc) - Mother of the family takes everyone in the order of the age blind folded at around 0400 AM and after seating them in front of the arrangements makes them open their eyes - so the first thing you see in the year is all this richness. Children look forward to this day as immediately after opening the eyes they get "Vishu Kaineetam" - Money which they can spend on crackers etc.

Wish you happy new year(Vishu) KPB Menon. It is nice to see the pics of prays for the start of a new year ahead. hey y is ur pics are not clear? for example in 1st pic some part of the right in this pic should be in left side actually. and in 2nd pic 75% of the bottom are in negative kind of format. are these any processing issue or the actual pictures itself look like this? If you have problem to upload here then upload ur pics to one of the online album like picasa or flickr and link them to ur DPS posts. Waiting to see more nice pics from u.
Cheers

Thanks Raveen
Today I managed to post my first pic using the guide. But even here I face one problem after the first picture when I repeat the process the URL does not come thru. So I had to be content with posting one picture today. Thanks again
