Sagara Teeram

I grew up on the East Coast of India, so I'm particularly fond of the Sun and the Sea and hence the title which means sea shore in Telugu. If everyone saw the best of photographs, and read only the best writings, where's the opportunity for the alsorans to showcase their talents( or the absence of them)?

About Me

Mediocre to the Core: Just an Also Ran. How, you may ask. Take my photography, for example. I use a commonplace 'Point and Shoot' camera, not even a DSLR model. Add to it the amount of shake my hands manage when I hold the camera to click pictures. So, that justifies the Blog title! Just consider this- if everyone viewed the blogs of the best, who would encourage the also rans?
