Eclipse

2010-01-20T11:17:00.001+05:30

January 15 2010 was a great day for me. The day I watched Solar eclipse for the first time.
On that day, morning when i reached my office I saw a thick glass with one of my team mate. When I asked him what it is, he told it is glass used in welding shield and can be used to watch solar eclipse. I was every excited hearing this. I watched the solar eclipse and took my camera and clicked few of the snaps. I used the welding shield as filter for my camera lens. It was difficult to click since i don't have a tripod.
Click here for the Wikipedia entry for Solar eclipse of January 15, 2010.

P.S.: Later on the same day when talked to my dad over phone I told him about this . Evening I got call from my mom enquiring me about the same. She was worried hearing about this. Mom never change, she want to take care of her children even if they are geographically far from home.
