The Super moon is seen over Mount Abu

Did capture the much talked of’ Super Moon’ with my not-too-super Sony Digital camera last night as it made its appearance over the hill facing my house. I really wonder what effect did the moon have on the Earth as a whole. Did it unleash a pack of Lunatics after all human upper attic is a mushy grey matter that if struck with the right amount of Luna could render one a raving lunatic?

I saw quite a few crazy Abuites that day but I assure you it wasn’t the effect of the Super Moon but of our local weed Bhang and the hooch that was guzzled down yesterday. We celebrate Holi the colourful festival in a big way here in Rajasthan, with glasses of either ‘Thandai’ (a concoction of chilled milk, bhang and dried fruits) or booze. I should have taken a few short videos of these flying souls that would have been some sight to see anyway, bear with me and have a look at the Super Moon through my camera.

Looks like the gateway to Paradise!

Is anyone for Cheese?

Aim for the moon, you just can’t miss

Last month I did take snaps of the full moon as I had my camera on hand; these snaps I had taken were from the house I recently vacated, dad’s house.

Super Full Moon Mount Abu

When the light is right, dancing in Abu by moon light, makes one Light

Coming home on the 19^th of this month, I witnessed groups of tourists making merry on the streets of Abu. I wondered what the occasion was all about; on approaching the group they told me it was poonam and a day for celebration. Now poonam means the full moon, so I smiled and went on my way, and while driving home I recalled quite a few folklores associated with the rising Full moon.The Twilight Saga: New Moon (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Poonam in this land of umpteen gods is a big occasion, each Full moon has some auspicious occasion associated with it .Even in the western world it is normally associated with the Werewolf and Vampires, to us simple folks it a lovely bright night, a night for mooching and necking and gazing at the wonder of nature. I recall vividly the wise word of my mentor while in school when he would give us a lecture. “Boys do you know what a lunatic means”? He would continue to proceed and explain to us that it was Luna in the upper attic. The upper attic was apparently the human brain and Luna, light in the upper attic. This is what drove humans to becoming lunatics.( Luna in one’s upper attic)

I guess the effect of Luna from the moon does have an effect on my upper attic as come every full moon night I’m out merrymaking or on some occasions clicking merrily away at the appearance of this lovely celestial body that presents itself in its full glory once a month . Here are a few snap shot of the moon and some others taken in this period
