The newly built house of photographer couple Ravi and Krupa Hongal, which resembles a giant DSLR camera, has not only enamoured locals but has become quite a sensation on social media.
The three-storied camera-shaped house located in Shastri Nagar is an expression of passion and love for the art of photography of the couple whose children- three boys- have all been named after the iconic camera brands.
Their names ''Canon'', ''Epson'' and ''Nikon'' feature prominently on the house whose exterior resembles a camera. Just like a camera, the building has a glass window shaped as a viewfinder and another as a lens. It sports a wide film strip, a flash and even a memory card.
The walls of the house walls and its interior have graphics related to photography.
"I have been photographing since 1986. Building this house is like a dream come true. We also named our 3 children-Canon, Nikon and Epson. These all are three camera names. I love the camera and hence named them on camera companies name. My family were opposed to it, but we remain adamant," photographer Ravi told media persons.

The photographer says the couple had to borrow money from relatives and friend for constructing the house. "We also sold our previous house to build this house," he added.
Krupa said that it was their cherished dream to build a house like a camera.
"My husband is a photographer. It was our dream to build a house like a camera. We planned and built this house. We feel like we are living inside a different world, inside a camera. I am very proud of my husband," she said.
Canon, their elder child said, "My friends used to ask me whether it was my real name. Now, I tell them yes, photography is my father's passion and hence he named me Canon."

Along with that, add Drs,vhp,rss,vhp
Every Indian knows that the most terrorist groups in India are RSS/BD/RS and other outfits of sangh parivar. Terrorists from these groups are spreading hatred between different communities and give hate speech, but no action is taken on them.
Why not the PFI, KFD, SDPI, NDF demands or protest against RSS,VHP to ban??? only this people have rights to demand for any organization Ban? Let PFI, KFD, SDPI, NDF make protest and demand for Ban. (for your FYI.. iam not related to any Organization)
Ashok, based on your own argument why cant the Govt ban both BJP & RSS for killing CPM workers in Kerala, murder in various jails and bomb explosions elsewhere in India? Common man have the same standard for the same crime.
Congratulations PFI and KFD. The RSS recommended that you are strong party who are fighting against communalism and goondaism.
They can't digest any one talking or standing against them.
Good Job .
We need just 2 strongest parties in India and rest should be banned once and for all.....no political parties doing any favor for human kind, they are all there to make money for them and their family members and relatives....that is all....if government wants to ban any kachira parties then clean up everything...no need...they are all anti religion and working against human kind...
Joke of the month..
