Mysterious…


 

Framed in: We are in a maze! A maze controlled by time. More we try to come out from it more we are trapped in it, trapped in the spider web of time. We enjoy good times; we curse bad times and in this fast paced world controlled by internet and other communication gadgets we race against the entire time only to find out that we will never win against time! Imagine a life without time! The pace of the life will definitely come down! How calm it will be. I am dreaming of such a life where I am not depended of time and want to break all the clocks and watches around me! Just want to break away from the mysterious ways and speeds of time! Let’s go back to those times when there were no clocks or watches, where the speed of life could have been compared to the speed of a snail, so calm and meditative… So let’s try avoiding leaning on to time at least for a day and bring back the soul in to this life!


Framed out: oops! How can I forget the day! This pic was taken at kallar, near mettupalayam. That was our Degree batch’s first outing. A perfect start, I still remember. We had a drawing workshop with Arjun sir, an artist. The last day we went on an outing to draw the sceneries. I painted using my camera. The first expedition as a photographer I would say. The amount of effort taken to expose this frame was enormous. Literally lying on a fallen tree to get the texture of the tree I borrowed a watch from Vivin (we call him “Maapi”) and captured the time using the 1960 model Zenith camera! (Thanks for Anilettan, my guru for lending me his camera!)

Dark & Curved… To Blurred Destination!


Framed in: Destiny is decided by the way we face life. For cowards, who feel safe to follow others and  travel through the roads traveled by others most often, only a monotonous, non-challenging, boring destination awaits! But for those who take the road less traveled, they find a new path and leave the trail for others to follow! They remain the leaders. The road to Destiny may be curved, dark with only a narrow ray of hope shining in distance, with a lot of obstacles in the way and perhaps long too! But those has to be overcome by the energy of optimism and dreams. Let the roads taken by you take you to enchanting landscapes!

Framed Out: This Snap cannot be forgotten. After a tiresome bike ride of more than 400 km over a day, I was on my way back to estate and was supposed to report for the job by 6.45AM. It was already 6.30 and there was half an hour ride more to estate. But how can I miss such an extravaganza. Decided to stop my “Mayavi” (my enfield) and make this frame immortal! Took out my Yashica FX3 and exposed the “Road to Destiny!”  Rightly exposed, the pic brings in a coolness and totality of the dawn!
