They did not stand a chance! I would not dare to go against these fearless and fearsome birds. I wonder, what possibly could have been on those little pigeons’ minds? A pint of Guinness may be! May be these two little lads got their hands (or beaks) on a pint of Guinness left unattended. And after having some, one might have said, “Too much of running … Continue reading Head On
“He plays. But then don’t we all? Someday, somewhere, something, someone!” This week’s monochrome image and also entry to MM challenge at Leanne Cole Photography. I believe busking is a difficult job. Apart from exceptional talent, it also takes a lot of patience and tolerance. Imagine how good a movie or some show would need to be in order to take chance of letting people … Continue reading Busk [Monochrome Image of Week 08062015]
I met a guy at Listowel Writers’ Week who had traveled across India for over a year. He had been to Goa, Varanasi, Bodh gaya, Puskar etc (of course :D). And only Hindi words he learnt were “Shanti” (English translation : Peace) and “Sab kuchh milega!” (Rough English translation : You will get everything here). I can only imagine why he might have liked India so … Continue reading Jai Ho!
I was in Listowel, Republic of Ireland last weekend to attend a book launch as part of Listowel Writers’ week 2015. I had contributed one picture in an amazingly informative picture book named “COUNTY KERRY 101 INTERESTING FACTS” (ISBN 978-0-9932712-0-5). This happens to be my first picture used in a published book. Not that this is the biggest thing one can achieve nor it was … Continue reading Milestones and A Long Way To Go
Some images are strong. Without any direct reference, they can express strong emotions. And sometimes, surprisingly, simplest of the images and that too in monochrome, turn out to be the most expressive. This photo here is one of my personal favorites. I find this image very sad. Did the boat reach that far from the shore on its own? Did someone take it there? What is it doing … Continue reading Lone [Monochrome Image of Week 01062015]
I tell truths, loud and clear, often inconvenient, so easily that they stare at me. As if I did something inhuman or as if they are asking me if I was kidding. I stare back – “What?!” Radical honesty is really easy to practice once it becomes habit. And it is not that difficult for people around you too, once they start knowing you well. The … Continue reading Conversations : #1 Radical Honesty
A random street in Istanbul. Thanks to stupid plots of Hollywood movies set in this city with Sultan Ahmed Mosque in backdrop, Istanbul has this image of a city of mysteries (and Assassin’s Creed Revelations too :P). But when you walk down the streets, you know that it is a normal city like any other city. It has friendly people and good food to offer with … Continue reading MM2-4: Monochrome Entry For This Week [Istanbul]
Looking at this picture reminds me the connection of Irish to green color! And the way Irish countryside is so green, this color appropriately represents country and people. I used to joke, isn’t word ‘green’ redundant in “Irish Green Card”? Doesn’t “Irish card” make it green anyways? Few years ago, to be honest, I did not even know there was such thing called St. Patrick’s day, … Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day Wishes
Vienna, Austria (July 2014). Walking through the city near Vienna State Opera building I saw this giant pink bunny. I took few pictures and walked on (I am allergic to pink color 😛 ). I really did not bother then what that bunny was all about and why it was there. After coming back home, just out of curiosity, I researched a little and found out … Continue reading Vienna and the (Pink) Young Hare
But then what is the point in creating all the fuss around finding purpose of life? ‘No Fuss’ is just another way of leading life. No fuss over proving anything. No fuss over pushing too hard make others happy! No fuss over attempts to achieve acceptance and trying to be understood! I am not judging if it is right way or a wrong way of leading … Continue reading Amsterdam : The ‘No Fuss’ Way
