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
Here comes one of my personal favorite photos of one of the grandest structures on the planet. Irrespective of the fact that we have grown up seeing it in popular culture whole of our lives, when you see it for the first time, it somehow manages to leave you in absolute awe. It’s humongous, it’s grand. Although, as people say, it’s just a huge piece of … Continue reading Monochrome Image of the Week
Apart from places or historic structures which were on ‘To Click’ list, there are some iconic things which were on this list for a long time. Although there are very few checks on this part of the list, I would like to share whatever I have been able to cover so far. So, few more things and structures that define the cities where they belong! One … Continue reading The ‘To Click’ List : Part 2
I can not think of the exact moment in the past when I realized I like travelling or clicking photos but it must have been long back when as a kid I used to insist dad to let me take pictures with that red and black Premier PC-500 roll camera we had. In many ways, I have come very far from where I had started. But then I … Continue reading The ‘To Click’ List : Part 1
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
The picture here is of a badge on my backpack. What it says has two interpretations. 1. I still haven’t found what is it that I’m looking for 2. I know what I am looking for but I haven’t found it yet. I am more #1 and less #2. There is this interesting (!) Chinese curse I had read somewhere. It is in two parts. … Continue reading A Tormenting ‘WHY’
When I was a kid, I used to ask my drawing teacher why did he make us fill blue color in water and sky when drawing a landscape picture. I asked too many questions. I would question almost everything. I would question practicality of lyrics of a romantic song when I was 5. I have spent most of my life in India. Until my late youth, … Continue reading Blue
Bratislava, Slovakia, 2014. We had just started walking around in the old town area. The old town area is the main tourist district and is beautifully maintained, attractively decorated and sensibly restored. Tourists are welcome here and most of tourists never see the city beyond the boundaries of this district and thus, don’t really get to meet (or face in certain cases) the local residents. I … Continue reading Small World : A Funny Oxymoron!
It starts with a short stroll in the garden, around a lake, along the river, in to the woods or on a mountain. This is when you realize you like movement. It makes you feel still. You start liking it but you don’t know exactly what. You start going longer, climbing higher, diving deeper. You start pushing your own limits. It slowly turns into an … Continue reading The Wanderers’ Club
