I grab a pen
I drop a cap
I opened a book
and closed it shut.
I kick the sand
and raise some dust.
I run a circle
I do a jiggle
I go up in smoke
I stumbled
I crumbled
I laughed
I cried
someone,
someone …
just told me –
that you are coming :)

Right or Wrong !!!
Flowers in general are always cool to shoot with – they are colorful, attractive and if you are lucky, they would be just stand still, for as long as you want, with a little bit of support from wind :). So when I came across the vibrant lily at Meenmutty Falls Resort , was delighted. This was shot during broad afternoon day light and was surprised the way it turned out. I had always thought that these kind of shots were made within a studio set up. All I did here, was used circular polarizer to make the water, non reflective and dark. Playing a bit with curves and levels, helped lose some of the other unwanted details. What do you think of the result ?
Below is a (so called) Haiku that I wanted to share alongside this shot !
Sometimes when
Every thing looks right & Every thing looks wrong … simultaneously
Look again
There is nothing wrong about the right &
There is nothing right about the wrong !!!
If you are still reading , then I welcome you to my kirukalgal (scribbling) collections !!!

Jacaranda – The Purple Carpet of Bangalore
Jacaranda (blooming period Feb-Mar): Delicately beautiful, this tree carpets the roads and yards all over town, with fragile purple flowers. It is one of the most ethereal sights to see every feb/march or so. Of all the places in Bangalore, Cubbon Park, as usual has a prize collection of the colorful carpet flowers, apart from houses all around town.
Was quiet lucky when the sun-set treated me one nice evening, from the luxury of my balcony, with the below scene. HDR really came in handy in capturing the twilight along with the beautiful violet jacaranda in the foreground. It is probably worth to check out the full size (clicking the below image and selecting ‘X3’ in the sizes).

OutStanding – Wishing a very Happy 2011 Ahead
2010 had been a great year. Just that it flew fast, real fast ! Wishing a very happy and a prosperous 2011 to all my readers. And to me – hoping that I would keep pace with 2011 as much as I am wanting to. Though I had been blogging on and off for quiet some time now, I had not shared as much as I wanted to (oh no, not the rare ramblings, but atleast some inspiring photographs ! ).
This 2011 am planning to share atleast one photo every week this year [and yeah u can keep a tab on me :) ]
This week shot is from the numerous sunflower fields en’route Hampi to Bangalore. Hampi by itself is so majestic, that these travel experience are noting but an additional bonus!
It is not who you are that makes you stand out. It is what you do, with what happens to you , that makes the difference !!!

The World as I see
| I am a kind word uttered and repeated By the voice of Nature; I am a star fallen from the Blue tent upon the green carpet. I am the daughter of the elements With whom Winter conceived; To whom Spring gave birth; I was Reared in the lap of Summer and I Slept in the bed of Autumn. |
|
At dawn I unite with the breeze |
| The plains are decorated with My beautiful colors, and the air Is scented with my fragrance. |
|
As I embrace Slumber the eyes of
|
| I drink dew for wine, and hearken to The voices of the birds, and dance To the rhythmic swaying of the grass. |
|
I am the lover’s gift; I am the wedding wreath; |
| But I look up high to see only the light, And never look down to see my shadow. This is wisdom which man must learn. |
- Poem by Khalil Gibran
I liked the poem, thought I really do not concur with the poet on the last para
