Where the three meet...

Illusions have fascinated me all the years...

in the form of magicians,
in the form of art,
in the form of nature...

Sometimes I see it and capture pictures intentionally...
Sometimes I observe them only after taking pictures...

Sometimes I see images in objects lying on the ground...just that I can't take those pictures...while I would not venture out specifically to capture these, there are some of my collections. I might post them later.

Trying out a Tripod...

My intention in this self-portrait, was to make it look like a snipers rifle...so had to wear this costume.
Am glad some people did think that it was a rifle. For those in photography, would recognise this instantly.

It's my tripod (to mount the camera). Its just that I have carried on the childs habit of shaping up things to its desire. When I bought this old tripod last month, I wanted to make it look like one. But since I travelled I could not. So I captured this 45 days after I fancied of coming up with this.

If you ask me what's special about this - I would say that am holding the tripod almost exactly parallel, even though its my left hand.

Don't let me know, if you were laughing at this. But my crush on the Snipers rifle would exist forever.

Walk by my side...

Who will mind to have a look at their shadow, when he/she is right behind them!


I was sitting at the gallery far away. But as I watched them walking across from the left...I came down and took my position quickly to capture them together. Frame says it all and I love pictures with such frames, that speak even without seeing the faces.

I have all the while kept that thought away. Now am at a stage where its just practically impossible to neglect the fact that am into the time zone where, I have to wear a ring/ tie a knot/ say Khubool...but I also have the liberty to live my life, with just my shadow.


It's really a pain to see my friends families struggling to find a match for their son/ daughter. And here I am least bothered about it, but wondering what lies ahead of me. It's hard to say how lucky I would be, but I definitely know that she would be the luckiest.

Can't help thinking like - Will I let my partner know my blogs existence...what sort of interest she would have...will she like photography...and so many...

And am so keen to see to the movie 'Kites' looking at the trailer. Was impressed with the captions that is shown in the trailer:
In love -
there are no boundaries...
there are no rules...
there are no strings attached...
there are no languages...

...did not realise that I had touched 201 posts! Wonder how many got bored...and never came back to visit!

Was really glad when two of the well wishing friends from here bothered to check how I was, during my long absence. Am getting better...and back in Canada. But my usage of keys in laptop would be lesser than usual.
