The Unknown Reach...

Do you know how far you can reach...

There are a lot of things that could be happening beyond our reach, which we might never know, like...

We could have -

...crossed some boundaries,
...broken some limits,
...made a difference for some,
...hurt some,
...made some think,
...amused some,
...turned something normal to magic for some,
...brought out few smiles on some,
...changed some forever,

As long as it is not known to us - it would be governed by:
...The law of the Unknown!

Diamonds Unpacked ) *** (

Nature's gift...come mostly unpacked :)

I bought a gift for a friend when I visited India, even though there was a very little chance of meeting. It was a beautiful work, comparable to this.

I really couldn't ignore a friend who thought I was full of something...

For those who are curious, its a shot that I took without viewing...two reasons - its tough to keep the neck unless I have a Giraffe's & the other one due to excess dew on grass. People who know technical aspects will know how tough it is to get this...

The Mask...

Is there a mask before all our faces...!

I hold the mask given to me, a feet away. It does not let us, to be us. I just try to be myself, always.



But it's true and my experience proves that people hardly like such characters. What's the point in faking! People always tend to forget that beneath the mask lies the treasure. Of course all treasures are found in containers with rust formed over the centuries. Well, only when people talk to me they like me, I explore myself more and that is one reason I like communicating. There have been many people who missed a chance of being part of my world, simply because they din't talk to me more. Fortunately, the more I explore myself - seems that a better side can be unearthed.

I know that I would end up having only a few around my coffin on the D-day. But I would be in my eternal sleep knowing that I have been true to my heart & those around me would know it as well.

Though the title is from the movie, this picture has nothing to do with it. It is a random self-shot that I tried out in my Canada apartment. Was tough setting it up as there wasn't any room for placing my camera. As always, its fun doing it.

NOTE: Never ever look into bright light resources, not good for eyes. I was using a low power light and din't look into it.

The Italian Connection...

I am very fond of mirrors and whenever I pass one, I admire them. Not because they show how we change physically...for me the inner transformation is also equally important. Can see only my remains in the mirror now - changed for the good...how much? a lllottt...

Light on the left is natural from the setting sun and the one from the right is the tube light above. I knew the image has to be something different to remember it for a while. So were looking for multiple reflections out of it. One among the toughest, I had attempted as a starter!


This mirror is an Italian make. It showed me how I had changed over few years. Here I have seen bigger, better mirrors with intricate design. But I miss the one that shared the room with me within the four walls, especially for couple of years. It was a time that I had opted for a career switch and I would definitely not say that those were the toughest times. The period was crucial, for it did prove to me the theory of relativity - slowed up every possible moment for me. But I deeply admire people who achieve things, when situations are worser than this. Personally I know some too. Ironically can't help but smile when looking at people who take things for granted with so much luxuries at their disposal.

Photography, writing and blogging were the one's that kept me going during that period. Was more like a meditation to me as I had no other options. I have seen and had enough, now I am left with nothing but lots of affection and care to show to someone special...[don't know yet]

On a lighter note: I liked the movie Rab Ne Banade Jodi...was a good movie to me. I was able to relate to it because I can't forget the way I used to go around a decade back, like the Shah Rukh with shirts tucked in with spectacles - utter formals. No one would recognize me if I go now [some of my school friends ask me who I am]. That's what time does...transforms people like me, forever!

Your mirror would have a story for you as well...hear it.

Road 2 Nowhere...!

There are some journeys that can only be thought of...some that would remain in our dreams forever...
...n I am too practical to neglect this simple reality...

One of my favorite zones...opp my apartment.

As mskiruba asked: am not an expert in using the SW's to edit. It's a mixture of my instincts, idle time and the freedom to explore...though I want to learn & do it appropriately. But I think, the frame should be composed accordingly, if one decides to edit - as it adds to the appeal.

No one's P(a) lace [^]

Everyone is gifted...but unfortunately many of them don't even open the package...

True most of the times, isn't it! God only knows how many I did'nt!


This is a Buddha temple in Theosophical society. The bright spots you see is the sunlight, falling on...and after seeing the actual ouput, felt it was missing something and looked too ordinary. So after editing, got the way I wanted it to look. Many of the things I visualize/ what I desire to see in my world appear like this to me. If there is a time travel machine, which will take us to such an ideal place, I would be the first to enroll for it!

Though it looks like a place where no one exist...

...being in such ambience is like being in a palace to me!

Valley of Needles!!!

These don't cause much pain...compared to the one, caused by expectations!

...I always fend against them.

I don't prefer to edit my pictures but there are a few which I have edited. Couple of them are special to me as they were taken and edited in the first week of buying my, Olympus E500. Nothing much different from the reality...except that green stands out well.

Taken in Theosophical society in Besant Nagar, Chennai - where I used to hang out in my earlier days of photography [5 mins from my place]. It's a cool place with nice ambience...watch out for the snakes, crawling around. And it's open for public only on some days of the week.

The Pursuit of Happyness...

Pursuit is what the driving force is...no wonder he is after one too!

...while I don't know what lies ahead of me, there is no thought of stopping the pursuit...for it always makes the journey exciting and adventurous.

...am glad that the hours that were spent deciphering the diversified accents in the call center few years back, could'nt kill my attitude for the pursuit...finally got to see "The pursuit of happyness" a very nice movie - reminds a lot about mine [mayb for u too]. All our actions, narrows down to achieving happiness...isn't it?

...and I am still on my pursuit!
