Just not what you think...

Sometimes not the most beautiful thing, is the one that attracts my attention...

Something:
...that stays as what it is,,
...reflects the inner world,
...lot subtler than sublime,
...that gives me a sense of belonging,
...anything that is a lot like me.


That backdrop is water...if you are curious :)

As the leaves fall...

As the leaves fall...
And the colors change...
Wind gets so cold to embrace me like a hot spring...
Everything else seems blurred...
Only a moment of emptiness...
Stare that does not belong to a place...
Only noise I hear are the brustling leaves...

My wait has been longer than her ride...
...she could ever imagine.

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...

Count 'less'...

Those who don't know me, will see and know only one name from the stones. But I know few names that are on there. Many that I am not aware of...will be a surprise as they flip in the journey.

I seriously don't remember few characters...after all these years. Probably applies to many out there.

And for sure I could be in many forgotten list too :)

Crossing the Borders...

Everytime I break my Barriers, it simply does not go anywhere...

Wherever I go, I find myself right where I don't want to be...sometimes when someone hesitates even to become a friend, really makes me wonder.

Colors were just too good to walk past without a click :) it should seem to you as if am on air like David Blaine...

Face of an Illusionist...

World is a better place to everyone who can see it differently. It's just that people are the one's who disappoint me - no matter how differently I see.

It's like sleeping in the shades of a tree along the coast on shore...
...getting up early in the morning
...stretching while watching the dawn
...almost like that for a post after a long break. Just to let know that am still out here... :)

To follow...pictures I click with my mobile. My theme would remain the same. However you would have to bear with the picture resolution for now. 2MP camera can offer only a limited...sharpness!

The Creature...

To me one of the most blank, hard hitting, utterly, subtle word that is not so commonly used is 'Creature'


We all were created as part of the universe and the way we gained superiority over the other creatures (known to us) through evolution is something beyond our control. Nature has been the sculptor all along, shaping us...

But He, only knows where we are headed - among the destructions & constructions we create.

Creatures for Creations or Destructions ?

Some of these patterns should be a designers delight...may be a fashion designer (...what do you say Bhusha) should say! I might get these on my T-shirts, if I get a chance!

Let me know if anyone needs :)

Genie's Eye...

It's not just the photographer who can create the magic, it's in the eyes of the perceiver too!

I don't know who all, just vist my page - this picture is for all the unknown & known friends.


We all wish to find an Aladdin's lamp...

What would be your wish? Well, as of now...I would ask a very high sophisticated camera, visible only to me so that no one can steal it again :)

...atleast my memory card was left behind with some of these pictures. I still I have my camera that can be used in underwater, leaving me an option to explore for now...of course am not going to get into anything bigger than a swimming pool :)

..its unfortunate that I get very little time to visit blogs.

Glance of a Dancer...

Doesn't it seem like a peacock turning back to have a glance...

It ain't so easy to blog again especially when I have lost both the essential mediums - my Camera & Laptop.

And most of the pictures in this blog were taken using the same camera. The very reason of me writing had temporarily ceased. The source to capture my perspectives does not exist. And it's not fun to browse anymore...especially when I know that nothing is going to fall apart in my absence.

I have not logged into orkut/ fb/ movies site for three weeks now, and will not till I get a new laptop. And then get a new camera...like starting from a scratch. Maybe this time I should take only the best. I know that I am not so organised this time. But I had to write this post, else I would have taken few months to write something. I had started blogging when I din't have them both.

...it hurts only when we feel the absence of something that was felt so close to us. My experiences with my first camera would remain in my memories...the pictures here would be a reminder to me.

Everyday is like a greeting card...
...some make us smile :)
...some make us frown :(
but this has definitely changed my attitude...

For those who were wondering what this picture is...it's the screen saver that came with my laptop. One among the last few pictures taken using them both...

Fair Bit(e) of Share...

Life gives everyone their fair bit/ bite of share...

Of course there are/ could be many disappointments in each of the journeys. But I strongly believe that we get what we are supposed to. I know what I deserve & you know what you deserve. Everything else does not matter.

So have fun & do what you love to do...as long as it does not hurt anyone. I don't believe in false hopes & fake chocolate words. But what I do wish is 'May this new year bring us anything/ everything that each of us deserve'...

I also have to agree that unfortunately for many of us - we get the share when we don't want or we don't get when we want...that's the way it would be. And none of us can have a control on that.

So keep munching as long as you have your share...Rock on!

Need of the Hour...

Need of the Hour...

As another year is about to roll past, picked couple of wrist watches for this boxing day (not costly). I am rather choosy when it comes to anything that would be a part of me. And am not a gadgets freak too...its a rare occasion that I like them.

Need of the hour - you never know what one needs at a point of time. Call it the ice-breaker...and my friends like me for that. Don't know how? but I can sense that when someone needs it.

Especially when I see someone sad or not cheerful, like the shop keeper or people I come across...I make sure I see a smile on their face before I leave. Infact those are the moments when I realise the real me, sleeping in.

That would make my day. Now don't ask me how cheerful I am :) I thought the frame with my wrist posture along with watch would go with the title...

The Messengers...

Birds have always been one of my favorite subjects...

Lack of time and equipments always keep me at a distance from them. Fortunately the Snow Geese from Russia have migrated to Canada this time, more. I clicked this during my lunch hour on the way to office. Though the camera was not equipped with a larger zoom capacity, I waited for some group to fly closer. And this is a decent shot.

They all look like a messenger to me, especially the third one in the group - an angel carrying a message. Isn't it!

I wish I could stop my perspectives...but you know, that's the last thing I would do.

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.
