3 A.M

It is 3 in the morning and I'm walking from room to room, unable to sleep. But as I wander about like a lost soul, i realize how eerie yet beautiful my house looks at night. Soft lights falling though windows casting fantastic moving shadows, of trees and lampposts outside, on the bed, floor, walls, everywhere...!!!
The whole damn house comes alive with a bluish hue!!!
:)

Blitzkrieg...

So every time I take the turn out of my apartment gate, I stand still...Just like that for at least 5 minutes. I can't help it, really. Its just this one small stretch of road, which in my opinion is so beautiful, picture-perfect, that every time I step out, I'm compelled to take a picture that justifies what I see. But that's the thing with nature's beauty. You just can't capture it lifelike.
Above are some of my desperate attempts. :/

Twin Worlds

It don't think you'd notice it, and I don't think 'It' would notice us. But we are two massive worlds, living together, having an intertwined existence. Meeting occasionally and causing mayhem in the process.

Speed Of Light...

The journey from Mumbai to Goa contains a lot of tunnels being dug into the Western Ghats.
So I'm sitting on the edge of the steps of a train moving at a 10,000 miles an hour and everything is just a senseless blur. Each time a tunnel comes, all I manage to do is hold onto whatever I can because I'm just being blown away by the sheer tornado of wind hitting my face, which is literally being smothered like a sandwich. I'm actually inside a train's slipstream. All I can hear is this thundering all consuming roar of wind around me like a billion rock concerts and a contrasting but rhythmic clinking of the train's wheels which kind of punctuates the wind scream rather nicely. It all adds up very well, I tell you.
Amidst all this chaos and turbulence, with my camera flying all around the place, I manage to point it in the forward direction and press the shutter a couple of times. And I get this...
Its so beautiful, what I see. The spiraling mixture of wind and light which merges ever so softly with the contours of the train, as it exits out of the tunnel, I keep doing it for the next 6 tunnels.
One actually has to be there to witness it!!

Bokeh...

My feeble attempt at a Bokeh...i just can't seem to get the settings nor the conditions right...
:/

Eternal Sunshine On The Spotless Floor...

The Hall Of Wisdom...

It was more like a family, all working for a common cause, than a corporate no nonsense arena filled with sharp ties and crisp suits...
I miss that place...

Just Another Rainy Day...

Was out on the streets the other day, driving. It had rained pretty hard the previous night and it was still drizzling.
Monsoons can give rise to some really beautiful scenic vistas. Imagine an entire rain drenched city, as clean as new, alive and breathing, like a young plant in a rain forest. Colors become more vivid and the smell, Oh Boy! One can capture a good amount of detail even with a basic camera during such times..

Ravines In My Mind...

Future City

Summer time presents some really scenic cloud views. One gets to see clouds of varying shapes and sizes. The one I clicked here are the Altocumulus type clouds, a type of mid-level clouds composed mostly of water droplets and a little ice. They form at an altitude of 6,500 to 20,000 feet.

Who's Afraid...??

I know I am...

My Best Friend...

Just my brother. Was fiddling with his phone late one night. The light from his cellphone illuminated just his face making its contours clearly visible against the dark of the night.

Our Blurry Past...

Yesterday was history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift, that's why its called Present!!

Cosmic Strings...

Crystal World...

I think I see an entire world in these glass shells. A world always hidden from view, clouded by the obvious. What if we were to stop, take a deep breath and look beyond. What is the world like past these dark sunken shapes and noises. How come I see these glasses and feel as if they are vibrating to the tune of some cosmic song!? Its beautiful, you know. All you got to do is Listen...Shhh!

Srinivas' Ferrari

My friend owns this giant Lego Ferrari. He likes to dismantle and remodel it again n again....
Boasts that it has a working V12 engine too...
All said and done, it looks awsm!!!

The Beating that it takes..!!

The shoe that i wear, and the beating that it takes. This picture is in memory for its unflinching service...

The Lines of Me

For some unknown reason am feeling all tensed up and cluttered mentally. Maybe cz i slept at the wrong time, or maybe something else. This event seems to occur at night mostly and persistently stays till i sleep. Can get pretty irritating as it starts interfering with my day to day affairs. I don't seem to find any reliable solution to this strange but overpowering problem. Maybe cz last night i discussed about something out of the ordinary. Who am i?
Naa, cant be that. Am sure its something way deeper. As if i am trying to find an intangible solution to an equally inequationable problem. Or maybe its something way much simpler than that and my mind is just getting complex solutions to childish equations.
I'll just leave it at that...
:)

The Glow at the End of the Road

My mind is buzzing with all these less than important thoughts. Its slowly getting difficult to control 'em, put a reign on 'em. They are getting so over-overwhelmingly powerful that ignoring them or side stepping aint in the book. I don't want to think about what has already happened as that is a past i don't want to relive again. But its slowly but surely finding its way back into the deep recesses of my brain as if it never really left me. I know how important and crucial this juncture is in my life as it decides how I make or break my future. But this is something i cant, as they say, push under the carpet. The carpet has turned into a mountain. I've never really felt this comfortable and at ease with anyone before, not this early a stage, i would say. But parallelly, I'm equally frightened of losing a good friend. A friend who is matured, sensible and intelligent. A friend who knows what to say and how much. A friend who knows where to put a stop and where to go with the flow. Its difficult to find such a person, that too..........am at a loss for words like before.
I've just been in one single serious relationship before. But that turned out to be a miserable experience. It taught me not to give away what you only get once. " I will not hurt, nor will I suffer, I'd rather be a mute witness and face the atrocities committed against mankind with a face like stone".
Am writing this because it eases the stress and the tension up in my head. There's no one really there with whom i can share all this, because, its beyond them to grasp my vision and its beyond me to let them grasp me.
I will be strong, I will be clear, I will stand tall and live life without fear. But I will not shame myself nor shall I repeat my wishes as when my wishes become horses, my stable becomes full and I don't have room for another beautiful thought.....
