Love at first sight.

Further love at subsequent sights!

Almost Set

One of the rare days when I was still out after 5, giving me the chance to get caught in the wonderful fading light of day (and the really cold wind).

Carriageworks and Us

My second time there, and I am still mesmerized by the space it offers.

Was also glad for the company, and the shared fun in taking the kind of pictures only people of the “same kind” would know how to appreciate…

 

Morning Rays

The Resilient Escapist

I guess one of the most depressing things about escapism

Is that inescapable fact

That one will still need to return to reality;

Sometime, someday, somehow.

Are we ever able to escape, completely?

 

Yet, this knowledge about inescapability –

Doesn’t stop us from constantly trying.

That’s why we read.

That’s why we take pictures.

That’s why we try to lose ourselves in moments of pure, soulful music.

We are more resilient than we think, after all.

Morning Light

May Day.

I stood in the kitchen for a few moments, and admired the silent beauty of the slanting rays around me.

Nature’s subtle reminder that there can only be light because there is darkness,

And the beauty of light is enhanced by shadows.

Thank you for showing me the beauty in simple things.

Fragility

If our muscles get stronger with training,

And senses get sharper with tuning,

Why doesn’t the heart,

An organ of muscles and senses,

Develop the ability to hold fort

Against the attack of emotions and feelings?

At the end of the day,

It feels like the heart,

That which plays the integral role in our entire existence,

is actually the most fragile of all.

At The End of the Day

At the end of the day,

When the world is bathed

In the warm orange hues of sunset,

Do you sometimes stop to think

If you’ve given too much

Just to please others –

Just to avoid conflict –

Just to live?

If Shadows Smiled

If shadows smiled

And softened their gazes

The world might be lighter

With less dark places
