You see a tree that has bloomed and looks beautiful. Plenty of picture ideas hit you right then. You start capturing photographs with the phone that’s always in your hand. Pictures of the tree; in original, sepia, monochrome. Pictures of you standing - by the tree, in front of the tree. Solo shots, couple shots, … Continue reading Photographs – How many is too many?

Post 30 – On Bangalore, cheese and the good ol’days
I saw a video about Malleswaram on Facebook a few days back. I was at once nostalgic and also saddened. Nostalgic because Malleshwaram is special. It is where I was born and where I have spent many (maybe all) vacations as a kid. Saddened because the video reminded me about how Malleshwaram has changed over … Continue reading Post 30 – On Bangalore, cheese and the good ol’days
Post 27 – Perspective
(This is Perspective, a poem I wrote while I sat by the window watching the traffic outside. It may not be much of a poem; let's call it deconstructed prose. I am not very happy with how it turned out. It sounded much better in my head, like most poems. I liked the idea, so I … Continue reading Post 27 – Perspective
Post 23 – Annie Leibovitz
I attended an Annie Leibovitz photography exhibition a few weeks back. I have always admired her photographs, which is why when I heard about this event (and the fact that it was free), I was excited. I went ahead and reserved slots for me and my friends, none of whom had heard of her. During the week leading up to … Continue reading Post 23 – Annie Leibovitz
Post 21 – On Writing
Busy days and my own laziness prevents me from journaling every single day. I want to but I don't prioritize my writing enough and when the schedule gets too hectic, I allocate my writing time for something else. That is because I underestimate the importance of writing. I am just not my usual self if I go for … Continue reading Post 21 – On Writing
Post 20 – The Hour Before Dawn
I have woken up early today. Earlier than usual. The sun is not out yet. As I sit to write I realize how much I love mornings. I love the peace, the silence and the stillness - they are all so hard to find during the day. It is still dark outside. The sun won't … Continue reading Post 20 – The Hour Before Dawn
Post #15 – Happy Republic Day
I began reading India After Gandhi a few days back. The book is 870 pages long and the reading has been very slow. I am only 11% percent done and so far it has been a good read. For me, reading a book is usually accompanied by reading about the author. This reading goes beyond the about-the-author blurb that is … Continue reading Post #15 – Happy Republic Day
Post #14
What shall I write? I have been sitting here, for what I think has been fifteen minutes, thinking of things to write about. But, it has only been five minutes plus a few wikipedia reads (for inspiration). It is so easy to get succumbed into the web of wikipedia research. One starts with a topic or … Continue reading Post #14
Post #11 – The story of every weekend
The first few hours, on the first day of a long weekend, are probably the best times during the entire holiday. After those initial dream-filled hours have gone by, the rest of the holiday goes by in a blur. Within no time it is the night before you head back to work. All kinds of blues set in and … Continue reading Post #11 – The story of every weekend
Post #10
I tried a new drink today. Its called Sencha Shot. It iced tea basically, except there is no sugar. Just green tea. It contains "Catechins/EGCG - Powerful Antioxidants in tea that help neutralize free radicals". I had never heard to catching before, but now I have consumed them. I hated the drink. It is very … Continue reading Post #10
