Life Just Is

Stacking Memories in “Stone”

Nandini — Sun, 19 May 2013 14:24:12 +0000

Some “golden” sunset memories from last year when I was enjoying the evening with my family. We didn’t need a restaurant or a shopping mall, just us and some stones and perhaps this river too…

The sun finally did hide behind the mountain and the night hurriedly set in, but the time that we spent together was priceless.

~ That whole time the river flew in its own joy, and so did we… ~

~ View from the opposite side ~ ~ My mother picked these stones from the thousands that were lying at the riverside and carefully stacked them up ~ ~ It was fun watching her do this, hehehe ~ ~ A very tiny and simple task I know, but “sweetest” thing in the world! ~

Merging or Parting?

“Nothing that is can pause or stay;
The moon will wax, the moon will wane,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain,
The rain to mist and cloud again,
Tomorrow be today.“

Playing with Light

Playing with light just like it plays with us.

A different kind of fun.

Rest of the photos are in Black & White.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

Creepy Plant

When this plant reminded me of cockroach’s antennae, it gave me goosebumps (I guess I do suffer from a ~~tiny~~ amount of Katsaridaphobia). And then I laughed on myself for getting affected that way by just looking at this plant long enough. So to remember this moment, I captured this “funny” plant.

“If you can find the line between sympathetic and creepy, you have reached a very funny area.”
~ Jason Segel

Or may be… it was trying to mimic a cockroach.

Deep Thinking…

Going… going….

I wanted to know the name of every stone and flower and insect and bird and beast. I wanted to know where it got its color, where it got its life - but there was no one to tell me.

Nice Dream

Nandini — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:22:17 +0000

Oceans spreading blue down there,
or may be perhaps up there…
Threads of clouds floating, hanging
Am I Walking or am I flying,
I keep wondering where I am…
and why… why… why…

Real or not, awake or asleep,
Happening or not,
How can I be sure?
Do I really need to be sure…
O dream! O dream! O dream!

Nice Dream.
