Surrender

We wouldn't know why we were fighting in the first place..

Everything Will Be OK

Don't panic! Everyone needs a bit of reassurance from time to time. 

This is a balloon within a balloon which I got as a birthday gift from a group of special friends. Thanks! Well this was the head part that dropped off, and it has been shrinking due to escaping air so I decided to shoot it before its totally flat. One of the first photos in which I saw the light after having bought a new flash the week before. Yes pun intended.

Dreams So Bold

Inspired by this.

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.

And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather...

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.

“But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet; tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.” - Yeats

Illidan Rinma

I never thought one could possibly juggle so many projects at a time.  I'm handling like 10 different accounts at any time throughout the day and my head hurts an awful lot. Partly because people like me don't ever shut down our thoughts completely, and even as I'm relaxing, my brain is still racking up a whole bunch of trial solutions in the background. Its not resting! And hence my week long migraine spells continues... Thinking be damned. 

Tranquility

We have reached Tranquility Base... The Eagle has landed.

I have been watching this particular series called "When We Left the Earth". I have always believed that being able to float unencumbered while looking unto the Earth and deep space, only to realize how minute you are, as one of the truly humbling experience there can ever be.

Well we are approaching May now. Many events have transpired in between then, many wonderful ones that I would love to write about, but with its equal share of unpleasanties. Unlike some people, I don't believe in writing a one-sided account with only the joyful aspects. There is nothing to learn or recount from this, and as a result history will tend to repeat itself.

Emirash

In a continuation on running water...

Echo finds the paths of late in ruins

Sacked by the very people that Echo sought not to judge

Yet a pack of plunderers feigning ignorance

No matter here

For Echo is nimble of mind

Yet mellowed, mellowed in wrath

Undeterred by the howls of water rushing from the deep

Echo, echo, drink to life, every last drop of it.

Ptichka Kamaya

Today I say goodbye to an old friend, Ptichka.. Who knew you would have been with me for almost 2 years, teaching me to take better pictures with simple tools. I know you will be a great teacher and serve your new owner well. Kamaya.

Cups

The cup is half empty, the cup is half full.

I had a wonderful day, one of the best since January. It takes so much and yet so little, for one to stay alive, and I just want to tell you to keep running the race till the finish. I'll be there as and when you need my half of the cup. Life continues.

A Day At The River

Running water, especially rapid torrential ones, I won't say that I have an affinity with them. But right now, everything I want to say, is captured in this picture moment.

Thank You.

How about getting off of these antibiotics
How about stopping eating when I'm filled up
How about them transparent dangling carrots
How about that ever elusive kudo

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

How about me not blaming you for everything
How about me enjoying the moment for once
How about how good it feels to finally forgive you
How about grieving it all one at a time

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

The moment I let go of it was
The moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it was
The moment I touched down

How about no longer being masochistic
How about remembering your divinity
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How about not equating death with stopping

Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence

yeah yeah
ahh ohhh
ahhh ho oh
ahhh ho ohhhhhh
yeaahhhh yeahh
