Portait of the monsoon!



Raindrops on periwinkle flowers, a sight to behold! 
To enjoy the monsoon truly, you have to study a rain drop bursting from the cloud and settling on a flower/leaf/window sill or any other surface. Believe me the beauty of the moment grows on you!

Witnessing a rain drop that just landed on the flower petal from the cloud has solemn grace that is beyond words! That drop, during its ephemeral relationship with the petal quivering with the gentle breeze and almost on verge of flowing from one elegant moment to another! 

To me, that tiny droplet and its intense relationship with the flower in those fleeting moments, is a complete portrait of the entire monsoon!!!

Home sweet home!

An arte fact made with paper mâché 

If you live in big city, you will know how space crunched the cities are becoming by the day. Finding work is not difficult but being able to buy a roof on the head where one can live with dignity is a dream many urban people are finding impossible to achieve! 
I Came across this interesting artefact made with paper mâché that reflects the very primal need of human beings; to own a home and "settle down". In city like Mumbai that is home to many people from across the country, the struggle of everyday existence is evident in every nook and corner. The city has layers and layers that unfold if you care enough to dig the surface of all the glamour and glitz that attracts so many people to the city chasing an elusive dream of better opportunities, every day! And no matter how hard the struggle, everybody just wants to have a house of their own!
