Mangoed!

 Year after year the king of fruits' always flaunts its variety and demand in style. Intense and fierce auctioning goes on at these mango depots which governs the price of this rich fruit daily. And be assured just like the petrol hike the mangoes this season too will pinch pockets.

Pretty Solid Pillars

When the foundation itself is built around the principles of aesthetics, it does not matter how old the brick laden structure may be, it is bound to look beautiful. The intricacy of these artistic pillars can be well compared with the famous Spanish architect, Antonio Gaudi's work.

Fishy Nook

The well fed fisher- women very comfortably making sales of the staple food for the 'bongs'. In one of the recent hindi flicks, a Bengali gentleman mentions that- "a man is judged  from the way he selects the fish for the house". Is it really a man's duty to select fish or is it a manly thing to do or do men just have the instinct to pick the most appropriate of them all.? Well, from my observation most customers at this fishy street happened to be men. After all, do men really excel at fish picking?

Rustic Retirement

With the help of media, banks feel free to scare citizens about life upon retirement and strategically targeting the young generation about investing for a better future. Does every proportion of the penny you earn today has to be saved up for days you may or may not live for? Yes, it is a smart way to save for the unforeseen expenditure but are you giving up your present life to enjoy the future? No, am not talking about the American way living that is consume and over consume every time you get your pay cheque but instead investing to fulfill your dream and if your not a dreamer then entrusting for happiness.

High tea at Indian Disney land

An evening spent with rotating cups and saucers. Drinking tea, which otherwise is a mature adult habit and is usually forbidden for kids in this case sanctions the freedom to enjoy the familiar cutlery wherein the beverage is replaced with happy young souls making crazy circles.

Clash of ornate and colonial

A solid peak of decorated pyramid like structure which happens to be the top of a Hindu temple and in the backdrop is the town clock from the British Raj. The stark contrast dosn't seem very opposing in today's era but when this extreme combination is in your face you do start identifying the dissimilarities.

Meet Lilly(s)

Gazing at this enormous bed of gazillion Lillis made me want to change my profession to a  horticulturalist very desperately. Am not sure what it takes to be in this profession but being around this sea of cooling white-ness is very inviting and tempting. I also began imagining an aerial view of this lush combination of white and green, and what a unique spot it would make on a topography map.

Bridges of an unknown county

It is refreshing to see rural India catching up and in some cases surpassing the developments made in the urban land. Is it really the birth of a new India which is a cusp of both extremes and as Mr. Santosh Desai calls it the 'Hyper Bharat'?

Defined Face

Facial surface with lines that are flexible and over the years has built a firm character. This expression of deep thoughts makes numerous creases and folds that depicts age in its most raw and pure form.

Shady Tripod

When the mercury is on the rise and the sun over imposes its blazing radiance, the homo sapiens or most species are left with no choice but to invent unique measures to keep their cool. One such invention captured is of a 3 legged structure, with an umbrella hood that is supported with balanced weight (in this case veggies in a poly bag). Although the function of shelter is very basic it varies across Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Yellow Infinity

A cloud of yellow, a yellow horizon, blossoming yellow, the dense and vast yellow. Cheerful, happy and uplifting scene that is seasonal but is expected back every year.

Typically Bawa

(Picture taken in Navsari, Gujarat)
This is a style of architecture that is typically Parsi in origin and has been incorporated in the design. A standing that marks of the tradition of Indian architecture and cultural heritage based on the lines of Parsi styles. This is a rare confluence of cultures that blends into one. More so when you notice the 'swastika' symbol  which is considered  sacred and holy by Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and Zoroastrians and remains very widely used from ancient times to present day, as well as a symbol of Nazism.

Tomato produced electricity

An illusion of a bizarre source of energy.  The theory of electromagnetism hasn't altered for years but just the thought of a different medium to light that bulb up is a sparkling hope!

Default Aesthetics

When things are kept orderly or when its appears to be well garnished it is classified as aesthetics of the eye. Then it does not matter whether it is done knowingly or unknowingly, the visual treat overlooks all the errors or the gesture of fluke.

Tired Circulation

Old, painful, weak and haggered but stands strong. Although pale, the circular symmetry is not an optical illusion. Yes, it does not classify as a sophisticated antique and neither does it fall in the 'old is gold' classification but when in motion it matches up to any required velocity.

The inanimate animate

Infusing life into inanimate objects by putting them in an ideal context. Treating life- less things like the real is always more appreciated and admired. This combination of the the unreal in a real scenario makes the picture more alive.
