Sometimes, you just have to go through the motions to stay afloat. Stay hopeful despite odds, despite not feeling very well, with all the noise inside, you just have to remain quiet for a while. The last couple of weeks were tough but I was surrounded by positivity and good vibes, people who genuinely caredContinue reading “Survival”

2024 – The Year That Was
~Love~Hopes~Dreams~Resilience~ To better days. To sunshine. Cheers ❤️💐🎇🙏 ~A Year in Pictures~
Friday Vibes
A distinctive photograph! Sometimes, such a perfect shot explains sanity over insanity. The essence of it is quite subjective, so I would rather leave it to you to derive a meaning out of it. I am sure, whatever comes out of it will define your perspective.
The Flying Point
The landscape of airports in the country has transformed spectacularly in the last 10 years or so. Chennai Airport is no exception to this transition period. Airports are not merely to board and land these days, they have become much more than just a place from flights take off from one destination to another. AirportsContinue reading “The Flying Point”
The Golden Temple, Amritsar
Our visit to the holy place was nothing short of a dream that finally came true. In the bucket list for eternity, this is now truly ‘Done’. Truly, a divine experience! Merely just setting our foot in the largest Gurudwara was indeed a cherished moment, something which cannot be described in simple words. After aContinue reading “The Golden Temple, Amritsar”
Pouring Snow
On his birthday in 2021, it was raining snow in Peterborough. It felt divine, we felt the gods were blessing him with all they had, and we were buried under supreme whiteness of sheer joy and a sense of goodness that was to follow. Such days of bliss are rare, and remain unforgettable.
Castle of 007
One of the most visited castles in the Western Highlands of Scotland, Eilean Donnan Castle invokes stunning beauty and nostalgia for the James Bond aficionados. Surrounded by 3 lochs – Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh, the castle is a paradise for photographers like me. I could spend all day here and would be still gasping forContinue reading “Castle of 007”
JCP Attari – An Emotional Experience
This place will give you goosebumps. Not just the aura, but for the intense emotions that this place exudes along with the stigma of sadness and incomprehensible loss that we have witnessed over the years remains unparalleled, this stage will let you scream from the inside for the lives we have lost. For the firstContinue reading “JCP Attari – An Emotional Experience”
Spain’s Night Out
Spain were deserving winners last night. I was disappointed with England’s defensive approach and lacklustre football. In such high profile finals, we expect teams to take an all-out approach where you look to penetrate early, % of ball possession needs to be at the maximum and force the opponent to take risks and capitalise onContinue reading “Spain’s Night Out”
End of an Era
Watching today’s Wimbledon final felt like ‘passing over the mantle to the next generation’ kind of a feeling. Djokovic is a champion player and his stats speak for themselves – 24 Grand Slams, 7 Wimbledon titles and iconic rivalries with contemporary giants like Federer and Rafa. But everything doesn’t last forever. I still remember thoseContinue reading “End of an Era”
Marble Vibes
I visited Taj Mahal around 30 years ago. And then, came back to the white marbles in Dec 2023 with my family. And, what we saw was beyond what we felt. There is no doubt, and absolutely undisputed, this place has an ‘Aura’ which cannot be described in mortal words. And no, not because itContinue reading “Marble Vibes”
Silence
This picture was shot during the Pandemic (in Oct 2020). It was still so beautiful around but fear and death were doing the rounds then. The silence was so deafening that we all wanted this to end, desperately. Thankfully, here we are. Times change.
