The Horizon

You've touched upon the edge,
Will you fall over or stumble back ?
Well, don't lose courage,
Keep your guts intact.
Take a confident stride forward,
Be not afraid look beyond,
There's a deep layer of knowledge,
Just waiting to be found.
Its the horizon you've reached,
Its where the sky meets the land,
Its the horizon that awaits you,
So make your entrance grand.

Horizon - Video Introduction

I made this slideshow as part of a visual introduction to the annual fest of my department.

It is a perspective on how much more math there is around us than we choose to acknowledge.

Photography seems to have unbounded potential for creativity.
Its an art, and the greatest photographers have the talent to capture real, actual objects in they're most obvious environments, but with a completely awe-inspiring perspective. The focus points, lightings, positions and many other variables are involved in capturing the perfect image, but if you're a natural, it takes a matter of seconds for all these factors to fall into your desired range. The photographer becomes one who holds the power to influence everything into the most suitable places so that his object or goal falls beautifully in his line of sight.

I Saw Rhythm

In the middle of a sudden cool and dusty evening breeze, there was a group of folk artists collected outside an eating joint. The men (more in number than the women) were dressed in white kurta pajamas and the 3 women in orange ghagras. They played their 'daphlis' and flutes to make wonderously simple yet captivating music, to which they danced making moves so natural and harmonized, it was like watching some perfect rhythm spontaneously come alive to celebrate a weather so pleasantly sudden.
I wanted to just stand there and watch, unwilling to leave the sight and sound. It made me wonder, what if I could travel the country at leisure and get to witness more such spectacles. The country is so vast and brimming with culture, it would be like a feast.
Folk culture can be so engaging is something I realised only after sighting a few men and women in celebration outside a local eating joint...just imagine how engaging its going to be once I get to see it in its actual environment, in full splendour!

Take me higher

Certain moments in life are so wonderfully unforgettable that you'd dream about them every minute you get. The desire to relive those moments and relive them in slow motion can be so overpowering.. Reliving such moments are like stimulants--it gives you a euphoric high!

:)

So many little unexpected things make me smile!
And so many things become happy once I'm smiling through them.
