Re-United Colors of Google Gang

After years we meet
You were surprised to see our breed.
The class you taught was a herd of tender souls
You were happy to witness them bloom many folds.
Little did you know you had left a big impression
You were someone’s infatuation.
Secrets unfolded in the party so nice
You gave us a day, none can put a price!

The Seeker

For the last 15 years, I have woken up to the same Sun but a completely new air each day. That's the magic of the city I grew up in. But the very foundation of my love was shaken by my brief stay in a fairy land so pleasant that it feels like a dream when I look back.
This resulted in an inner turmoil which burnt through my guts and led to the decision of exploring the city with a fresh angle. As with every change, it was hard to overcome the inertia. To abandon the luxuries and take the rough life of an ordinary Delhite was one of the toughest decision I ever had to take. Keeping up to it, another big hurdle. But thanks to the ever-changing face of this land, it felt like a cold breeze on a chilly winter morning with dews settling on my cheeks. My lost memories cried back to me as if they wanted to be set free. And I gave in.
This is the story of my search for the soul of the city I love.

Potraiture

I have a new passion
And it is not to be confused with fashion
It’s you who I want
And not your body what I demand
A picture is worth a thousand words they say
But it’s your personality that I want to convey

Democracy Hurts


It is a sheer coincidence that I am writing my first blog on Independence Day. Had it been even seven decades earlier, I definitely couldn't have thought of doing so (well, the internet was developed in the 1950s but even if it were available in the 30s, would I have really been allowed to so?). Thanks to the millions who gave their lives willingly and unwillingly for me to enjoy this freedom. 

The question is- how wisely are we using this freedom? The free media is propagating everything it shouldn't and enjoying its freedom to mislead people. The freedom to carry bombs is another example. It scary to travel by public transport these days. I dropped my umbrella in the metro today which created a sharp sound. The fear on the face of my fellow commuters was overwhelming. Then in the bus, a black bag created a havoc. Later, it turned out to be of a passenger who was enjoying his freedom to listen to music and freedom to not to care. 

But let's not crib today. Let's enjoy what we have. Here are a few snaps of the tibetan refugees who have been fighting for democracy for the last 70 years. It's good to see them enjoying their freedom in India which provides refuge to the ethnic group.

Inception



It has been long overdue
I need to show you my rue
The path I chose is not a flowery bed
But it's not the toughest to tread

Here I create i arani
And share stories so many
From Photography to Physics
I present you a well shaken mix
