Educate...

If there is one thing in the world that I care about the most, it is child education.

While on one hand I consider myself fortunate to get a good education, I feel deep pain on the other when I go out to shoot on the streets and see children wanting to study, but not fortunate enough.

Of late I have been thinking a lot about education. It sets me nostalgic and I was remembering how I started off with mine. A short description is on my blog.

Hopefully someday I too will be able to do something for the education of these kids.

This shot was taken in my India trip in May 2008.

Mountain Love...

It is said that if you fall in love with the mountains, it keeps calling you back again and again.

My love for the Himalayas, started way back in 1987, when I went to study in a boarding school in the hills of Darjeeling. The stupendous view of the Mountains was what we woke up with on any clear morning.

Everyday I would wish to reach there. Everyday I would wish to be on the top of it.

A couple of months ago my flight was going over the Himalayas. I was asleep until then, but somehow I woke up when the plane was above this.

It was as if the mountains had woken me up, to fulfill my childhood wish.
I perhaps would go again over this at sometime... but the first time is always special.

Fire in the Skies

..
I love it when there is drama like this in the sky.
The day I was shooting this... i literallr ran upstairs shouting drama drama :)

There is something about nature that is so mesmerizing that it is unexplainable.

With you around...

..
there is nothing i need to fear.
the warmth of your love is enough for me..
...
been listening to this song .. amazing lyrics and voice.
Bade Acche Lagte Hain

Lyrics:

बड़े  अच्छे  लगते  है
ये  धरती, ये  नदियाँ , ये  रैना  और  तुम

हम  तुम  कितने  पास  है , कितने  दूर  हैं  चाँद  सितारे
सच  पूछो  तो  मन  को  जूठे  लगते  हैं  ये  सारे
मगर  सच्चे  लगते  है , ये  धरती ...

तुम  इन  सब  को  छोड़  के  कैसे  कल  सुबह  जाओगी
मेरे  साथ   इन्हे  भी  तो  तुम   याद  बहुत   आओगी
बड़े  अच्छे  लगते  हैं  ...

Biking...

...i remember the first bicycle that I had was when I had passed the 10th grade. In fact I had just learnt to learn how to ride it in the 9th class.

i remember ... i remember..

Sit...

Come...
Sit with me..

Lets talk.

Love...

Starting a new month is always nice.
The bank balance is high.
The shopping and going out motivations are higher.
And the love should be the highest :)
