Bhava – A transition

As a bud blossoms elegantly into a flower, such is the beauty of the transition of a woman.

Getting ready ...

Getting ready …

From being a shy nubile girl to a woman who unmindful of rules and norms set by society sets forth  to meet her lover.

When Lovers meet:-)

Young Love

Her journey then to becoming a young mother who turns into a child herself in the presence of her little one.

Motherly Love

Motherly Love

Finally being the ultimate source of Shakti  - the Shakti that can destroy all evil that seeks to disrupt this harmonious world of hers.

Shakti - Slayer of Evil

A woman represents each of these facets of Love and Compassion!!

Lost in the virtual world

The other day I decided to stroll across the local park and it was surprising that I hadn’t seen it till now. Reason? Well, first of all it was big (by city standards) and secondly it was really a photographer’s delight….not to mention the health-conscious and loverbird groups trying to enjoy the nature ;-)

Virtual  World

Virtual World

Sometimes I really get irritated with technology or rather people’s attitude towards it. It is as if everyone has forgotten to look around them and enjoy the bounties of nature around them. For instance, this gentlemen, of all the places in the world, found the garden to check his FB notifications and whatsapp messages.  Just couldn’t help clicking the shot :-P

 

Holi hai …..yeah!!

Feel like its been ages since I wrote a full-fledged post with my shots … yeah, time has been a constant challenge ;-)

Go Green!!

Go Green!!

 Well for starters, there is a whole lot of stuff happening and by God’s grace ….. it’s Awesome!! This year Holi was bit different.

Rain Dance ....yeah!!!

Sombre look ... Bleeding Blue ;-)

The first letter….

Yesterday was Saraswati pujo and the day when many Bengali toddlers undergo the ritual of writing their first alphabet under the blessings of the Goddess and their elders.

Goddess Saraswati, considered as the Goddess of Wisdom and Creativity, is highly worshipped across India.
