"CLiCK!"

              'Click!', the shutter goes off. I don't know what the sound of a shutter going off does to you, but to me it creates an insatiable feeling from inside that provokes me to live in "a" moment, a bit more closely. The lust for capturing the glimpse of an unrequited moment is kind of an addiction to me. Photography is something to me what morning coffee does to you or when the soft breeze touches your skin and piercing through it sways every nerve of your body. It is something through which I feel a bit more alive rather than just breathing. It is like I am born and reborn through that "one" shot of the camera. I find a new life in every picture clicked. I can crawl, I can roam around, I can fly and not care about anything but that particular instance and relive it once more for a split of a second. It makes me feel free. Through photography, I learn the effortless beauty of an occurrence. As it's said that a picture is worth a thousand words, I do believe in that. Because you see, a photograph is not just only a moment captured inside a frame but also the each and every bit , here and there, that is persuaded by that one click and it tells of every thing that is no longer to come. All these make a place for this vagabond to reside in and call it a "home".

The Innocent Whimsicality of Children

  "LITTLE ONES"     Over the years that I've lived, there's one thing that always remains a constant which I keep coming back to because it is worthy of it. The child inside me. Children are like dewdrops. They are truly these beautiful angelic beings who are incapable of nothing. They are themselves the beam of joy and bring the same to everyone surrounding them. They are always mischievous and running about their whims. You can catch them, but can never hold them back. And all the while, if I have learnt something from these little buddies, it has to be "the art of living".  To all of the children out there, take love. Children clicks.

Through The Rain

"AND THEN RAIN CAME IN" It is the month of June already as we are continued to be in quarantine. In this part of the world, it's monsoon now and so comes splashing every now and then, The Rain.  I don't really know but this very season is a bit closer to me than the others of the cycle. There's no particular reason I could think of except for the fact that the day I was born, it rained heavily as they say. So maybe it's that or maybe something else but when the rain comes and with it the strange feeling of something that I cannot really express, I suppose, the cold but gentle touch of nature along with the smell of the sky and as it pours down on the city all over and just cleanses her down is what I really look forward to every time.  As I write this, it's again a cloudy sky outside now and that's the best part of this time. These are some clicks I took a few days back after quite a drizzle took place. The raindrops fell on the cobweb of my window and...

Curious Cat in A Bakery

"The Kulcha Bakery" Once, I came across this little, local bakery in the Kargil city of Ladakh region in Kashmir. I was taking a stroll down the street by the apartment we were staying at the moment after a scrumptious breakfast of roti, sabzi,  and omelet at a busy local store. That is when I saw someone putting up some freshly baked goods in the glass cabinet of a store. I was curious since it was a very small, shady door leading to the dim-lit shop. Nonetheless, I walked right in and what I saw left me amazed. I was kind of flabbergasted by the sight of these beautiful preparations of local bread. I asked the man who was preparing the clay oven which very much resembled a traditional tandoori oven regarding the ready-to-go doughs and came to know them as ' kulcha' . They looked absolutely delicious with sesame seeds sprinkled on top of them. As I was trying to click pictures of these goodies, the man carried on with the preparations. He didn't talk much and con...
