The Lost Vagabond

         "The Death of A Day" I apologize for the quality of the picture. My phone camera could not bring out much in such dim light. The sky had taken on a very pale shadow with the evening falling in. On the other hand the monsoon season in this corner of the world had called for shades of some grey. As I looked outside my window that evening, there was this beautiful scenario that gave me chills. I knew I had to capture this moment right away. With this person on the other end of the connecting line, I took the shot.  The emotion that was playing somewhere was something kind of like a hiraeth. The end of such a day creeps up from time to time and remain uncalled for, unique in its own way. A perfect moment thus created at the death of a day. Random clicks. REDMI 4A 08.01.2020

"THE TOUCH OF JAPAN" These are some clicks of my little neighborhood. As you can probably guess that it is a very quiet place with very few people. almost none on the streets. The most beautiful part of here is that it doesn't fall under the direct congested area of the city; rather, it is a small neighborhood which likes to be surrounded by a number of trees in its own serene tranquility, beyond the city's hustling pollution. And also due to this, the gradient shades of colour is frequently visible on the vast canvas overhead. This mesmerizing scenarios like to make me think of my surroundings being painted by a Japanese artist turning this place into nothing less than a Japanese neighborhood. Maybe it's my love for that place that compels me from finding such likeness. These clicks altogether have been gathered for over quite a period of time, maybe about a span of three years. But little by little, they found a sequence and that's how this post came into be...

"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...

"SO WE REMAIN" It was just another evening when me and my friend went for a walk down the roads of the city. It just happened to be dark when we were sitting on the grassy land of Maidan and having  a few laughs about our daily monologues. As we were about to leave, we came across this picturesque beauty of a landscape which depicted quite the mystique part of the City of Joy, beautifully bringing out the glamorous essence of the city with the illuminated Victoria Memorial Hall in the darkening backdrop of the evening.  I didn't notice while I was capturing the frame but after the click as I zoomed in and took a look, I found the exquisite moment caught by my camera, the silhouette of a duo right under the brightened light as if highlighting the same.  And thus, once again I was mesmerized by time, moment and the click of the shutter and how a fantasizing relationship they behold.
