Mind Sketch

I could not resist taking snaps of this man untill he noticed me and was uncomfortable, almost about to leave.  I was a bit surprised to see his hurry and the way he pressed 'bidi' hard on the unusal 'seat' he was seated upon. On saying that I will not click again he was a bit relaxed and ok but still his hollow eyes sounded like as if he does not trusted those words....... I went back towards excise office building where Syed was busy with govt officials. He was observing on me now as if still he feared being clicked. His unusual seat (it is actually a dust bin where he was seated) and ocean at backdrop reminds me of 'Vishnu' the second GOD in trinity ( Brahma ,Vishnu & Mahesh).

You don't be rich to have simple pleasures of life. This man is exactly having same dictum in practise. His carefree gesture, gazing at passing by beauties, wearing 'funky' blue colored poly bag and sitting on unusual 'seat' puts hims class apart from others who spent good money but still remain aloof from quiet enriching moments of life. He also reminds of Vishnu. Second god in the Trinity. Like Vishnu he is sitting on coiling serpent with blue sea soaring and his posture is totally 'free' from any effort. Who knows who he is !!!

Resting Time (Har Ki Pauri - Haridwar )

And you thought only bird's prepare nest! Well this picture shows ants too do this beautiful task.  First they select a tree which has juicy green leaves. Swamps of ants wil raid the the selected leaves and suck out the juice out and once this process is over  they will combine leaves to form a cup in which they will built up their colony. I just lifted a leaf which seemed like a lid placed on the cup and this newly constructed home was full of buzzing with ants !!! About The Picture: Clicked at office of Lenovo India Pvt.

In Frame: Rickshaw wala taking a nap during a hot summer afternoon. This rickshaw wala found some time to take a quick nap. But for poor man even rest comes with heavy cost. And its 'forced' rest as there is no one to ferry. This picture was shot at Shri VardaRaj Temple @ M.G Road - Pondicherry.
