To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

Ladies and Gentleman, I now have my own website showcasing my Portfolio of work.Hope you all enjoy it.

Kabhi Kabhi..

‘Kabhi Kabhi’ was a movie in the mid 1970's, with Amitabh as the Protagonist and Rakhi as his ex- Luver. I will talk about this particular scene which is quite touching. The scene begins with Rakhi interviewing the once-famous writer Amitabh on national television. She, who at one time knew him in and out, tends to ask him ignorantly  about his current series of work. To which Amitabh blendly replies that he has stopped writing poetry a long time back. This particular scene very succinctly puts a point that Rakhi has very well moved on in life and Amitabh still hold on to the past.

As the interview continues, we see Amitabh revert very personally to Rakhi on her generic questions. The pain and anguish is brilliantly portrayed by him. This is where he recites a poetry that defines his life, post her move on.....

Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein

Khayaal Aata Hai

Ke Zindagi Teri Zulfon Ki Naram

Chaaon Mein Guzarne Pati

To Shahdaab Ho Bhi Sakti Thi

Yeh Ranj-O-Gam Ki Syahi

Jo Dil Pe Chhayi Hai

Teri Nazar Ki Shuwaon Mein

Kho Bhi Sakti Thi

Magar Yeh Ho Na Saka

Magar Yeh Ho Na Saka Aur

Ab Yeh Aalam Hai

Ke Tu Nahin, Tera Gam,

Teri Justaju Bhi Nahin

Guzar Rahi Hai Kuch Is

Tarah Zindagi Jaise

Ise Kisike Sahare Ki

Aarzoo Bhi Nahin

Na Koi Raah, Na Manzil,

Na Roshni Ka Suraakh

Bhatak Rahi Hai Andheron

Mein Zindagi Meri

Kabhi Kabhie Mere Dil Mein

Khayal Aata Hai…..”

Quite a recite I must say. The interview ends and a new twist is brilliantly depicted through Shashi Kapoor, who enters the scene as husband to Rakhi. Shashi invites Amitabh for a drink and this is where he recites Amitabh's old poem. The camera focuses on Rakhi and Amitabh in the backdrop. Both lost in the past.

Kabhi Raste mein mil jao, to katrakar guzar jaana

Hame iss tarah taknaa jaise pehchaana nahi tumne,

Hamara Zikra jab aaye to yun anjaan ban jaana,

ke jaise naam sunkar bhi hame jaana nahi tumne!

A Brilliant shot. You can watch this scene in You Tube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEUjVUbJlPY&feature=fvwrel

Happy Bday Mr. Kuvelker.

Let Another Year bell ring,

Let Another year be a Memorable One

As time goes by i wonder' Maine kya Paya, Kya Koya'

Contemplate

Does it help ??

"We contemplate all the time, knowing very well that it wont help an inch "

She Hides Away...

She Hides Away

For the Sin's, She COmmitted

For the Promises, She Spoke

For the Heart, She Broke

She Hides Away

To be in Someone's

Elses Arm,

But Forgets

That She has

Just lost her Charm

She Hides Away

To Lead An Easier Life

To Live a Guilt Free Life

But Alas,
She Keeps Missing
That

Life doesnt Erase memories
And they

Just keeps Coming Back

Hampi

I studied in a place called Hubli in Karnataka. The place was 3 hours distance from Hampi. But never in my wildest dreams during my Engineering days, would i thought that one day i would look forward for visiting this ruins. As they say, you never value the things that are readily available to you.

The trip to Hampi was quite a memorable one, for few right reason and a few wrong ones. I met my Engineering friends after a long time (precisely 7 yrs), but realised that the bond that had formed during the study days still remain intact. Infact grew stronger with time. Once you touch someones heart, they bond stay's on.

As i look back in time, I realise that the Hampi trip just takes me to a flashback. Many things happened got decided over the trip. They stay now intact in my mind and shall remain so in my soul.
