Deathly Silent Cemetary


* "A samurai once asked Zen Master Hakuin where he would go after he died. Hakuin answered 'How am I supposed to know?'

'How do you know? You're a Zen master!' exclaimed the samurai.
'Yes, but not a dead one,' Hakuin answered." ~Zen mondo

Yellow and proud of it.


Yellow is an amazing color it signifies warmth and happiness but at the same time cowardice and deceit.
Reminds me of "Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree"
and of course there was the old one: "Yellow yellow dirty fellow", that we used to shout when we were kids.

GREEN GREEN and Green


Calcutta look really good and green in the rainy/monsoon season

Green is the colour of Life. It signifies growth and renewal. It is also known as a restful colour. Among other things it is believed that a green room is a calming one.
Among other things green also is used to signify jealosy and inexperience. My personal favourite is the expression 'green-thumb' which signifies that you and plants seem to have a special relationship.

BLUE TODAY


Blue is a color that is all around us, from the sky to the sea. It is a color of calm and coolness.
In many diverse cultures blue is significant in religious beliefs, brings peace, or is believed to keep the bad spirits away.
I love the Blues but i'm glad im not feeling blue.

Wonders all around me


Some reminders of things that are around us and that we see everyday. Do you stop to take another look at the flowers? do you still stop to collect shells at the beach or is that only for kids?

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
( I Hope You Dance- Lee Ann Womack)

Salt Lake in the afternoon.


Salt Lake a suburb of Kolkata, is very different from the rest of the city. It has its share of interesting sights too.
Clockwise: See this: A street vendor shows off his prized cross-stitch design. Leaning against a pillar: as he writes in his little book. An old Horse-powered tram: so this is how people traveled before electric trams took over. ( this is a shop at City Center )
Tiger in the bushes: in Central Park .
