I am a person who:
Is a seeker…
Is fascinated by rather insignificant things around
Might not wear too many colours but thinks colours
Inspired by a café as a space – a creative haven
Loves to spend afternoon in art galleries and bookstores
Gets satiated by heavy doses of art and culture – in all forms
Believes that intellectual seduction is not a farce
Is driven by cultivating the spiritual si
de
Lives a book, without even realizing it
Is in love, with no specific entity…just feels it all around
Loves to soak in the sun
Is just soft and lost…
As many others, I am certainly not an easy person to describe. An aesthete at heart (and sometimes at mind too)…who is not
familiarized with Art History or formal Art Appreciation YET!
I am blessed with extremely loving and supportive parents and a
rather endearing little brother, who is not so little now and much
older than me with his words and mellowness.

Photography:
Credits to my genes, support, motivation and opportunity provided by family and friends, my well developed and still developing Brain, and a wonderful tool – camera! The creative me motto : -
‘Art yourself’ and everything around you is a wonder ! Photography for me:
A photograph is about capturing the moment, and camera helps you do that. For me it goes much deeper than just capturing it, I form a relationship at the very second I click – whether this relation grows on not largely depends on my liking for it while it is being tempered upon by Picasa. I have used Picasa so much that when I hear ‘Picasso’ – for a second it strikes me as wrong. Looking out for ‘world capture(s)’ – makes me look within – peeking in the world inside me which is so vast – more than the world outside.
I have not had any formal training in photography – it has really been exploratory – just that this exploration yielded results which were sometimes greatly appreciated and my smile to myself soon infused some confidence in me – to make this photographic world of mine bigger than it initially was. The physics of it - in literal terms it is it - Photo (light) – I am not quite sure how far is the day when it is going to come naturally to me to be cognizant of all technicalities while I click – for now I just love to immerse myself in what I click. It must be quite apparent by now that I love to blabber on – particularly about me and at such spaces created by myself. However, I will consciously curtail the process right away – and let my pictures complete the remaining blabber…
