Its me and my world

I have grown some interest in photography. I have bought a Nikon Coolpix P90 megazoom camera. Here some photographs that I have clicked with it !

Pain and Love I had once asked Guruji "Why is there so much pain in love " ? HE had replied "Only Knowledge can alleviate pain !" A very small question and an equally small answer for the uninitiated , but those who are on the Path, would understand the infinity that it conveys ! True, that spirituality brings to you the heights of bliss, joy and love , you can experience the atoms of love you are made up with, and yet at the same time, the path is fraught with challenges of emotional disturbances, heart aches , frustrations, disappointments and so on... It is that much polarized and perhaps it is designed that way so that we can go through this cathartic experience to enable the Knowledge to blossom on a ripe soil.. Yet when the small mind takes over the big mind, then nothing seems to work.. all that takes precedence in the consciousness is the utter frustration , hopelessness and loneliness.. Any kind of duality is painful, there is nothing more pai...

A different Ganga ! The river Ganga - the most sacred river of India - is pretty familiar with me :). I spent good 3 years in the city of Varanasi while studying graduation at BHU. (Benaras Hindu University). A river has a life of its own, driven by the people living around it and also independently. If you are sensitive, you can tune in to that life , can communicate with it , find solace in its company :) I was never a very religious person, so when I first landed up in Benaras, I had a hard time accepting so much of religious activities going around. But even amidst so much of external pomp & show, there were a few things that did touch my heart like the aaratis on the bank of the river or the smell of chandan and flowers in the ghats. The Gadoliya (means the twilight between day & night) ghat is one of the most famous ghats of the city. More than this ghat, I used to be fond of the Assi ghat which was closer to my university.I have spent countless evenings in that...
