Red lamp...

'In the middle of the road of our life'
the attention advances & ignites
the balance
& the intuitive light
alive in any baby
not mere lucence
of places
& plants

Tricks with Light and Motion

I was just going through some of the old pictures I had taken. I came across these few aptly titled Tricks with Light and Motion.

Open your eyes...

In Vanilla Sky, Tom Cruise probably woke up hearing those words to find a naked Penelope Cruz or a naked Cameron Diaz with him.

I didn't hear those words, neither did I wake up to find any of those beautiful ladies in bed and naked! I saw the umbrella resting against a doorway and the amazingly soothing sound of raindrops on my window.

My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin why
'got out of bed at all.
Mornin' rain clouds out my window.
And I can't see at all.
Even if I could, it would all be gray,
but your picture on my wall:
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

Rain season in Islamabad

Its raining here! Amazing weather! I love the rainy season. The pictures are kinda dark although its around noon time. I didn't adjust the exposure because I want the viewer to get a feel of how it really felt like. You'll miss the details of the scenery but the focus is more on the feel of the whole environment! Enjoy that!

But for the first time I felt guilty of that. Post earth-quake scenario has changed a lot that is happening around. With these rains pouring down, it means the already flimsy routes to the worst hit area of Kashmir may disappear due to landslides. The weather is going to get colder and people who have lost their homes are exposed to the environment. It just makes you sad to know that so many people have lost so much.
