>Photo of the day – A Pure Bliss

Grey wagtail at the shores of a beautiful lake

Spending idle time sitting along the lake, listening to the recurring sweet music of the small tides in the lake hitting the shores, the trees making sounds because of the breezy winds as the birds also chirp.. a pure bliss.. we keep longing to experience such an atmosphere. The more we experience, the more we are attracted towards it again and again. Man might have invented millions of interesting things but nothing can beat God’s creation of beautiful nature.

Photo of the day – The ultimate support

>

 

A small monkey vehemently looks at the people, while the mother climbs the tree, assuming a threat from the nearing people. 

I don’t think anyone would disagree, if I say that mother is the ultimate support for anyone on this earth be it a human being or any living creature. It is something that never breaks or vanishes; something that we all hold on to in our toughest of the times; something that is guaranteed to see us through. 

Just thought I will add this thought too from a friend Sushil (Comment in the same page) :

“I think defining/expressing what mother means to someone is impossible, its something which can be only felt. Priceless.”

Another busy morning

The drive on NICE road, Bangalore early in the morning will be an enjoyable one. With the recent findings of small outing places around Bannerghatta area, there have been regular drives on this road.

It is strange, isn’t it, how small things like this suddenly make their presence and value felt. Recently with the food inflation going high, everyone has been talking about the vegetables and prices. Probably only during this time, most of us realize, what all vegetables mom brings home. The other day in one of the hotels or some other place, I heard a person shouting on someone who dropped a small bag of vegetables.“Do you know the price of this?” In a way I feel it is better, once in a while such a thing should happen where everyone starts valuing smallest and cheapest of the things. It can also be a campaign for food saving. 😉 

>Photo of the day – "Come to Me.."

Come to me, and I will give you rest!

Some people say they get peace of mind; some say, they get their wishes fulfilled; some say, they get their problems solved;  few say they can come out of their “insecure feeling” zone; everyone has their own reasons to go to the doors of almighty and pray. It looks terribly strange to the atheists, for sitting and praying and believing in something that doesn’t exist.

Do you believe in God? Have you faced a situation where, you felt there was no way out and the only way was to pray? Do miracles happen all by themselves or they are the results of intense prayers? There will be a question bank around this matter but answers can only be mere speculations. End of the day, I believe, it is up to the individuals, and it should be respected by each other.

>Photo of the day – Latest Addiction

>

Grey Heron sits on a small rock in the Manchinbele reservoir, near Bengaluru

Bird watching and bird photography has been my latest addiction. I have never got up early in the morning to attend the classes during my college days, but there is a very little struggle nowadays getting up early that too on weekends for the most exciting thing of bird watching. I didn’t know that there are more than 300 species of birds sighted in and around Bengaluru. I’ve been exploring a lot of places for birding. It has been going good. 

Watch out bangalorecaptured.com for all the birding places in and around Bengaluru. 

>Photo of the day – "The Waiting"

>

A girl standing at the edge of a water fall seemed like waiting for someone

The hell broke loose; the surrounding turned turbulent; standing on the edge of the death; the wait seemed never ending, for her.

Waiting is always an exciting thing when it comes to waiting for a special occasion; or waiting for your dream job or dream home or some materialistic attraction. Waiting can keep one on the other extreme too. When one waits for something (or someone) that never seems to come back, the waiting puts a lot of anxiety in the person. Knowing the fact that a thing will never get back to you, have you ever waited? How long can a person wait for such a thing? Is there a threshold? Doesn’t life take you along and eventually break the connection between you and the wait and set you free?

If you see, we always wait more desperately or eagerly for something which we lost during the course of life than for something which we never owned(but have a wish to own)! If we weigh the importance of something which we desired to have, it is weighed more only before receiving it and/or after losing it.

>Photo of the day – "I am not a philosopher"

Today for a change I am posting one of the photographs that my friend Lawrence shot. All the credit for this wonderful photograph should go to him. I personally liked the pic a lot 🙂

While I am posting photographs and writing few thoughts around them, few people have started thinking that I have become a philosopher. Nope. I am not a philosopher and I don’t deserve to be one. I have just lived a small part of my life so far, so I can think and write only from the perspective of the stage of life I am in right now. I am yet to see more of life, yet to gain a lot experience, yet to learn a lot from others. 

Looking forward for more of life  (Photo Courtesy: Lawrence Mesquita)

I am trying to relate few thoughts with the photographs. The photographs are really not taken with any thoughts associated with them. The thoughts are attached to the photographs after they were clicked. When I looked into my archives, I found the photos are dead without any story associated with them. So I started  putting together the photos and the thoughts. I am also glad to hear that a lot of people have liked the way this blog is going. Thanks people! Your encouragement will keep me clicking more and let the thoughts around them flow.

btw, my friend has given me an image which makes my Travel Blog look perfect now where the title, caption, image and the content, all of them fit together the best. Thanks Lawrence!
