A little wish from every terrace went up in the air on Uttarayan.

Every year on Uttarayan, terraces are filled with stories. But the most interesting part is when you start enjoying what is happening on the neighbour’s terrace. This bunch of people did a skype chat with someone and showed him the skies and ended the day with this beautiful lantern.

Nothing has ever been so crystal clear in life.

Absolutely fell in love with this shot from Pangong Lake, Leh.  While we were driving to the lake, I kept thinking of myself that the sky has never looked more beautiful. Once we reached the lake, I wondered to myself if there was anything more pure than this crystal clear water.

It was a trip filled with introspection, realisation and discovery of the self and the world that seems to reside inside the heart.

One lonely evening spent at the Sarkhej Roza,
I found this little girl enjoying the ice-gola.
I observed for more than 15 minutes.
She was lost in her own world of dreams.
So the cost of happiness and finding a
moment to get lost in memories was quite
cheap or probably did not cost much at all.

This day I dedicate to love, courage and endless efforts to keep love and myself alive. To a conversation that gave closure to many dreams, hopes and a happy ending to story that for the world has ended but for me is like the backdrop of my life!

Of memories

Of laughter
Of a tear
Out of fear
Of a smiles
Of a shot
Of a star
That was caught
Of a place
In my heart
Of a question
Unanswered
Of stories
That began
Of conversation
In ur head

(Two women enjoying the kites in the sky on Uttarayan – Walled City, Ahmedabad)

Uttarayan is celebrated differently by various groups within India.The festival is observed on January the 14th. Uttrayan is the name given to this day because it is when the sun starts moving towards the uttar or north. It is a holiday and is celebrated by flying kites and kite fighting. Generally men do the Kite Fighting while women hold the string or manja in a coil.

Yes today is the day we can sit and watch the sky
Yes today is the day when we can fly
fly – even if it means in my heart
fly – even if only you can see it..

Do you think the wind feels a bit different?
Do you think the sun’s a bit pale?
Is the blue of brighter than the other days?
Or am I feeling different?
