Eyes - Anuja Chauhan
“The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter – often an unconscious but still a faithful interpreter – in the eye.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
I have always wanted to capture eyes properly. However on many occasions I have failed to do so. They were either blurred (A good portrait is one in which

If Kerala is “God’s Own Country” then Munnar is surely the capital.
The few snaps I saw of Munnar before the trip did no justice, I was unprepared for what hit me.
The first glimpse of Munnar was a moment we won’t forget, our jaws dropped, as we gasped at the

Sea view desk at Anjuna
I don’t mind working in a cubical, just give me a sea view…
A few days back on a lazy Sunday I saw this desk on a small cliff at Anjuna, and I wonder if I should shift my work desk here. As I sat on the chair, and kept my feet on the desk, I remembered the words “No man-made object of beauty can be compared to the simplest elements of Nature, for Nature is the true artist”. Needless to say the rest of the evening was

Fishermen at Palolem
My calm peaceful book reading at Palolem is interrupted by laughter. I look up to see fishermen joke amoung themselves. They seem idle, as some smoked a bidi, while another waved his hands in the air describing some weird scene, while others looked at him with crooked smile.

Priya Bhagra

I asked what future her smile is cast
“Not future” she said, “but the past, the past..”
We rarely look at the future and smile at moments we are going to live, but always reflect back at the past and smile. This snap is perfect for this thought. Thanks Priya for posing so well!
The past has so many glorious moments.
I remember the time when with very little money

“There is nothing more appetizing, caressing and musical than the sunset… and yeah its eye-catching too.”
“Cola beach?” said someone, “do you know how to get there”, as I sat sipping my coffee at the Chattai Shack at Agonda. I whip up my phone to search, waiting for the result, however the lady has moved on to the manager, who explains the path, including the fact that there is a good restaurant there which

Old man with a beer at Anjuna
Life is not complex, it just needs flavour, some salt and pepper, and yeah a pint of beer always helps.
Its just another lazy Sunday at Anjuna, at a small sleepy shack, which I have over the years liked spending time at. The waiters are lazy, but I am

Caterpillar on a blade of grass
As humans evolved, so did crisis. There are many of them and occur at different stages, and I guess some are normal, some not so….
- Identity crisis: Who am I? What am I doing?
- Personality crisis: I feel like a man in a woman’s
