Sometimes the unplanned photographs are the ones that are captured the best.

Most of the snaps I click are experimental trial and error shots, decided on the spot.

On this occasion, we were at a dock without any plans to click snaps. Luckily I had my camera with Read More

Divar Island during rains

Divar Island has always been magical, but in the rains it brings out its best. The greenery is stunning, the fields have that hue of green never seen before, and the sky in “fifty shades of grey” ;)

The Drive during monsoon is pleasant, cool winds, rain, and swaying palm trees on both sides. A must visit during the rainy season.

The rebel

Quite some time back my friend Jonny made me listen to a preamble to “The river” by Bruce Springsteen, I loved it so much that I had been hunting for a snap to go with it. This snap of my friend Persy goes well with it (Thanks Persy for the pose). Below is the preamble, but before that, this Read More

The magic of Goa

I may not believe in God, but I do believe a higher power paints these landscapes, for it is foolish to think chaos can be so beautiful.

I stare in silence, as the magic unfolds in front of me. I don’t want to miss a moment of this. I know there will be people in this world who are oblivious of this, who will never see this. It’s a thought still stuck in my Read More

The little girl from Khajjiar

By its very nature the beautiful is isolated from everything else.

 

The horse ride at Khajjiar took us to a small farm high up in the mountains. Piles of haystack at one end and garlic fields at the other with small house in the corner. The view spectacular, and amidst all this a small girl appears and stood with a shy smile.

 

I wondered what life must be for her, isolated, away from the crowd, hidden away at the top of the mountain, no TV, radio. With the view of the valley far below and the tall mountains as backdrop.

 

Perhaps I should pity… perhaps I should be jealous.

It’s funny how modernization evolution and lifestyle adaptations take away something we crave the most… calmness.

 

My first visit to Agonda was a bit disappointing, it did not feel as exciting as Colomb beach, or Palolem. However a few days later I landed up on this beach to spend a weekend.

 

If isolation is what you seek, this is exactly where Read More
