Such small “dingy”s floating around deep into the sea waters is a common sight in this part of the world (Chennai to be specific). You go to any beach anywhere in Chennai & you can see numerous such boats venturing into deep sea hoping for a good catch. With no proper safety measures, even no proper boat to sail in, these fishermen spend their entire days searching for a bountiful of fish to earn their living.

Birthday is a day which comes once a year for each one us. We plan for the day, get loads of wishes from our loved ones, cherish the gifts we receive and mostly end the day partying with friends or family. This day signifies many things; we’ve grown a year older – we’ve consumed one more year from the total amount allotted to us – we’ve managed to live through another set of 365.4 days – and many other sundry thoughts.

I went through all these feelings and many more. After all, it was my birthday today.

Man has created parallels for everything; giving up to his never ending needs. As I shot this from a moving train, I realized this “duality” for which even mother nature hasn’t been spared. The photo in a sense reflects a contrast between two sources of power; first being the never-lasting reservoir of energy, the Sun & the second being the man-made electric power source. Both are co-existing in this world in perfect harmony.

This is the season of paddy sowing in Kerala. Rice being a staple food of the state, you can see it being grown in vast amounts all over the inner parts of Kerala. This is the apt time for planting the paddy seedlings since monsoons would be hitting the state anytime in the next 2-3 months.

We were cutting our way through the lush green city if “wayanad” in Kerala, when we came across these ladies sowing paddy in one of the nearby fields.

Kerala is the only part of the country where I have seen this “compact” form of the Church. I can actually draw a parallel between these small churches in Kerala and the sporadically spread small temples all across Tamilnadu. At a distance of every 500 odd meters, you can find one of these dwarf churches standing as symbols of faith for the most widespread religion of the world. It is really amusing and fascinating at the same time to see such beautifully painted buildings scattered everywhere you go.

A long lonely road, penetrating deep inside the thick woods, vanishing into nowhere. I dont know what lies ahead, I have absolutely no idea where it will lead me to, I am not sure what I will come across once I start treading it; but still I decide to take it on and prepare myself for the pregnant future.
