immortal debts

i heard a story today, about the trees like above.

in the life before of the two trees above.

the older tree owed a debt to the younger plant in the life before.

the older one couldn't repay it before dying.

so he payed it in this life.

by giving the plant some support to grow.

bandar aya.

on a very dull evening was just observing this small monkey family. really fascinated by this family. they live it 'free' for sure.

perspectives.

perspective. the way i look at things in different situations. the way different people look at it in different situation. perspective they are countless, the more you get to know the more you get to learn.

deep fry

the fire is the heat inside the earth, the bricks is the crust, the oil is the nature and the bhaggis are humans getting fried. one day ready to get consumed.

my first tripod

a quick tripod which can be made with a coconut n a fishplate of course.

let nature do it

wanted to record the marks of nature on material (still in progress).

kept a piece of wood in a termite hill for few days, the termite ate the wood in such a way leaving behind very interesting organic forms.

kept a sheet of paper with poster colours under rain for a while.

thinking 'roaming'

sit back relax remove your footwear, and think. Leave your body behind and let your brain roam.
