Stills from a Silent Saga

When you get bored of the hustling city and start finding the workplace over-dramatic, when the clock seems to tick as slow as a sloth and the sky doesn't show up any sunshine,
.
..
...
pack your bags and RUN!
P.S- Don't forget to carry your camera!
That's what I did over the weekend. An overnight journey from Bangalore and you reach on a land where there is sea, sun and sand. And so started the silent saga. Meeting new people, doting on a different cuisine, wandering over cozy empty streets, lusting over new finds and expressing gratitude to the sun. A feeling when you know that you won't run into any face seen before, instead you would see people with faces that never grow old, smiles that never wash away and spirit that blows with the wind along the seashore.

One good thing about going somewhere you have never been to, you can discover some great places by yourself <apart from the ones overheard or google-researched>
A place called L'e Space near M.G. road was one of a kind that communicated a raw yet soothing aura depicted some mysterious fluency- from abstract human paintings on walls and chairs to a Chinese kettle hanging right up your head, a hidden Buddha statue under the roof, a wooden bear looking at you from behind the leaves and many more that I am yet to discover in my next visit. 
P.S.- Lemme know if you find the 'hidden' Buddha statue in any of the pictures! :)

Loving the chair's back!
A broken stained glass frame becomes a back support of a chair. :)
Finds at various places- cafes, restaurants and boutiques. 

Sri Aurobindo's graffiti

Yes, I do love Pondy!

So, the last few days of the year ended with a charming experience. Have a happy new year everyone and if nothing else, resolute to visit plenty of new places this year. :)

Cheers

INTO THE SUN, THE SAND AND THE SEA!


5 girls. Handsome streets. 
Happy music.  Hippie encounters.
Hours of dancing. Sun-bathing.
Gazing endlessly at the sea.
Beachy affairs. Cheap shopping.
Cool sunglasses. Hand painted graphics and signage.
Super-saturated colors. Weather-worn surfaces.
Authentic shabbiness. Portuguese heritage.
Tons of walking. Plenty of clicking.
Loads of sunscreen. Resultant- Tanning! 


That’s what happened. Guilty to admit: my first ever visit to Goa. 
But, better late than never. Inspires me for a make-shift approach to graphic and design.
Sharing some colorful snaps I clicked around during the trip.

wish to be there again! soon!

Two days of Sunshine!

My mind anticipated and so I followed. A break to breakaway from the monotony. And I have fallen in love. I am in love with the sunshine! Sea, sand and sunshine was I could see. And I never felt so unbound before.






It is so hard to look at you,
But your warmth gives a pleasant feeling.
A feeling of unbounding my spirit.
Close to the waves, I hear the sound;
The sound of rejuvenation.
I go in a numb state of mind;
Where I care not of what I know not!
Where I care not of what I am aware of!
I cannot stare at you,
But I loathe your brightness,
I loathe not being with you.
And I loathe darkening under you,
Still, I have loved you.
And this time,
I have happily consumed you.
For my well being,
For your love giving,
I have cherished,
“The two days of sunshine!”
