Mohamad Thaqif Amin Mohd Gaddafi

Whispering, God asked him. Are you Thaqif?

The One who is intelligent?

The One who is proficient?

The One who is Skilled?

Thaqif : Yes my Lord, I am named so.

God: Why have you come home so soon my son.

Voice raised a little, God asked him.

What did the other children know that you do not?

And

What did you do that the other children didn't?

Thaqif: I made a few mistakes my Lord. I was naughty.

God: Punished till limbs mutilated black, torn off and life snuffed out of your fragile body. What could you have done to earn such wrath my child?

Did they not, your family, your teachers, your school, your fellow citizens protect you from this terrible, horrible and unmerciful act my child?

Thaqif: For my little misdemeanors I broke canes, the canes broken on me has broken the heart of a nation and so I have taken a beating for every child who is left to the mercy of his caretaker.

A caretaker who cannot love you as his own.

I have lost my legs, but the country has also taken a shameful beating and limping because of me. I beg of you to forgive them and make certain that they do not let such a thing happen to any other children again Oh! Mighty God.

God: Rest now rest in peace for you are the prophet that have brought awareness and change to those of whom you left behind.

You have lived up to your name my child.

GOD BLESS Mohamad Thaqif Amin Mohd Gaddafi.

And

GOD SAVE all of us.

Colours of a Peacock

Colours of a Peacock Nestled deep in an oil palm plantation in the humble town of Maran in central West Malaysia, is a century-old Hindu temple that rears peacocks. The peacock is considered sacred because mythology has it that it is the preferred mode of transportation of Lord Subramanian, who is also the patron deity of worship in the said temple. The peacock never seems to amaze me with its awesome coat of colours that it wears, especially when it fans out its feathers in a courtship ritual. What truly inspires me from this, is to appreciate the finer details of every colour application that exists around us. There is not a single thing in nature that is off colour or coloured in bad taste, it simply means that God has coloured everything we see meticulously with perfect design and taste. We are then, only left with the task to view, appreciate, replicate and occasionally write about it in absolution. EDit. This picture was taken during a visit to Maran Maruth...

Synchronicity (Video)

Eashwer Dass Synchronicity This is an experiment of removing the original soundtrack of three different Indian classical dances and replacing it with only one randomly chosen soundtrack. The outcome is quite amazing, it is almost as if there is an auto choreographic built-in mechanism that magically synchronises the two almost perfectly. EDit.

Two African Women Rebranded

NOT TRUE This is an awesome portrait of two beautiful women on the cover page of an elite fashion magazine featuring the untapped beauty of the African continent and her people. Both women are highly acclaimed professional models, bathed in the finest branded perfume, masked in branded makeup, wearing a fine collection of branded non-precious contemporary jewellery and cloaked in trendy summer wear. And that's just nonsense! THE TRUTH These two African women woke up this morning and promised that they would live life to its fullest as they do every day, as simply as they breathe the crisp Ethiopian air. BEAUTIFUL Dressed in their pleasant hand woven garb and donning local handcrafted colourful adornments wrapped around limbs and neck they set off to catch a bus into their local village town. EDit .
