Tour De-tox




Dream Team

In a dream one night, there was a blurred vision of a swarm of butterflies zooming in from a distance, which then gradually transformed into hundreds of agitated moths approaching rapidly towards my face.

Up close, these deadly looking moths turned out to be miniature airborne stainless steel razor sharp surgical scalpels with minute wings rapidly flapping, propelling them forward.


Just like miniature attack helicopters, they were mounted on and operated by tiny animated angioplasty, stents, which were the pilots flying these scalpels.

These pilots were strapped with little backpacks which had unreadable labels sewed onto them. The entire event seemed as if it was a scene from a digitally animated cartoon.

Meanwhile, my mouth was frothing from being forcibly kept open by a nickel plated dental contraption making my oral cavity the passage for these little mounted metallic winged vermins to fly in.

These daredevils critters whisked through my congested oesophagus, with a flight plan to rendezvous at an unannounced locale within my anatomy.

A half-hour later, these tiny infuriating drones flew out of my severely traumatised gob carrying their little backpacks filled with an obnoxious bloodstained yellowish jelly-like substance.

They looked like an army that went into battle inside my body but came away not totally triumphant.

The combatants sustained casualties as some of the winged scalpels returned without their pilot stents, which meant that they went down fighting bravely and were now buried inside me.

Just before they flew away into oblivion like how they came in, I managed to get a glimpse of the writings on their backpacks. 

It was now clearly visible because now they were filled with the despicable matter earlier. 

The display of those very words almost gave me a heart attack as it read IJN.DREAM TEAM.

The acronym which was in the Malay which meant that it was the Flying Squad from the National Heart Institute.

Abruptly, I realised that I was given a coronary overhaul by the IJN's flying surgical crew also known as the dream team.

Its said that dreams sometimes portray a psychological revelation embedded in the subconscious.

Meaning that the vividly scary visit from the IJN dream team was to warn me about my lackadaisical attitude pertaining to my lifestyle, diet and physical fitness, and believe me, I did not need a psychologist to analyse that.

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 .
