Coz, they don't give a tinker's cuss



 

Coz, they don't give a tinker's cuss
Take a look at kid's clothing, they would eventually be reduced to a faded and tattered pile of rags within no time but just hold them up for a while and reminisce on how much delight they would have given you as especially their lingering body odour. 

Imagine the struggle that these fabrics would have tolerated against the best detergents available in the market and more than often lose the battle to come out clean and spotless. Definitely, a little more seasoned and a shade of colour loss from the rude tumbling of a heavily soiled pre-programmed wash mode set on the washing machine. 

Just think of the little bodies these apparels host, the bodies that least care about the type of clothes their mommies or daddies buy them. No matter what type of clothes these little bodies are wrapped in, be it branded or a one picked up from the flea market on a bargain, its origin or history does not bother them as it does adults. 

This is simply because, for kids, clothes are only meant to be comfortable in, or used as their personal washroom, or as a napkin, or to puke in. 

Most of all they just use it as a rag to clean the whole world rolling around in them and maybe it is with full comprehension and knowledge of what the world really needs, that's all! EDit.

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 .
