Rear View Reflections

Rear View Reflections

If this is the view (the picture) you see every time when you take a peek in the rearview mirror of life then, you will not have to worry so much, because the world you live in, seems to be moving in the right direction.

The comparison of a journey we make in a vehicle and the one living our lives have remarkable similarities. They can provide us valuable lessons in managing dangers or simply avoiding one altogether.

While driving, what you see in front of you is equally important as being conscious of what’s happening behind the vehicle, so just to keep accidents rightly as a non-existent statistic.

As much as we would like to move forward to charter new territories, there should be an equal vigilance on the hind side.

Painstaking initiatives should be taken to keep the world in the same pristine condition as we received it from our fathers and them from theirs and hand it over to our children and they theirs.

Therefore, if the reflection you see is similar to the picture, then it is proof that your world has been handed down through generations without distortion. Edit.

Pictures from Colombo, Sri Lanka

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 .
