innocence

Udaipur, 2012

windy afternoon.
raining silent memories
rusted strings of swing

imagination ripens
clouds form the castles

enveloped with innocence

I was going through some old photographs, and found this. Wondering how fast kids grow up, and it's a blessing to watch them grow with a loving heart.

As I  write this my heart goes to my friend’s six months old son who is going through some painful procedures  in the hospital.  I just hope he gets well soon.

Contemplation: my way

work-in-progress, contemplative moments, Gurgaon

 

I was almost clueless when some new ideas emerged. I dipped paper napkin in gouache, dried it, and then I tried to find myself in pen and ink. Some truths revealed, some patterns formed, imagination ripened revealing wisdom of the soul.

Delightful morning-
I understand the patterns
in raw expressions
~~payal~~

Talking to myself

Gurgaon, 2015

I stand in front of the mirror,

Take a deep breath,

Smile,

And wrap my arms around me.

Talking to myself,
I say it often,
Ah! I am aging gracefully!

Period.

Truth and lies

Ahmedabad,2015

 

Do you trust me enough?

No matter what I say,

You’ll hear my words,

In your own sweet way.

So, in this simple game of life,

Leaving it all aside

Let’s live our truth

and leave behind the lies.

It's day 22 of #OctPoWriMo  

 

engraved

2015, Goa

 

Standing on the foothills

Of the Western Ghats

As they open the pages of

A dream diary

Their eyes begin to speak

in the monsoon.

 

fallen leaves

 scattered here and there

gave an impact of the storm

that just passed by.

 

 Waterfall

flowed through

the rocky surface

 as they engraved their love

On the stone.

 

An old tree became witness.

Clouds melt

and kiss the earth

as if to applaud

their sizzling chemistry.

I stop, pause, and reflect.

The time stops.

Sao Joao- 2015

 

 

Marking the feast of St. John,  this festival of Sao Joao, is celebrated  retaining its’ traditional flavour, on 24^th of June every year.

 Getting drenched in the festive spirit, it's time for fun and frolic. 

Caranzalem, Goa, 2015



With colourful coronets of lovely flowers and fresh leaves on their heads,



Headgears made of seasonal flowers and leaves

Villagers take a plunge in wells and ponds. From the depths they find the gifts. 

Sao Joao, Campal, Goa,2015

Goans in festive spirit , Caranzalem, Goa, 2015

All people, young and old, sing and dance to the tunes,
welcoming the monsoon. 

 

Happiness galore!
 Goa is not all about beaches, it's about simplicity, culture and tradition.
