A Golden Morning

Not the very first time in this blog, I'm telling about the weird stuffs I do. Guess what, I did not sleep last night. This is months or may be years after the last time I did it. But this time there was no cause. But purpose is a tricky thing. If I don't have a purpose, what's the use? To freshen up, I looked out of the window and rushed to the terrace. Well of course with camera.



It is nothing new to see pigeons during the sunrise. But this time the models for my 'light-painting' included Crows too. The crow family in the backdrop of 'soon to be red' sky is may be one of my best photographs in recent times. And also, I was satisfied enough to have a peaceful sleep.

The 'Leaf-Lock'

Reading too fast may provide undesired pronunciations. Whoa! I didn't mean unwanted results. they can be good too. Sometimes that happen in Photography too. A faster shutter speed may convert a normally flat view into a serene feel or may be a lust for gold.

We reached Kaushani just before the sunset. But the disheartening clouds just ruined the expectations of viewing the setting Sun. But a man who has been on both sides of the table in the corporate world, thinks of 'Priority' even in his sleep. Priority to me on this trip was Photography. Why of course the statements made by my teachers made a sunshine and the dull sky turned golden.



The creator made a beautiful earth. But as my father says, he needed something new that could appreciate what he has made. Hence, he created life, the most controversial creation being Human Beings. Who doesn't feel happy to see a newborn; be it human or some other form of life?



Things were going well until the creator realized that his greatest creation, the human beings have started to claim the newborns as their own creation. Who could be calm enough to let go such disregard and unfaithfulness? He gifted us 'Disease'. But since he is the ultimate creator, he has all the right to make the diseased look beautiful.



However, since the creator is an artist at heart, he couldn't just ruin his own creation. Perhaps, he followed Gandhigiri and started making things even more beautiful. Whatever the humans do, they can't help appreciating beauty.



Getting locked in leaf actually felt good. Read it faster or slower, 'Leaf- lock' is a good thing.
