Visuals from My Life


So well, today, I thought, let’s post some pictures. Photographs that I clicked or were taken by others and mark a particular experience or event.


This one was taken when my friend, Nandini and I were obsessing over some coffee.  We tend to go a little bonkers when we are together. Some times in creative ways, like this one.
















That is a view of my room. I don’t get to spend much time here, but this little den of mine holds a special place in my heart. It induces the feeling of being ‘at home’, if you know what I mean.




Teenage times. Phase when it was a lot about writing, music, poetry, dreams about future. Ah! Wasn't it one time when we thought the world was our own! Haha!




Some stuff I did to my cupboard in the name of creativity. I like it. It's music, come on!



Kodaikanal. It was a beautiful 2 day trip with a handful of friends. In between scorching summer times, a little trip to a hill station is really helpful.

While boating, in the lake at Kodai. The pictures were taken by my friend, Spurthi





Kerala. My stint with Champakulam for about 7 to 10 days was very memorable. A quaint village. A beautiful place with its own culture. It was a very special period of my life. We were studying a church and a residence and Kerala architecture and history related to it. It was a beautiful one month. Fond memories of spending an entire month in the campus when the rest of the students were off for the winter break. Working in the studios from morning to evening. Analyzing if I may say so.
The evening tea (occasionally coffee) breaks. The great weather of Trichy. Funny the fact that we are given holidays and sent back to our houses when Trichy has good weather to offer.

This picture was taken by my friend, Giri.


Pondicherry- When we had gone to watch the sun rise. Talking about Pondicherry, the place holds a special place in my mind -with its culture, people, architecture and the innumerable stories about Auroville. Man, it’s one of its kind places I have been to in my short life.



Heserghatta near Bangalore.  


From Tanjore Palace.




It’s a majestic building quite close to my college. The Tanjore Brihadishwara Temple.We go there once in a while.It was a lucky day 2 years ago when my batch mates and I could witness a Bharatnatyam performance at  the temple. Could watch only for a few minutes, but it was something special. The moonlight, flood lights, classical dance with the backdrop of Chola architecture. Beautiful!




Something fun that my friends and I did in Taj Mahal.



Beautiful, aren’t they, colourful bangles!



A beautiful place that goes by the name Hauz Khas village. Would like to mention the good times (once with each bunch) I've had with Mayank, Subro and Satta, Tejal and Swati, Nisha and Harish.





A place I've been accustomed to in the past 3 months. A beautiful place. Amidst the Ayanagar crowd and ever-maddening work (that could qualify to be exaggeration), this soothes the eyes and the mind, each day,every day.





Beautiful weather at the Qutub Complex. It was a great day.



A picture taken in Ooty last year. We went in search of a site for one of our college competitions.We chose the Toda community of Nilgiris. A one day trip, but definitely very special for I was born in Ooty and  I must confess that visiting the place after almost 7 years leaves you with too much nostalgia. And I saw through my eyes how much a place can change over a course of a few years. (Photographed-not by me)



Rain, believe you me, is one beautiful phenomenon. It can turn tables when it comes to some people’s mood. Well, it's almost intoxicating in my case. A view of the roads from my studio in college. (National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirapalli)









This post is an outcome of good mood or rather a mood for nostalgia. Please don’t mistake it for an attempt at photography. I believe photographs are a way of keeping records. Like a diary. Photos serving the purpose, visually. And they are handpicked from pictures I have stacked. It’s a post by a hopeless romantic who finds a photograph of a bunch of bangles beautiful. So well, that’s the kind of stuff you can expect from me.
