The Journey, the destination....

I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within – Lillian Smith

At this juncture of my life, I call myself a keen amateur photographer, a wanderer and a strategist with a big corporate house in India. I first realized my passion for Photography when as a kid I was standing at the confluence of Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean in Kanyakumari. Standing at the edge of Vivekananda Rock I was staring at a huge orange ball of fire setting slowly in the Arabian Sea. I wanted to stop the moment right there, but alas! The clock ticked and the bliss passed by….

Years later I chose Still Photography as a means of pausing the rare moments in my life and immortalizing them forever. Through this blog I intend to share with you all, some beautiful moments that had touched my life in some way…

I will be pleased if even one of my stills can make you see through my eyes and feel the moment.
Enjoy the blog...

Soon I'll post some more interesting frames that I managed to capture during my stay in Uttaranchal...

The Tea Gardens of Munnar, in southern India

Road to Munnar is thrilling, exiting and scenic. Often at sharp turns up in the hill will take your breath away when it engulfs you in its misty clouds...the greenery is amazing and has a calming effect on the mind...
