I hope everyone is staying strong and safe! My own eulogy would have been different. But I lost my uncle (brother's father) most recently. I tried to express what he felt and how he would want his son to think of him now that he's gone. Always praying for a better life for wherever he is now.
Literal Translation: He who works eats, he who doesnβt work, eats, drinks and sleeps.
FUN FACT: Diamond Harbour was frequented by the Portuguese pirates. Thus, the site features some ruins associated with the pirates.
I hope you enjoy this time-lapse.

"Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.β β Aristotle, Greek philosopher -The work in progress- Ink has always been a medium I wanted to explore.

[Monitor beeping....] [Muffled breathing...] Her body fell into a deeper abyss. Hey eyes felt jaded. She fell into a deeper state of trance. Could it be all the anesthesia that made her feel this way? From the infinitesimal peek between her eyelashes and skin, she could see a faint image of her parents. They looked... Continue Reading →

That was a beginning of my love for the South Indian creations. They are more content driven, touching and definitely leave a hangover. If it wasnβt for that one evening of crazy, I donβt think Iβd ever truly enjoy my first experience of a south Indian film.
|| Just like the sun and the moon, one a star, the other a large mass of rock and dirt, people feel connected to one another despite of their differences. They say the first impressions last. I say they are judging too fast. See how the unknown merges into the known. Love is tangled in... Continue Reading →
It's hard to lose someone. You imagine you will never get over the pain. It will hurt less someday and you will survive. As irreparably broken, gutted, hollow as one may feel, it does not kill you. While it may feel as though a dementor has sucked every last hint of happiness from your chest, you will have days where you think of them and you do not cry. There will even be days you smile while you remember them. Be thankful for those days, which fend off despair like my personal little patronus charm. I know that is what they would want for me, and how they would want to be remembered β with love and joy instead of pain and tears.
Remember, when the peacock struts his stuff, he shows his backside to half the world. - Herve Wiener
The older I'm getting, the more I'm failing to understand how emotions work. That ex who is a father of a child, still confesses to you being his first love. That friend with whom you were so close knitted with, now barely a like on the Gram story. That long distance with whom each second... Continue Reading →

Way before we were in a situation of learning more in crisis than in comfort, I came across this moment I captured a few months earlier on my way back home from work.

The 27 year old me wanders. Being lonely wasn't just what I enjoyed. It's a solitude I found after being out there and being let down.
