Sightseeing



Seeing
History
I slowly
Realise
That I'm
Also
Becoming
Part of
History






Best

You are
Your
Best
Friend

Nobody
Else
Can be
Your
Best
Friend

As you
Know
Yourself
Best -
From
All of the
Rest :-)


(The 1st Sunday of August is celebrated as Friendship Day, and so I wish all my Blog readers a Happy Friendship Day :)





Life

My son
Was once
Photographed
By me

Now
He's
Grown up
And indulges
In Photography

Theme: Cycle

(based on the maxim - history repeats itself...)

Poem written after observing my 14 year old son clicking snaps in our garden





Working

Come
Rain
Or shine
They keep
Working
All the time

Who?

The builders
Building
Houses of
Yours and
Mine

________

Theme: Labour

(thinking of the daily wage earners in India who keep slogging to build palatial homes, shopping malls and complexes; working day and night, moving from one construction site to another, making those unfinished structures their temporary homes till their completion, and then moving on to build new houses and high-rise buildings. In a way, they are nomads, living a nomadic life, shifting from one building site to another, with no permanent home.)
