Sometimes I shudder to think what would have happened had Alice not fallen through the rabbit hole…

From my account @tone_inverte

He still remembers the golden light of the evening, when he and his friends ran barefoot. They filled the neighbourhood with their teenage screams- dust rose from the ground. He can still hear their ball crashing against uncle Sen's window. He smiled. They had broken quite a lot of windows around. But they took great care of the wildflowers. Purple and white flowers dotted the large field, each the size of a 4 anna coin. They were bewildering, growing on rocks- untamed, unattended. The boys never trampled on them while playing. As if those tiny flowers were a part of them- young, fearless, wild and colourful. He felt a tear roll down his cheeks. The field was steadily being covered with bricks. Steel, cement, iron and polished black shoes. Most of the grass was cleared off, along with his wildflowers. In a desperate attempt, he had pulled out a handful of the remaining to replant them in his perfectly manicured garden- a meticulous routine of water, light, manure and care. But the wildflowers didn't survive. #spi_collective #_soi #_coi #_woi #_streetphotographyIndia #vsco_cam #flowers #canonindia #litupshots #MyPixelDiary #natgeocreative #natgeoIndia #thephotosociety #yourshot_India #nature #instaaesthetic #photographers_of_India #Indianshutterbugs #ISBtraveller #YourShotPhotographer #india_undiscovered #igersofindia #vsco_India #vsco_girl #instanature #nammakarnatakaphotographers

I'm glad Alice fell into the rabbit hole. At least she gave us all a childhood. I've been looking for a rabbit hole ever since. Too bad I haven't found any. I've looked for them almsot everywhere- to my left and to my right, in about 100 yards from me and even faraway lands! I think I hadn't kept my eyes open. Sometimes there was too much sand in it, and sometimes, I just wanted an occasion to try on my new sunglasses. Occasionally, a badly rain-soaked route map comes up in my dreams, but I'm too scared to put it in my back pocket.

It was the first time he was given a set of crayons. The child happily reached towards purple. "No, use light colours. They look neater", came the instructions. "Careful, the colour should remain inside the borders"- yet another suggestion. In his head, he could see a purple sky, purple trees, purple flowers and purple people. "That's wrong! Trees are green and skies, blue." After all, he had to be taught the right ways of expression; the right colours of imagination. The flurry of instructions couldn't be slackened. #spi_collective #_soi #_coi #_woi #_streetphotographyIndia #vsco_cam #vsco_India #travelbug #ShotoniPhone #streetphotographyinternational #bbctravel #IncredibleIndia #natgeocreative #natgeoIndia #thephotosociety #yourshot_India #photographers_of_India #Indianshutterbugs #ISBtraveller #YourShotPhotographer #india_undiscovered #igersofindia #theartidote #filmphotography #photocinematica #theapricotmagazine #nammakarnatakaphotographers #bangaloreskies

The day was almost coming to an end. People were stretching, simply lying on the rocks and staring at the sky. They stare at the sky everyday. No novelty left anymore. But this simple lesson of staring up from time to time at the unchecked vastness, passed on to them by their fathers and grandfathers, have long helped them get through their lives. The movement of the sun, passage of clouds and changing hues mark the end of yet another day in the lives of these miners. In the long run it doesn't help much, but taking one day at a time is the key to survival, for them.

She had a lot of faith in those pillars. Although bent with age, and broken in places, both she and her house stood the test of time. Moss and creepers tangled the walls, held the windows and parapets in an embrace so dear, that it almost snuffed out life from the house. The creepers had beautiful flowers, though. She plucked them daily for a garland for her goddess. She didn't do it because she had an unremarkable ability to parody her misery, but she just felt assured. She was safe as long as the pillars stood strong. She somehow knew her house wouldn't let her down. After all, she was still the mistress of the house.

However small it may be, the light will always show you a path. It depends on you to overcome the shadows on the way. The light never fails. #vsco#spi_collective#_soi#_coi#_woi#_streetphotographyIndia#vsco_cam#vsco_India#travelbug#canoneos1100D#canonindia#litupshots#streetphotographyinternational#bbctravel#IncredibleIndia#natgeocreative#natgeotraveller#natgeoIndia#SpitiLife#thephotosociety#yourshot_India#MyPixelDiary#photographers_of_India#Indianshutterbugs#ISBtraveller#YourShotPhotographer#india_undiscovered#igersofindia#aesthetic#art

And somethings in nature, are more mesmerising with a change in perspective. Just remember, you are a part of nature too. Maybe, you need to shift your perspective too :') #india_undiscovered#thephotosociety#yourshot_India#iphonexphotography#flowers#red#streetlight#moonlight#nightphotography#ISBtraveller#natgeocreative#natgeoIndia#shotoniphone#photographers_of_India#instanature#aesthetic#blogger#aestheticpictures#IncredibleIndia#vsco_India#EverydayEverywhere#magnumphotos70#travelbug#photographyart#MyPixelDiary#ShotoniPhone

The street lamp patiently looked at the thousands of heads that passed beneath. It didn't complain. #art#aestheticpictures#instaaesthetic#photography#photography_art#indie#indiephotography#night#nightlights#lights#flowers#lamps#beautiful#india_pictures#igersofindia#instanature#nightphotography#iphonexphotography#IncredibleIndia#vsco_India#vsco_cam#visualgrams#photographers_of_India#natgeocreative#natgeoIndia#shotoniphone#instamood#naturelover#photoart#india_everyday #ShotoniPhone

TRUTH. CONTROL. DIVINITY. If I were to pose these questions before you, would you be able to give me answers? The liberal would say, there is nothing absolute, only relative, and hence, such questions are pointless. The religious would say, there is a fixed path to all of these. The magnitude of their devotion would decide their acceptance of the number of paths. The empiricist would ask me to create objective yardstick for each of these to enable an accurate prediction of their frequency, or other related processes. Does that mean we must give up on the quest of truth? Or give up on self control on the pretext of well being? Or they don't even complement each other? And will any means lead to the end that is divinity? Is there divinity? Some people, like you and me, simply tried looking for these answers. And they go somewhere. Ps- the usage of liberals, religious etc. is only symbolic to represent certain ways of thinking, and not absolute in any way. Also, no stereotype is intended. #vsco_India#streetphotographyinternational#spi_collective#_coi#_woi#_soi#IncredibleIndia#vsco_cam#buddha#buddhism#coorg#travel_India#india_undiscovered#thephotosociety#yourshot_India#canonindia#canva#photographers_of_India#photography_art#aesthetic#monastery#travelgram

GREATNESS. Amidst all the intolerance across the world on the basis of religion and caste and class and ethnicity...I can go on and on with the list, but instead I'd like to remind everybody, how unnecessary this all is. I'm not a Buddhist, I simply like their philosophy. But the primary reason why I'm posting this is because, Buddha is a metaphor. After the Kalinga wars, King Ashok was so moved by the bloodshed and death, he swore to never engage in warfare again and adopted Buddhism. Not only that, he also propagated the philosophy far and wide with the help of his children. Be it your Buddha or mine, the point is, a religion came into existence primarily with an intention to spread love, peace, and forgiveness. A religion has always been considered as a means to an end, the end being salvation. I don't know what normed salvation feels like, but to me, one is truly salvaged when one can be at peace. With themselves, and with the world. #IncredibleIndia#vsco_India#vsco_cam#streetphotographyinternational#Buddha#LordBuddha#monastery#india_undiscovered#EverydayEverywhere#photographers_of_India#igersofindia#nammakarnataka#nammakarnatakaphotographers#canonindia#coorg#travel_India#bbctravel_India#natgeoIndia#natgeotraveller#_coi#_woi#storiesofindia#peace#love#calm#flickrfeature
