a cozy place for a cup of tea, Kyungin Gallery Insadong Seoul Korea Jul 2009



reading a biography of Obama wasn't a good match with the mood though.. :p











the tombs.. soon to be washed away to reach Ganga.. , Chennai Express India 2006



I couldn't figure out immediately why they made the small grave yard very on the river bed of sands
when my train was slowly crossing the steel bridge over the dried sand river..

However as I took a look the photos a couple of times more
after I got back from the travel to the marvelous continent
I started thinking that the local people in the province might try to convey the coffin of the dead
to Ganga, a holy river, with the help of current of the river in the rainy season soon to come at that time..

Franz Schubert..Die Forelle: Karita Mattila


Winterreise : 5. Der Lindenbaum



He comes to the linden tree, with its pale flowers and heart-shaped leaves. that stands at the gate; in the shade of this tree he has dreamt many beautiful dreams, and in the bark he has carved words of love. It was his favourite place. Now he passes it with his eyes shut, even though it is deepest night, but the branches rustle to him, 'Come here old comrade, find your rest here'. A gust of wind blows his hat off, and many hours afterwards he remembers the tree, and it seems to say 'You should have found your rest here.' It is a tacit invitation to suicide.

in pursuit of Indiana-Jones? :p , Henry Ford Museum Detroit Michigan Dec 4 2010


Very much rugged & tough appearance of engine and fuselage of the plane
immediately reminded me of the adventure series of Indiana-Jones.. :p

when India meets France.. :p, Pondicherry India 2006


exquisite.. elegance.. colours.. softness.. silky.. breezy.. light..

These are the words I could go with the place of Pondicherry..
once a French colony in the continent..

Some people might have quite different set of words when they have a chance to visit this small city..
.. different market segment.. high end cultural product, value pricing.. design superior..
delighting to find out some business opportunities.

Through the history of time
when west met east or when north met south
there were lots of struggles in the form of war, governance, and dominance etc..
however what I witnessed in here were
kind of desirable harmony and fusion of the two cultures for better life together.
