About Me

My photo
"I was a little girl, alone in my little world, who dreamed of a little home for me. I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves, and laughed in the pretty bed of green. I had a Dream That I could fly from the highest SWING, I had a Dream." lyrics by Priscilla Ahn

Vakratunda Mahakaaya

The color of Lord


The world in a drop ...

“In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans”
~ Khalil Gibran

Clouds

മഴയെത്തും മുന്‍പേ ...

Separated ...

Flower that fell from its home to the hands of a stranger leaf...

Dancing Lady

തെച്ചിപൂക്കള്‍

"അവര്‍ പോയാല്‍ പൂതം വന്നിട്ട് ആ മുറുക്കാന്‍ എടുത്തു മുറുക്കി, തെച്ചിപോന്തയിലേക്ക് പാറ്റി ഒരു തുപ്പു തുപ്പും. അത് കൊണ്ടാണല്ലോ ഈ തെച്ചിപൂവൊക്കെ ഇങ്ങനെ ചോക്കണത് ..."- പൂതപ്പാട്ട്‌ (ഇടശ്ശേരി)

പൂ പോലെ ഉള്ളോര പാദങ്ങള്‍ രണ്ടും ...

പൂ പോലെ ഉള്ളോര പാദങ്ങള്‍ രണ്ടും ...

മുല്ലമൊട്ടു മാല

മുല്ലപൂവിനും ആഭരണം ...
When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.
~Ansel Adams

Silence says it all ...


"Silence says it all ..."

I saw it in the face of the old lady... She looked as aged as my ammamma(grandmother), who passed away a few months back. That's why my glimpse suddenly stuck on her face, the way she staggered through the rushing crowd in the railway station at Kollam. We, 3 of us, were waiting at the entrance of kollam Junction when she walked by our side. Her white clothe was soiled, her hair unkempt, and she looked very tired on the hot sunny day. She halted at a small step and struggled to climb it up, when a young man standing by, offered his hand to help her step up. She waved her hand, not allowing the man to touch her. She didn't speak a word, just showed the gesture, climbed up the step with all her might, and slowly walked away not at all minding the sick hurry around her...

Why didn't the old hands take the young hand??
