"The sharp knife of a short life

I've had just enough time..."


- "If I Die Young" The Band Perry


I see Beauty in many things. And like the ghosts that only speak to you if you notice them, they tell me wondrous tales. With my camera and my thoughts, I captured these as faithfully as I can to share with you. And by doing so, they gave me the reasons. And though the thousand reasons may not all be sweet and some indeed bitter; they are still reasons to live. Come to think about it, that is Life, isn't it?

The Sound Of Falling Leaves


I've had just enough time to...   listen to the sound of falling leaves...


Taken one chilly morning in the backstreet of The Rock, Sdyney


Leaves fall
The speed of tears
Smash the ground
Silently splash
Quivering echoes
Through silent streets
The Giant cries
Tears as many as leaves
Catching the mournful wind
Through skeletal branches
Till no more leaf is left to shed
Then deadly silence
Winter is here to stay




Sometimes you are sad. You may not be able to point out a single incident or even a number of incidents that are making you sad. They may have some effects but you know they should not make you as sad as you are. You are just sad. Stop looking for the reasons. Indulged in it for a while. A sad movie, a sad story or a sentimental song. Or a chat with an old friend, a long walk in the park, an evening by the sea. Do whatever works for you. Sadness prepare us for happier times. Just don't lay on It for too long. It may get so comfortable that you would not want to get up again.

  1. An early chilly morning in Sydney on our last day there on this trip. While waiting for the cup of hot coffee and ham cheese croissant, I walked quickly through the quiet back street of “The Rock” leaving my companion for a while, while I go hunting. I don’t know what I will find but I will know when I see “it”. I look ahead and side and up. I was feeling kind of melancholy (who knows why? – I don’t analyze my feelings, just feel what I feel) so I know I will shoot something that convey my feelings. And this period, I fall for leaves…
