Bold & Beautiful

I guess the title says it all. A soft hand wearing a bold colour, and the combo together, simply beautiful. The snap has been clicked while sitting in a car.

Innocence

This is my cuuuuutteee nephew Sukrit, known better as Wishie. Amazingly adorable, guess he's the only kid till date whom I love to play with. There's a story behind this click. Actually he was sitting on the bed laughing, and I wanted to capture that chuckle, but the moment he saw the camera in my hand, suddenly he got scared and stopped laughing. So, here we have, Mr. Wishie Singh (as his Dad lovingly calls him) in his most innocent look.

I rarely am able to click good snaps of people, depicting their emotional colours. So, this one especially means a lot to me.

Stop!

This is the first snap in which I've asked someone to really pose for me. The model prefers anonymity, so I can't disclose her name here. Coming to the snap, actually its a glass pane of a door on which she stuck her hand, as directed. Clicking was easy, its just the idea that matters.

Rhythm

Guitar... one of the best musical instrument. I always envy people who know how to play it, especially coz I donno how to play this one (neither anything else!) Be it a simple 6-string, or a 12-string, the music is always good to hear.

Taken at my sister's farm house, the hand belongs to a Russian named Maraat who'd come to stay there for some time. An amazing guy at the instrument I must say. What attracted me to click this one was the way he maneuvred his hands to give us the best rhythm to hear.

Solitude...

I was in Mehrangarh, the magnificent Fort of Jodhpur, when I clicked this one. Solitude, as is obvious, is the tag given to this man, standing all alone. Wearing a jodhpuri turban, he seemed to have been standing there only to be clicked. The beauty of the fort lies in its Jodhpur Sandstone, which is one of the world’s finest sandstone.

The present is a snap of a jharokha, a common architecture style followed in the desert districts of Rajasthan. This finely carved decorative window frame takes you back to royal Rajasthan, where kings appeared before their subjects on ornately decorated balconies. This large Jharokha is an example of the artistry of traditional craftsmen from Rajasthan. Their craft was previously meant only for Rajasthani royalty. For anyone who's not visited this place, I would strongly suggest... Its a must visit...!!!

Culture

Mehandi forms an integral part of all ceremonies and/or festivals in India. Since childhood I've seen my Mom, my Sis, and other relatives too putting mehandi on all celebrations. I kinda like it too, especially the way it beautifies the already so beautiful Indian female. The skin contains keratin which binds temporarily to lawsone, the colorant of mehandi. This snap was clicked during my sister's wedding ceremonies. Yep! Its her hand only.

Dream

When I took this pic, she didn't know it will be only her eye tht would be captured by my lens. Closed to the world, this eye sure is looking at something... A Dream! Someone said- never close your eyes upon someone who has his eyes open; but I feel that is the only way to look beyond what's visible.
