Enthusiastic, energetic and uninhibited in play… one of the many joys of childhood. Sigh!

‘Divine’ is one of my all time favorite pictures. It manages to instill a sense of serenity within me every time I look at it.

I remeber the seconds of hurry prior to this click. The temple was crowded and photography inside was quite difficult due to lack of light. People were seated here and there praying / pondering while many others were walking in and out.

I stood staring at the door, visualizing the clicky possibilities. I was still using a film SLR camera at the time and hence would not know if I got what I clicked the way I visualized it until later.

As I stood there muttering to myself, I saw a man seated in contemplation and the beautiful light coming from the door way and my fingers went jittery with excitement. And just as I was wishing for the other people around him to step out of the door it happened. It lasted only a couple of seconds before the dude who was seated got up and left… but it was enough.

Striving to get ahead, to be in the limelight, curious and competetive in an ever growing population.

Nestled in the arms of her Grampy my daughter put her hands out and paused as a cool breeze flowed in. It appeared as though she was feeling the air flow between her fingers.

PS: The craft store in the background ‘La Village Marche’ is an amazing little shop and a must visit.

I had to make multiple trips to Chennai and spent most of my time running around trying to get my visa work done. Somewhere in all that running around I was left with an hour or so of free time. I decided to hit the Marina Beach despite overcast skies. Walking along the beach and clicking pictures was exactly the kind of relaxation I needed. Sigh!

After a day of crazy weather due to ‘Hurricane Hannah’ the evening sky turned crimson.

Her favorite new thing to do is to crawl into her laundry basket and laugh gleefully when we try to roll the basket with her in it.
