Takdeer...........

Got this wonderful sms...thought it would be nice to put it here......Here it goes:

"Haaton ki lakeeron par kabhi vishwaas mat karna............kyoun ki........
takdeer toh unki bhi hoti hai jinke haath nahin hote................................."

Two Faced World.

From the time i started on this one i got comments that the message was not coming through...and true enough i had to explain the message 8 times that day....for a moment i even thought this work was a disaster....If you are still wondering what this means.....here's what was in my mind when i did this....

The world is full of two faced people...it includes all. You, me and every body. Two faced not necessarily indicate those people who pretend to be nice to you and are mean inside....

A Silent World of Chaos????

......coming up soon....................

Death.......does it affect us anymore???

Death.....its not that easy on the family of the dead.I remember the day my grand mom died. I loved her a lot and I know she loved me a lot too. She was gem of a person, a great cricket fan, an ideal grand parent. She used to tell stories, sing songs, make braids, and comment over the models on ftv. Everyday she, in a typical malayali attire with her socks and sports shoes, hit the walking track. Out of curiosity and fascination people from the complex used to come and enquire about her. She's the reason behind so many complex friends.

wild.......

hmmmm.......what can i say about this one.....got inspired after seeing bhakti work on trees, bushes and nature. Too wanted to try out one myself..........njoyed a lot..

Human Heart

Saturday, 3:00 - 5:00

Some of these are made while trying out the features of corel and photoshop.....while others with some theme in mind.

Do we respect our lives???

When we are born, we are ignorant of the world and its maya. We are introduced to our wonderful life by our parents- our guardian angels. They have been through with us during our age of ignorance and innocence. i am sure as kids each of us have embarrassed our parents in public through our tantrums! Of course we were young then and were not aware what its like to be in their position. In spite of this they love us from the bottom of their hearts. And all through the years our parents support us...our life. They feed us, nurture us, take care of our needs, guide us to have a wise outlook towards life, never asking us any questions or expecting a reward in return for love and respect. Having done it all and seen it all we can expect a lot from our youth but they are failing in their duties.

Few years ago I had a chance of visiting an old age home.

on this Independence Day...............

This independence day taught me a lot...... I don't know if i had ever felt like this..

Being a member of the school band i had always participated during republic day and independence day parades....but once out of school i don't remember attending these functions.... For the first time after school i attended this year's independence day function in our society. I always felt that u don't need to always show the world what you feel....like..one can hardly find me praying at home . I usually visit the temple only on special occasions like birthdays or if its a festival. It does not mean that i have less belief in god...In fact i am a strong believer....its just that i don't like to show it...for me to pray i don't need to go to temple but i pray in my heart..and i do that often...this made some think that i am an atheist and i don't find a reason to change their view about me...it dint matter to me....But now it does..... and this 60th year taught me.

My father is a usual participant in these events...but this year he could not so he asked me to attend it

pass a smile............

This perticular poem about smile is making rounds on internet. It came to me thrice!!!
I jus loved this one and thought of adding it.

Smiling is infectious,
you catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today
I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner,
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized,
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,
then I realized its worth.
A single smile just like mine,
could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,
don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quick,
and get the world infected!

out of experience...i have jus one thing to say about it......its powerful and its effective.

One more.............

Taken this smile image from flickr.com........a really nice picture with a nice message...

It cost nothing, but creates much.
It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give.
It happens in a flash and the memory of it lasts forever.
None are so rich they can get along without it and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.
It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends.
It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away!
If someone is to tired to give you a smile, leave one of yours.
For, nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none to give.

The special child of GOD!!!

I quit cycling this rainy season.and after so many years i found myself waiting impatinly for bus no 392. I was quite hopeful of reaching office on time.

But as expected 392 came late. It had always been late. I cursed myself through the impatient wait, thinking why I had my hopes on a bus which was never on time and even if it wanted to reach on time the roads or the seasons would jus not let it. Every few minutes of wait i thought of catching an alternate bus from main road which was jus 10min away. but i jus decided to stick to 392.

There were many people at the bus stop sharing my emotion or shud i call it frustration. but i found a child wearing a school uniform quite cheerful, playing around in the rain. His mother was accompanaying him. he reminded me of my school days...he seemed to be so care free..i wish i cud feel that way. Watching him i thought that it would'nt be long before his mother will jus drop him off at the bus stop and then finally he'll manage on his own from home to school....my thoughts were interrupted by 392...and i was more than happy to see it approaching.

my favorite ones......................

Jus wanted to do something.....and did this !!!

This one dedicated to my mother....photopaint again....

This was the first corel i did....so kinda emotional abt this one.................

my latest creations....

Photoshop is really the coolest....got this pic from flickr... but had to modify it a lot to get this effect...then i thought of conveying the msg of HOPE through this one.....ofcourse the words are not mine....hope u can c that dove in the pic....

Did this in GIMP editor by overlapping two images. I called this "Sacred flower". guess one of the best by me on gimp considering the fact that i was jus randomly trying out the features of gimp for the first time.

I njoyed a lot workin on this one...the actual pic was colored..... but i guess the lady looks more beautiful in grayscale and the beauty of her eyes still persist even after desaturating the picture...

Finally here.....

Starting a blog was on my mind for quite some time.....finally i m in...I thought of starting a blog after suggestions from my friends who were having a hard time reading msgs squeezed in to fit my orkut profile photo. There was a time when i used to put profile photos with msgs about cyber crime, pornography, child labour, and so on......I think it was received quite positivly by most of my friends as they always waited for me to put up the next pic with a social msg in it. but i guess that turned out to be quite a limited source of awarness...mostly viewed only by my frieends... Here i guess i would be able to share my thoughts with others.

Well i dont intend to dedicate this blog entirly for social causes but also as a way to discuss abt my creativity...which i try to hold on to by stealing few hrs frm my busy week...
