Shanti Shloka

15 days spent in Sikkim.
I went there in search of peace.
and I found it. In every drop of rain.
Mist that erased mountains.
In Silence.
In sunlight.

To yellow walls.
to our bodies that we underestimate.
To remembering divinity.
and the absolute.
and love found not in fingertips
but every thing that shimmers.

much much more later.
Sacred lakes, Monks, Peace, Art, Hollowlands.
Simplicity.

Glass Bead Game

shukri from the haalaki tribe in honnavar.
worked with her for a week.
we played glass bead games.
I took a black and white picture of her
she asked me where her colour went.
so I filled it in again, as promised.
(handpainted with inks)

Alice in Wonderland

"Still she haunts me, phantomwise
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes."

and if you go chasing rabbits, then you know you're going to fall.
I've decided not to trust words anymore. Just colours.
In between dreams
I see colours in my head.

no hues were added to the image. Just the contrast has been increased.

Now in Handcolour

bought Fuji photo inks
now you will see lots of hand done COLOUR COLOUR pictures.
