Journey never ends, it moves from part 1 to part 2. Behind each house there was a kaccha pathway for all people to reach the road which connects to the NH, and this is also the rain water-way during monsoon. As I told, various kinds of water bodies as it is a super rich rainfall […]

Travelogue
It used to be pockets of villages nearly 30 to 40 years back in north kerala. Mostly a self sustained community resided in each pocket. Those who were outside this circle, used to be same as current metro population, depending totally on global goods. Since living was tied to a community, many aspects turned sacred, […]
All Jingles
Our greatest teacher is our just previous mistake, if we admit ! But kleptomaniacs or white lie hoarders have less to do with this concept. For them, what could be the definition of living? What’s the previous looted stuff. Was that useful or what would be my next catch? What’s the pot of prefabricated lie […]
taboo death
New facade is, why nobody openly talk about death?!!! When a person dies, there isn’t any change physically which we will see (other than decaying which happens underground or ashes which leaves bones, not a pleasant sight either way)!

That moment is very precious as you are your own support. Reflect someone good Reflect someone wise Reflect someone kind […]
organic vs inorganic
Bangalore is going to be a dead city and then its already dead revelation brings all growth tags it received to fade. Let’s try to distinguish various kinds of growth. Organic When we live close to earth, we get what we need from earth. Earth and thus soil has some kind of power to keep […]
An Ugly Knot
Solutions to issues are not always linear. There would be various breaks and pauses and again move ahead, may be a round about way to reach perfect solution. On a tree, a beautiful tree I would say, daily I see a knot, created by a spider. Wind, heavy rain, heavy sun none could get it […]
