Ramblings.....

This is where it all began.This pic...the single leaf and t riot of colors. From yesterday afternoon i was obsessed with this image of a single leaf lying on a bench...
i try to picture what lies beyond this perspective..A park..fall season..people walking around..
but everytime I get stuck at one point, who is it that took this pic? What was his perspective?

I can imagine the leaf falling of the bench the next second, a soft breeze disturbing this tranquility. Sometimes one wonders about the transient nature of life. I spend a lot of time thinking what if this happened or that happened.

One of the most profound moments in my life would have been watching the rain clouds gather from the terrace of my college hostel. It was an amazing sight to watch these thundeheads roll in and the breeze turning into a whirlwind...lifting up debris and dirt....the smell of rain quenching dry grass and mud....the feel of the first drop of water on your forehead....
there are no words to describe such moments one has to feel it and only then can one realize that nothing is more simple than the simple pleasures.

Chasing a thousand dreams one forget to live life. We forget that summer has become spring, rains have come and gone and the chill is setting in.

"..and then one day you find..Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun!"
- Time by Pink Floyd.

People run alright but they never know whether they are running in the right direction. The shift and change and mixing all leaves one disoriented and wondering where the hell am I!
