r.i.p

i can't bear you anymore..
instead of burning me inch by inch,
burn me as a whole..
i was born to photosynthesize..

...peek-a-boo...
...i am watching you...

now, i am shedding my skin,
as well as the melanin

...lost my identity...

in you, i see my past,
days have moved so fast,

...lying idle, but still have a company...

if we could see the miracle of single flower clearly,
our whole world will change...

and the glaring sun, is soon going to burn me out,
quench my thirst...
please....

I believe in GOD, i spell it NATURE

...i was better, when i was free...

i had been harsh on you throughout the day..
but its what you have chosen for you..
hope my absence cool-you-down enough to bear my tomorrow's anger..
..signing off for the day... tadaah...

Temples in Kokan has always been a tourist attraction. With time, the technique is also changing. Now a days its marble, granite and POP as opposed to rocks and limestone during the ancient times. Both techniques have their own beauty. Though, I like the ancient ones.

Green fields :)

Mhadkadevi temple, Kasarde, Talere
They say, if you pick up even a single wooden stick from this temple premise (knowingly or unknowingly) and try to move out of the place, you would keep hovering in the area until you throw it away. This temple is situated at a very remote place in Kasarde and is covered by dense forest from all sides.

Jejuri Revisited

2009-06-27T14:52:00.007+05:30

Living on the Edge : Two trees standing tall on the edge of the Purandar fort, facing the wind and rain with courage. The branches and leaves have forgot their original shapes coza the wind, yet portraying their beauty.

Man Udhaan Varyache : It was just a coincidence that i found a group of ppl standing and admiring the beauty of the area around Purandar fort. Cropped out the other ppl from the frame. Whats going on in his mind @ this moment??

This is the pradakshina passage of the bhuleshwar temple near Jejuri. Normally in any temple the entire temple is covered from top, whereas this one doesnt have a roof on top as a result the small gap showers natural light inside the temple enhances the beauty of the sculptures and the art work done on the rocks. Just look at the horizontal gaps created on the pillars carefully i have something for you related to it in the following images.

One of the beautiful sculptures from the temple.

This is the enlarged/ closeup view of the gaps created on the pillars.

my fav Panorama.. i saw them coming.. yea.. the monsoon clouds..

Small small art works enhances the beauty of the temple. This is on the stairs of the temple.

Every image has a story : You might be knowing wats behind this one..
