SUNSET AT SANGAM – MY PLACE IN THE WORLD

| Subhash

Where do you belong? In the hustle and bustle of a big city or amongst friendly faces in a small town?

The place I want to be is the closest to nature – rivers, oceans, lakes, mountains, forest, wildlife, trees and park. As a personal choice, I would prefer to avoid crowded beaches or places and prefer more calm and serene one.

The immense peace and solitude it has to offer beats the daily hustle in life, takes away all your stress and negative feelings, rejuvenates you and it helps in reflecting your true self and leading to discover a new you, almost always.

The sound of the sea waves, the chirping of the birds, the pitter-patter of the rain in the roof – all helps to shred all your worries and anxieties. So I feel no place in the world is better than the lap of nature

These pictures are from Sangam, it is a confluence of 3 rivers, Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati in the holy city of Allahabad. It is also the place where the worlds largest human congregation takes place called the Kumbh Mela – around January and is visited by millions across the globe.  It is believed that a bath in the Holy Ganga river will wash away all your sins and this is what the Kumbh Mela is all about. If you have not heard of it then you must read more about it here.

The place is otherwise not crowded and busy, there are stretches where you can certainly sit back and enjoy the sunset. Seen here is the bridge over river Yamuna and was taken from a boat ride.

Boats lined up after the days work is finished, these are mostly used by the tourist.

Ascend

| Subhash

This is my version of ascend of a building, birds flying high, monument, the leap of the squirrel and the hard worker laying overhead cable – can you judge the height.

I leave it to you to decide whether its ascend or descend but I like the pics taken using my mobile.

Keep ascending in your life – in all aspects of it.

SCALE

| Subhash

Every time I participate in the WPC I say to myself that I will not use the same theme or concept as in the challenge, but the mind is so designed that it gets aligned to what it saw and thinks in the same way. Psychological effects and study of the human brain.

Coming back to the post, here is my entry for the challenge:

JOY WHEN WAIT IS OVER… AFTER A LONG WAITING

Image | | Subhash

The squirrel waits desperately looking for his friend and see how it blushes when finally they come close, always beautiful and captivating to be in the nature and capture these moments to make your story. I wish waiting for everyone comes to an end at this same note.

Where do you go – leaving me lonely

Reunion times are the best – nothing else is required. Just see their expressions and the love.

STRUCTURES

| Subhash

Structure – sometimes ignored and at times overrated, but they always add an amazing element of beauty around us.

Here are some of the pictures for the WPC theme structure.

How can the structures of flowers be ignored.

Spider Web – you always find a new and fasicnating and beatuful design. Appreciate the way these creatures design it so perfectly.

Finally a structure created by humans, the top of a dome from an ancient Mughal era building.

Have a good day and stay blessed. Love you all 🙂

Satisfaction

| Subhash

Satisfaction for me is somewhat related to passion, the more passionate you are for a particular work, hobby, game, activity the more energy & enthusiasm you put in it and completing it gives you a bigger sense of satisfaction and rewarding experience, esp. to your internal self – more than any material gain. If your passion is your work so you can reap even material gains and you do it with your 200%.

I love telling small tales – So once a person was asked – What do you do for a living?

The answer was, I spend time with my family, love to do photograph, cook and eat food. Out of curiosity the person asked again – I mean, what do you do to earn money.

Oh ok, I work as a consultant but that’s not what I would call living. At the end everyone does not end up doing the work which is also their passion and that’s fair enough. You can do that as a past time activity.

As for me the most satisfying feeling in the world is the quenching my thirst with chilled water, the blessed feeling I have after it. It goes up-to my soul. Then there is my passion for photography which makes me happy. Spending time with family and watching your kids grow up is another feeling, who needs anything else in the world 🙂

Feeling of Satisfaction is very important in life and nothing should stop you from completing your work with quality and precision until you are satisfied – that’s the connect with passion and sense of satisfaction.

Here are some of the pictures which co-relate to the passion and the satisfaction behind it

Bridge

| Subhash

Bridge

For me bridge is something that provides a connect between two physical or imaginary things, they might be living or non-living. It takes you back to time – so a song is a bridge in your life.

Here are a few pics for the bridge theme, hope you all will like it
