THE PARADOX OF ABSTRACT REALITY

I search for that artistic essence in everything; in water, scattered clouds, the earth’s muck, on wood or leaves that have fallen. By chance, I discovered these laterite stone blocks while building my home. This type of soil is abundant in iron ore, aluminium (bauxite), and various other minerals, giving the material a rich palette of colors. Some of the stones’ cross-sections resembled stunning abstract art pieces, and I found myself unable to resist capturing those moments on camera. Here are a few examples:

THOUGHT-PROVOKING FRAMES

“THE SIGN OF ALLAH [ Arabic: الله ]” I frequently find myself puzzled by how faith and fate are intertwined. Whenever I was short on photography subjects, something unexpected would suddenly present itself. It was on one particularly scorching day in India, as I was on the hunt for the perfect subject for my photographs. To my surprise, a nutmeg fruit dropped right in front of me, splitting open to reveal two halves. The vibrant red mace encircling the black seed gave it a heart-like appearance. Although each seed is unique, this one seemed oddly distinct. Upon closer inspection through my camera lens, I noticed an Arabic word that looked like ‘Allah’. Whether this was a mere coincidence or a figment of my overactive imagination, I can’t say. Regardless, I feel that the heart-shaped nut with the word ‘Allah’ inscribed on it was sending me a message. “THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS” The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage. Freedom is the most valuable treasure one can possess. Goals, desires, and principles are worthless without the liberty to chase them.

KOTACHADRI : ADVENTURE MEETS WITH DEVOTION

Kodachadri, situated in the Western Ghats in the Shimoga district of Karnataka, is undeniably one of the most stunning tourist spots in India. A visit to Kodachadri could be an unforgettable experience for nature lovers, hikers, photographers, and thrill-seeking drivers. It is located 1343 meters above sea level and is approximately 30 kilometers away from the temple town Kollur. The area is surrounded by verdant hills and is home to a diverse range of wildlife and tropical flora. The valley has been designated as a natural heritage site by the state government. The term Kodachadri (Kodachadri in Kannada, Kutajadri in Sanskrit, and Malayalam കുടജാദ്രി) originates from the Sanskrit words ‘Kutaja’ and ‘Adri’. Kutaja refers to a species of Mountain Jasmine flower (കുടകപ്പാല, Kutakappaala or Giri-Mallika) while Adri signifies a hill. The Kutaja plant also possesses Ayurvedic medicinal qualities. The breathtaking vista from the summit of Kodachadri peak is captivating. The peak can be reached via a challenging trekking path spanning approximately 9 to 12 km through thick woodland. This trek is designed for individuals in good physical condition and necessitates authorization from the forest department. Alternatively, it can be accessed via a 30 km off-road jeep route from Kollur town. […]
