Surreal Photo of the Day
June 1, 2012

Surreal

Have you ever noticed that there are so many things that attract and distract our attention…things in life that consumes us and a lot of our time, energy, and attention? This all leads to tiredness, exhaustion, and people desire peace and quiet. But though it may seem strange, people often avoid quietude, dread a quiet […]

What People would Say

You are in an elevator with your colleague of a different floor, and he doesn’t say hello, would this bother you? You can’t understand why he doesn’t say hello. Has he done something to you, or you to him? May be it’s because he is troubled with family problems, and he’s too engrossed to notice […]

Elusive Silence

How do you want life to be…very calm, peaceful or adventurous? How many times do you want to shut your ears as easily as you can shut your eyes to experience silence completely? And, would you want to do this to feel peace? The world is never devoid of silence. We live faster and faster-paced […]

Checkmate

Once Isaac Asimov said, “In life, unlike chess, the game continues after checkmate.” Think about that. There are so many times I thought I am doomed, with nowhere to go, and life seems to be ceased. But then suddenly I realize that I am still going on. Trying to do new things, to build life. […]

Childhood Photo of the Day

Childhood

Everyone loves childhood, cherishes it…except children I guess; they can’t understand the value until they’ve grown up, but by then, it’s too late. We do, don’t you? Though we grow older, we keep a child’s heart hidden within us. Does the child in you crave to come to the surface? Do you know how many […]

The Pleasures of Eating

I love food. I love food to such an extent that it almost feels like a guilty pleasure. George Bernard Shaw said, “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” Do you believe this? You don’t have to admit this openly. You read health magazines and perhaps your room is a mini replica […]

Beauty within the Season

Winter evokes beauty, yet it is also the hardest of all seasons. It creates mayhem. Haven’t you felt the bite of the frozen beast and realized what it means to be alive? But again, the beauty lies in the beast. That may be the ever-debatable topic. Is the feeling of ruin evolving in to the […]

In Your Inner Self

Everyone has a house of their own. No. I am not talking about the physical house with bedrooms and living room, where you stay in. I am talking about the house you posses in your inner self. Surely we all have one. Don’t you? We have always inhabited it, our own little realm. It doesn’t […]

Backstory

Poverty has an adverse effect on people of the world, and for a child, it can be gruesome. It happens every day, though. You can find it everywhere around you. Can you feel the effect of it upon you? I recently stumbled upon this photograph, and it made me wonder about the backstory of the […]

Rhythm of Life

Life is not always a road of potholes. Don’t you feel it? Everyone is looking for his rhythm to keep going. True it is for us living in urban places as well as those living in areas devoid of any modern luxuries or accommodation of life. Life goes on for them also. They find their […]

A Sense of Calm and Harmony

What do you look for in this turbulent world? What is your most desirable requirement? Where can you find peace and tranquility? You still remember there is a higher authority. That same sense of restlessness and destruction makes us so anxious that we forget to look at our true needs. We just keep flowing away […]

The Dark Shadow

Every one of us keeps ourselves in a self-drawn circle…I have one…you also have one…haven’t you? Do we have time to look around and to look beyond our self-implied circle? Life has become like that. For everyone. Like there is a dark shadow hovering over us. We are trying our heart and soul to run […]
