This post is a first, minimum attempt at a portfolio, unprofessional as it may seem, of a culture; varied, beautiful and uncompassable, some values and traditions that I am terribly proud of. The richness of the diversity, the vibrance of the colors, speak for itself through emotions as subtle as a raindrop balancing itself on a leaf to as emphatic as an axe-kick during a tae-kwon-do spalling!

This is but a small attempt in bringing forth what a few camera clicks, the right mood and just the right smile can do to a simple picture, adorned with glorious jewels of the South Asian (Indian) Culture.

I sincerely believe, when one is at peace, when one is happy, the joy-sparks even though seeming ephemeral, are able to turn a smile into a grin spreading across the face, stretching from ear to ear. The eyes speak mysterious but beautiful stories, the waves tumultous through the locks of the hair as if rhythmic, the body glistens like tear drops. The smell of sandalwood fills up the room and in the fastest of the shutter-speed, you witness none other than, A GAZELLE, fleeing through the room.
A transient moment, turns into an EVENT!, never to be forgotten.

I am ready for center-stage… any takers? 🙂
