Where I belong

I belong to a place where three oceans meet.
A place where water is so sweet.
I belong to a place cradled by mountains.
A place where pleasures so vast spurt like fountains.
I belong to a place of field so green.
A place, land barren are not seen.
I belong to a place nestled by forest.
A place where you can peacefully rest.
I belong to the southern tip of India.
I belong to Kanyakumari. 🙂

An evening out alone on the streets of Ahmedabad. Lots of stories to tell.

Inspired by People. Exploring new places.

No matter who you are…

A triangle can poke its way into a bubble.

 A circle can roll out of trouble.

A square can side equally everywhere.

No matter who you are, You can do something.

Inspired by experience. Discovering new dimensions .

‘PAN’TASTIC EXPERIENCE IN GUJARAT

*viewer discretion advised : No pun intended, only PAN intended.

Gujarat , or should I say the ‘Vibrant Gujarat’. The state of King of the Jungle, yet to give notable soldiers and officials for Indian Army, where men like Mahatma Gandhiji and Sardar Patel were born. Where has the reign of brave Gujarat gone!.

Well, as observed they have moved to business. They are so into business, that even to oppose the reservation system they demand reservation and call it Inflation. Among others,  design institutions and betel (Pan) shops are sky high. Enter any street and 10 bucks says you will find at least one design institute and a pan shop. Imagining it will only make you feel horrible, so save yourself the pain.

Gujarati’s obsession with pan it what made me write this post. Few quotes to make it easy for you to understand:

1. Gujarat has a shortage of pani (Water), but is never in short of PAN.
2. Most liked movie of Gujarat is Peter PAN.
3. When Gujarati’s don’t get PAN, they get PANic attack.
4. When they buy a camera, the first picture they take is PANaroma.
5. On Birthdays Gujarati’s cut PANcakes.
6. They only document they hold is PANcard ( I have a PANcard with PAN )
7. The most used cooking utensil is a frying PAN.
8. No wonder their lucky number is PANch (5)
9. Their dream tourist destination is ‘PANama’.
10. They buy clothes only from ‘PANtaloons’.
11. They are thinking of changing their state animal from Lion to Black PANther.

Here pan sellers have parlours and mobile shops. You can’t take way their birth right,Tobacco !. Sellers don’t advertise their shops with banners and posters and paints, rather they use Warnings (they are very truthful, I’ll give them that ) . Here is an example.

Thanks for reading the article, now for your ears, some PANjabi music.

Lost in crowd

We are all lost in some crowd. A crowd that insanely follows wealth, fame and many other things. Hopefully we all will find ourselves even when lost in the crowd.

Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to paint and post it.
