May the force be with you :)


may the force be with you...last golden words from the Jedi master Yoda...concerned, as ever, if young annie would make it into the big bright world...young annie learning every day, every moment from the grid that surrounds him...tried to tell them so many times that it is not good to use kids to start a war...especially if the kids are not your own...! may the force be with you...the words still ring in his head...the gifted little one...wondering if there are any others like him...or as a query he wanted to ask one of the inquisitive cab sec types ones...sir aapne taare zameen par dekhe hain...given that the little one is in complete sync with matrix's AI God given around him...he knows the needles going in and out of his flesh and bones...just the way that his parents had tied it...sometimes he is at war with himself...to not only not say a word but also not think a word...there is completeness in his life and yet there is nothing in his life...friends come and gone...some millionaires...some gifted techies...every now and then a conflict within...what if...simply what if...he had more money...he had a starship...he had this and he had that...then that all too familiar voice from the past comes around and reminds the little one that there are boys and girls who literally string their lives night and day so that we can sleep peacefully at night...enjoy that freedom...given that we do enjoy a great deal of choice in our lives because they gave their yesterday for our tomorrow...maybe it is time to close the book conventionally...so many of our children have died protecting their own land in ways that even we cannot imagine...in consideration of the recent events...i'd say clean up the local support and don't let it breed again...back in the day it only took the administration thirty minutes to figure out who they were going to blame for that big apple and many other such events...in no small measure did they go all out to eliminate kids that were not their own but in their air space with ruthless intent...who they couldn't silence directly they setup left, right and center...so why not be the same...shoot first and ask questions later...maybe it is high time we followed that principle...no...? will the force be with them...in the afterlife...as it was watching them in this one...? a bit saddened...a bit silent...a bit of a warrior...and a bit of a Jedi...how o how to keep the peace without a war...? will they trust the clipper ships...will they understand the way of the force...questions to which young annie has no answers...not just yet anyways...likened the image to the ones at the super silent India house...so close yet so far...always around...always watching...always knowing...and still "hoping" that baccha ek aur baar pak ki bajwa ke aayega :)

A good visit to Kaziranga National Park [Rhino Land] - II

Image
Kaziranga National Park has four gates for entry into the buffer zones...the drive lasts about two hours per gate...and if you are lucky you will get a guide (gypsy driver) who is full of knowledge and will explain all the names of the birds and animals during the drive. The East gate is a bird watchers paradise...actually all gates are equally interesting...this time of the year makes it a perfect destination to visit as the river levels are low and the animals are in their natural habitat with full abundance. The brave rangers of Kaziranga that look after the wildlife round the clock...it is sad that there are still poachers in this beautiful animal paradise...needless to say that the rangers keep them at bay. Some general wildlife pictures i tried to capture with my super old Canon EOS550D with a Tamron 18-400mm lens...i would have loved to upgrade to a Canon EOS R7 with a Canon 200-800mm lens...however that combination is a bit heavy on the hands and my fingers were literally cramp...

A good visit to Kaziranga National Park [Rhino land]

Image
I'm NOT  a professional photographer...however during my recent  visit to Kaziranga National Park as part of my annual holiday i captured the below images. These two panoramas are typical of the landscape of Kaziranga...it is spread over 430 Sq. Km....vast expanses  of fertile land covered with silt from the river Brahmaputra...the river floods every year...all the animals are affected annually. This is a typical Bamboo built structure...in this case it is a restaurant...had some local chicken here...! A visit to the Orchid Park...a very nice collection of orchids from the entire North-East India...they have kept them alive and cultivated them through a lot of sheer effort...hats off to the local Karbi folks for thinking of such an idea and developing it. There was a traditional dance program at the arena next to the orchid park...sneaked in some photos :) These are traditional dances from Assam and North-East India...typically done during harvest time etc. The Tea Factor...

A taste of Freedom :)

  It has been ages since i took the opportunity to swing the flag around...this year just happened to be the one...many people post independence feel patriotic about this day...some feel like they can take their freedom for granted...me on the other hand...i don't really go all out in the colors of the flag...but I'm quite a bit nationalistic...quite a bit conservative...and quite a bit of a kid singing those happy songs in my mind...leading the  mind readers to their own "graves" in my own sweet way...best part is they don't even mind :) maybe they don't understand...the matrix is never meant to have all the keys to the universe in one place...they are distributed all over the place...and well hidden...some in plain sight...life has been one roller coaster ride...from those streets where they sold our lives for a dollar...to these streets where the grid is too kind and provides protection and affection...we are wary and we are aware...for it is not everyday t...
