Ramble in Tithal, a quiet sea beach in Gujarat

Life gives you...life and incidents. We choose whether to call them happy or sad experiences.

We escaped from boring life and choose to live with less income in terms of money but be more rich with incidents. Tithal is our first sole outing post arrival in India.
tithal is a normal town of India like any other town that is by the side of the sea. It though does not have typical houses of other beach cities like Daman, Alibaug, Karwar, Om beach etcetera.

It has Black sand, muds yet to 3 of us it gave our first relaxing week end. We just sat by the beaches from 11 O'clock morning to 7 O'clock evening doing almost ....nothing. We talked a lot, listened to songs sitting in our car by the side of the beach for hours. Brishti played with sand, collected live crabs to make them her pet. She carried them home too.

Our new asset, an used Esteem VXI proved to be a capable long run car. It is a fun to ride this car. It has quite an enjoyable engine and light body to accelerate fast. It is quite stable too having so low centre of gravity.

Here are some photos...

I love sea at sunset more than the sunrise. There is a deep feeling about the ultimate truth that we all will die and it can be lived so beautifully.


A regular Drongo. It allowed Jnui to go very close and get this shot. Being a point and shoot cameras it took quite a good shot. In daylight, small sensors get good enough light to compete for quality with big sensor brothers.



I leave so many unturned stone in my path that will always be larger in number than those I touched. I so, make contacts with passers by on the road, on the highway through hi, hellos. I do give my thanks to all the drivers (specially truck drivers) whenever they give side for me or give some space to overtake others. Life is so good when you drive....it is like leaving life in slow motion. Things past you fast yet with your concentrated view, they live with you longer. As if the whole journey happens in slow motion.




To me, it says a lot about life..that you live. You meet people, things, incidents. some you like, notice...some you just pass by. So are others for you.

Brishti is growing. I want to grow her in nature, with us, with the world. She has understood a bit what a world is by staying in three countries in three consecutive year. I want her to discover India, her country. Which is a dream work for me too. She is more mature than me. Actually, I can be in my childhood with her and Jnui.

It happens like this...all of a sudden you get an urge to jump, to run. You might be sitting, having a tea, but all of a sudden you feel like leaving the place then and there...for nothing. For nothing.

You want to be free, be with childrens.


Just before Sunset.

Some few only rise up, challenge a system...rest just flows.
If you want to float on time doing nothing, visit Tithal beach for one week end. Thank me later.

  1. Beautiful compositions!! I especially love the photograph of the lonely boy and the schoolgirls, where the half reflections create an unparallel effect.

Rabindrasangeet in 100 voices - Rehearsal in Chennai

 Rabindranath and his songs, Rabindrasangeet is every Bengali's colour of their culture, essence of their values. Chennai has many Bengalis living their life in a different geographical and cultural world here. A group of people, friends had taken an initiative to sing Rabindrasangeet in a group, a large group rather, counting nearly 80. They will sing 20 songs all together, once, on stage. To do this, with so many members to be in sync, they are practicing for months. This session is one of them.

KGL-Kashmir Great Lakes Trek

 Whatever you say, Things to do before you die, Bucket list, must visit places on Earth...Kashmir remained in all those lists, for me. Then, I have a book, name Witness, a photo book of journalistic photo of Kashmir, images of Kashmir troubles. Interestingly, which the editor of the book also exclaimed, that there is no image of Kashmiri Hindus being fled or extracted from Kashmir. With this complex state of visions, news, anger, frustration, religious bias beneficiaries one thing remain same and true to my existance, that I have to see Kashmir. And I do not want to see tourist Kashmir, I want to see Kashmir as Kashmiris see.  Their, my first step or plan you can say is to have a trek to reach deep inside of Kashmir, where Kashmiris are with Kashmir and themselves. Hence Kashmir Great lakes happened.  Images, I want to speak for themselves, only when I want to say something more of my vision, I have added some notes on top of those images.
