Sachin Tendulkar - A Billion Dreams

2017-05-18T18:37:00.000+05:30

These days every time a Kohli or a Sharma walks to bat on the field we deep within try to see a glimpse of you in them. It's been a while since you have retired still we are yet to decide who should we chant for with the same passion as we did for you. The way you adjusted your stance, that little face of yours behind the helmet & the way you raised your bat every time on a milestone is so missed on television sets. You have left us with a void & you have left us confused. Today many of us support the Mumbai Indians since you are some how associated with them. As I write this I realise I have grown up with you & I have grown up wanting to be you. Sachin you were a dream for us, you were a reason for us to celebrate, you were our passion & you will forever remain our pride. However you have not realized how empty we fans feel at times, in a nation where we are short of inspiration in our regular daily life, you were our hope, you were something we all wanted to be. With you leaving the game we Indians are confused if we should celebrate the game or laugh at the fun this T20 provides. To see a straight drive is rare, too see that flick of the legs is rare. Big shots & short boundaries is what this game has ended into. Oh Sachin even those TV advertisements were beautiful with you. I so wanted that MRF bat all my life & I so kept drinking that pepsi since you endorsed it. It's just difficult to connect with the newer breed of cricketers. Debates will go on till this game lives but for me you will always be the man who taught me what pride is, what the actual meaning of passion is & what it is to see a dream & fulfil it. All this & much more is what I am expecting to see in your movie. People have been saying its a documentary, won't be that exciting and all. Well only I know what I am really waiting for. One more time & adding to the countless times I have roared... SACHIN SACHIN

Laye Hai Toofan Se Kashti Nikal Ke Is Desh Ko Rakhna Mere Bachon Sambhal Ke

2016-02-19T11:29:00.002+05:30

Laye Hai Toofan Se Kashti Nikal Ke Is Desh Ko Rakhna Mere Bachon Sambhal Ke, being true to these lines our freedom fighters would have never ever imagined the India we are in. Not being critical here but the kind of issues we choose to boil over are so so not required. Where are we even moving or what are we even trying to achieve.
Every 5 years a mandate is given by us & we then refuse to follow. Rather then celebrating democracy, we simply go against the rules of land & fight for things that hold no substance.
India definitely has a bright future & definitely dreams for one but how can these things be achieved if we continue holding on to things. Move on!

Take the classic example of our Prime Minister's frequent visits to foreign land, we kept arguing about expense, his clothes & even the food he eats. How many of us went deep down to discuss the issues he should address or things he should sort. It's India who has elected his leadership & the tenure, we rather focus on things he should be doing for us.

Lawyers vs The Media battle going on in the country is so hyped, sitting on the dinner table with my family & to see such issues makes you think is this how India is going to be shaped. Next day Sun rises & we move to our respective work & the India outside keeps fighting. Well patriotism has just remained a 10 letter word which arises in each one of us during a cricket match or a 100 crore movie based on Hindustan.

India, oh India you are way different from what I read about you in my school text books. I want to do something for you but then I don't want to dirty my hands too. (Pun intended)

Walking a path which someone already did.

2016-02-19T11:24:00.003+05:30

It will vanish one day. We will not even realize that it's all gone and there will be some people who will hopefully miss you. Love, ego, jealousy, achievements would all hold no value & then we will realize we were chasing wrong things.

One life... one dream... one race... many to compete... each having one dream to cross that finish line where there is nothing beyond.

To see happiness & worries in daily lives, to see energy & hopes break on faces. To see life together & unwanted departures, all this & much more just for a dream which is built on greed & selfishness. Attempts to enjoy moments in this selfies struck generation are so rare. A pic use to speak thousand words, today they speak the reality which does not exist.

How I wish I could churn this life of mine in doing things that would make this society better & beautiful. It all seems fine, it all seems new and yet we realize the path I am walking someone else already did..

Har Lamha Rahein Haseen

2013-03-15T15:28:00.000+05:30

This picture has to be one of the most simplest & untimed picture. Did not even think of going to this place & when landed there got a sight to one of the most beautiful & pleasant evenings ever. This picture might not completely describe the feel of the place but that evening was peaceful, soothing & there was a pleasant wind about the place. Such are things which keep reminding you that it is necessary to take a break from usual & just walk around to see the things which we usually miss noticing. One fine day this was possible.

DDLJ

2012-11-26T16:46:00.001+05:30

This image is a perfect example of how a particular landscape can remind you instantly of a set up of a movie. I am sure it does, well this is not Punjab & this is not even one of the film sets staged at the famous Yash Raj studios. This is my village in Gujarat where such a location is present. Only if Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge was shot here, more tourist could have been attracted & even more revenue could have been generated. Love this image for it's vastness, colors & the immense fragrance those crops use to spread. A perfect tribute to Bollywood's most celebrated romantic movie DDLJ

The Perfect Marine Drive

2012-08-20T14:29:00.000+05:30

Amazed. I was, looking at this pic for once I thought I can click pictures too, an amateur at the profession taken from my Samsung Ace. So love the pic not only for the way it has come out but also for the editing done on it. Let me tell you, this image did not have any rains in it initally, neither the sky was so romantic purple in color but I am glad the image came out just the way I wanted it. No matter how many times I have been to Marine Drive, it always keeps telling me there can be a better view of this place, there can be a more perfect image of this place. Till date this has been the best for me. Hope you think the same too. The best of this place is yet to come btw.

The Snorkelling Place

2012-08-11T12:41:00.001+05:30

It's blue, it's beautiful, it's peaceful & it's a dream destination to be at. Langkawi's Peluar beach which is famous for it's Snorkeling adventures is for sure a place to be when in Malaysia. The place is so clean & beautifully carved by the Gods that it make you stunned at the first moment you see it. The experience of playing with fishes, sharks & several other marine life is just not explainable. The place has a complete different charm to it, one which cannot be explained but just felt. This landscape is just a glimpse of it. A place like this makes you say "Malaysia - Truly Asia"

My Best Pic at Langkawi

2012-08-11T12:35:00.000+05:30

I so love this pic taken by me at Langkawi. What I like about it is, that it's not the photograph that has come out nice but the place itself was so beautiful that it made it perfect. More then an image it looks like a painting. One I always use to imagine during my school days when the teacher would say "paint a landscape students". The drawing of school days finally got completed after this very pic. Langkawi has some breathtaking landscapes & scenery but this one is by far the best among all. One also realizes that the famous action scene of the movie DON involving the Bollywood Badshah "Shahrukh Khan" & Boman Irani was shot here.

Welcome to Langkawi

2012-07-05T10:49:00.000+05:30

Some things are not bought they just come to you. When we left from India for Langkawi we were expecting out hotel to be simple & without any luxuries. However this image is exactly a perfect description of how the place welcomed us. The hotel Bella Vista faced the beautiful Indian Ocean & a breath taking scenery around. One could keep glaring at it all day. Loved this place.

Many moods of Marine Drive

2012-07-02T12:04:00.000+05:30

This place is unique & must have been witness of several stories of human beings who would have fought, loved, expressed, cried, smiled, sung & would have spent a time which one cannot forget. Marine Drive in Mumbai is one such place which you just cannot miss as every time you go there it has something different to offer you. The waves, sky, sun & peace provided is ample here. Keeping the various moods of this place decided to upload all these pics together. Many more pics of this place yet to come

Pink Leaves Lane

2012-06-07T15:58:00.003+05:30

A long stretch with a shade on top of you. A shade created by the intersecting branches & leaves of trees places opposite each other. Beautiful & lonely that lane was, once you walk from there you feel as if you are special & out in a different world. This thought struck me, took the picture of the lane exactly they way I imagined & gave the leaves a pink shade. A place as such may not exist really but for my imagination it defiantly does. Imagination, may be such a place does exist, have not seen all hence.

The National Bird

2012-06-07T15:53:00.001+05:30

Caged is it's beauty, it's freedom & yet it gives you a pleasant sight. Peacock may be the national bird of India many of them are caged these days for allowing visitors to view. This one was beautiful, had a brilliant appeal & made you think of how pleasing it would be to see it out in the open. The moment I went near to it to click a photograph it poked it's beak suggesting as if try & get me out. Most beautiful bird yet not preserved rightfully.

Water Channel

2012-06-06T12:11:00.002+05:30

Not sure what you call such a collection present around in the resort but it made a great sight & one could find such water channels every where in Aayus resort. One thing it made me do was take a picture as soon as I saw it. Must say was impressed with the way the motion of the wheel has come out very well even in the image.

Lord Krishna's Palace

2012-06-06T12:07:00.003+05:30

Huge, brilliant & golden that's what you see once you enter the resort. A huge palace made as if it belonged to the Lord Krishna era. The detail involved in it, the way the colors are given & the sun shining on it made it a perfect dream palace. It was just not possible to cover this all in one image. Hence tried to cover the most & do note this is an original image without any filters or edits. It's one of the most liked images on my Instagram uploads.

Lord Krishna - The Master Mind

2012-06-06T11:53:00.002+05:30

Weekend & as planned we friends decided to go to Aayush Resort near Panvel. Though I had been there before but I could hardly recollect anything about the place. As soon as you enter the place you are welcomed by this brilliant & epic statue of Lord Krishna & his horses from Mahabharata. Such was the power of the image that I wanted to cover it all in one click. Lord Krishna is considered a master mind of Mahabharata & this scene is considered to be a photo cover of the entire battle. Love the way the carvings are seen in this image.

Cricket can be beautiful too

2012-06-06T11:48:00.001+05:30

So one fine day as always we friends were playing cricket on Venus ground. The match became too one sided in our favor to even raise any sorts of interest. Fielding neat the dressing room I decided to make the most of the time I use to get with the ball not coming in my side. I asked one of my friends to pass my phone from my bag & took a quick click while fielding for the Instagram collection. Must say I love this pic for the quickness involved & for the clouds that kept staring our game of play.

Marine Drive - Be the way you are

2012-06-05T16:00:00.000+05:30

Whether it is morning or evening this place has some magic in it, it just lifts you up. Gives you that perfect smell which you want to take back home. Gives you that perfect image that you want to remember & gives you the perfect inspiration to keep moving on. I feel this pic describes each & every aspect of it. Just love the way how the sky has begun to stretch it's arm & given a perfect feel to the evening. Though I have not seen the very old "Bombay" but I strongly feel this is what it must have been. Calm, composed, relaxed & providing everyone an opportunity to dream. What do you say?

Juhu Beach

2012-06-04T14:16:00.001+05:30

When one is in Mumbai for a trip, he is always suggested to go to the place called Juhu beach. Not only for the location one is asked to but also because of the various celebrity homes present around this area. So being a Mumbaikar myself it was long I had not visited this place. So as again one find day during office hours we decided to go to Juhu beach & chill. Sitting there I could see how people are enjoying the sea even in enormous sun without the fear of a stroke. May be they were still feeling it was a pleasant day & hence I tried my best to convert a sunny looking beach into a beautiful evening with the help of Instagram filters.

The Instagram Race

2012-06-04T13:56:00.000+05:30

This picture is a result of my urge to get a pic up on Instagram featuring my bike Bajaj Pulsar. I wanted to take one while riding & this is the closest possible I could get to try & include my bike in it. The hint of hand that is seen in the pic is mine while on the rider's sit. Yes it is dangerous but the road that I clicked this picture is always empty, hence eliminating the risk to some extent. Not the best of pics but the effort involved & the speed at which I wanted to click it, it deserved an upload. Vrooooommm.

Love for the Sea continues

2012-06-04T12:14:00.002+05:30

It's one thing in Mumbai which has not changed & never will. It's mood keeps changing with everyday that's it. Just like me even my friend has this fascination towards sea. So one Sunday after giving our prayers to God, we decided to explore the moods of sea at Marine Drive. That's when I captured this image & gave it a filtered look. Sea, something which keeps inspiring you.
