All the women who knew me well have complained that I am a hard hearted man and my allegiance lies with my family and nothing else. They also lament to the fact that I could not form a lasting relationship with anything albeit human or materialistic, it usually followed the lifetime of a fad. So, naturally, I didn’t have an idol, I didn’t have a favourite book, musician or car. I just changed it to suit my latest fad.
These fads are bought about by articles, books, movies, music and mostly images. Capturing a moment in time which can instil the whiffs of inspiration is truly magnificent. To me, it’s not the lighting or the tone of the image; it’s the characters the image tries to define. Here are some of those images
A clown trying to bring some cheer to children who lost their homes to the tropical storm Agatha in Guatemala. Reminded me that there is goodness in people even in times of turmoil, rather than what Stephen King wants us to believe.
Resistance: An image from the Gaza strip, taught me that its resolve and not strength that matters. A similar image would be Tiananmen square, one which inspired a whole generation
This image represented reality- the shocking reality of malnourishment in India. It broke through the walls of my comfy cocoon and put into perspective the harsh but undeniable reailty.
