One of my favourite parts of going to Cubbon, the central park of Bengaluru, every weekend is meeting the dogs there. It has now become a ritual that both sides look forward to.

But now since it is summer, they are napping half the time I am there. While I miss hanging out with them, I am glad they are getting a respite from the heat.

Whenever I encounter old abandoned cars on the street, I can't help but wonder the stories they hold.

When these cars were new, brought to their homes for the first time. How they were driven around the city, and taken care of, hopefully with love.

What led to them ending up on the side of the road today, and will they ever find a new home?

Many people might have a friend who are their go to person to create art with. This is mine, but its a little different.

While we often catch up to give each other company through our creative endeavours, we spend probably an more time supporting each other through things we don't want to do.

Creation through the process of elimination.

After moving into our new house nearly five years ago, a house where mirrors (huge mirrors) are installed right into the cupboards, this one has been sitting idle. Unused.

I have been unable to give it away, wanting to turn in into an art project. I clean it every couple of months to hold on to that dream. Someday I might do it, till then I shamefully walk past it everyday.

I have seen this photo over a dozen times since I clicked it, it makes me giggle every time. Nearly as much as I first saw it live!

But more importantly, I am in awe of how delicately the curator holds the humour, and their love for cats.

One thing that stayed constant through six years of being together is the morning coffee I get to make for her everyday. One thing that has changed is now I have a decent camera with me to capture these moments.

After a couple of years of iPhone photos, being inspired by people here and stalking camera websites I have finally committed to this one.

Let the journey begin! 🙂

There are some subjects that will always be hard for me to photograph, mainly because my jumpy personality scares them away instantly.

The butterfly is one such specimen, but this particular creature was still through all of my shenanigans. Maybe I interrupted its afternoon nap.

The yearly cycle of flowers colouring Bengaluru never ceases to amaze me even after all these years. And the summers are for bougainvilleas (amongst some others).

Apparently the British and German horticulturalists, who were in charge of Bengaluru during the 19th century, planted trees imported from around the world across the city so that Bengaluru blooms throughout the year.
