Project 365:Day 20, A Portrait of my Grandfather

My Grandfather…

Meeting my grandfather after a long time was an emotional experience. Old age had finally caught up with him. Watching him cry and laugh in the same sentence saddened me a little and made me realise that we had less time in this world to grow, learn and experience.

Soon the flower that once bloomed would wither.

The plant would still keep on living with another one ready to take its place.

Only the flower that would bear the fruits of its labor would live on to be realised into a seed and finally grow into another plant.

So what would you want to be?

Just a flower or the one that produces a seed to grow into another plant?

Project 365: Day 19, At Ellis Bridge Again

Ellis Bridge, Ahmedabad

The new bridges on both the sides buzz with traffic as the Ellis Bridge stands in the middle like a lonely silent spectator to the changing times. The first photograph about Ellis Bridge posted on Day 4 of Project 365 was made with a 50 mm lens. I wanted to capture the entire bridge in one frame so I went back armed with a 18 mm lens…
