KOCHI MUZIRIS BIENNALE - PEPPER HOUSE

 "KEEP YOUR SHOES HERE!"

 The art installation by Hossein Valamanesh at PEPPER HOUSE

 Pillars of light and dark. The light/white pillars are illuminated by a narrow beam of light, which is the only light source in a rather big room in a colonial mansion - PEPPER HOUSE.

 Contemplations on the worship place, its complexities and perceptions in different cultures. Persian rug spread out in the overwhelming darkness of the room, under the dark and white pillars, represent prayer rugs.

 

The white and black pillars are made from voile. 

My favourite at PEPPER HOUSE.

Lock

The locks of our heart. Yes we need them to lock out self-destructive thoughts. The thoughts that wreck us. 

Just as I was struggling, with my own thoughts and its dangerous consequences which it was having on the way I earn my bread, I got a wonderful opportunity to be associated with a museum. A temple of our heritage where they preserve our tradition and culture.

The best of things that has happened to me so far. I get a wonderful opportunity to read about Indian spirituality, move around and talk with all the guests from all over the world who are very much interested in our culture and heritage. And above all, to take pictures. :) 

Shaky frames & life

Analysts say, why only Samsung could match Apples iphones, where as all other smart phone companies like LG, htc, Nokia etc.. could not even come closer. The reason they have found out is the rawmaterial supply chain management. Samsung like the rest of the competitor do not manufacture so many different styles of phone, they concentrate only on one model, say like, Galaxy II or III just like Apple and manufacture most of the components themselves like the chip, memory card etc, gaining on the internal mass production margins.

Come to think of being focused, I have been off the target of my life, pretty much all through this year. Still struggling hard stay on course. But life has been that way for me, all through, but it seems I have not learned my lesson, to  survive atleast for the basic needs. :)

Destiny
The beauty of the sun shine in your soul,
the joy that brings to the ones around you,
No matter how hard I try, couldn't accept,
it won't be you, but another flower,
tomorrow, sad that no one can add a day,
more for you or for me!

January

Elusive

Living life, like the way side flower,
Out of sight, out of minds!

It was silly of me to get the spelling of "delight" wrong in the picture. A friend's daughther.
