I never know, it is sun-set or sun-rise,
They tell me its west and so is sun-set.
I never know, its sun-rise or sun-set,
They tell me it is east, and so is sun-rise.
I never know, if it is east or west,
They tell me its west where sun sets.
I never know if it is east or west,
They tell me its east where sun rises.
I never know what is the difference,
They tell me the next-one is,
Different from this earlier.
I never know what is the earlier,
They tell me, that which is gone,
And is no more was earlier.
I never know what is next,
They tell me ...,
What will come on later is the next.
They keep on confusing me, my mind.
'But how ...?
I myself have to find out now....!

Pareidolia phantasmagoria

Pareidolia phantasmagoria

A bit strange, but yesterday morning I captured 6 pix of a hazy cloud. Usually I have tried capturing such pix and they do resemble some mythical figure, and could be interpreted by every-one according to his one's own fashion. No one can claim how far his / her interpretation is near the truth. Yesterday What I saw was a well-defined but somewhat hazy outline of a figure which resembled so many pauranika things. When I saw it and as it is there in my mobile still there, from different angles, it looks like a शंख  conch, a गदा mace (gada), a वेल vel (spear), a  कलश kalasha (vase), a पद्म / कमल  padma (lotus), a  सीपी (shell), a हँसिया sickle, and a पर्ण / पत्र  (leaf) or आँख / नेत्र  (eye). Initially I ignored it, but when it stayed there in the north-east direction in the sky, I could resist no more and captured it. It stayed about 20 minutes. I copied it on 'paint', its not a copy of the pic. but my drawing only.
This is how our conditioning molds our orientation of mind according to the culture we have been brought up through. Being born and brought up in India /Hindu society and family, I could see / detect these various imagery. Had I been brought up in another culture, I would have interpreted in quite another way, I think. And yes, I also see a बाण - 'arrow' and a धनुष  'bow', a  खड्ग -'khadga' (Lance) ...

Still Art.

Beauty and Horror stun me!

Beauty and horror stun me!
still flowers,
leafs and fruits, ...
still art often stuns me,
like the beauty and the horror,
of watching a baby,
born of still birth.
