Gangaur

-
Isn't it incredible that you can see another individual's Faith. Best thing about Faith is that Faith is never ending. It can never die or expire but it can definitely transfer from one person to another. That is the thing about faith,it demands to be felt. I am so glad that I could witness one such incidence. These pictures were taken by me on 22nd of March 2015. These pictures represents the Festival of Gangaur.








Gana represents Lord Shiva, whereas Gaur represents Goddess Parvati who is also known as Gauri. Gangaur is the celebration of Spring, Harvest and Marital fidelity.fidelity. Puja Thali, flowers, kajal, Sandalwood (chandan), Henna (mehendi), sliver, money, Sweet(Bhog) etc are the essence of Gangaur. Married women pray for the welfare and the blessing of long life for their husband, whereas the unmarried girls pray so that they get a good Husband.

   


Each Picture represents something that is a tradition which is followed by our ancestors since a very long time which is indeed very beautiful. It is good to know that there are still few set of people who even after being an active member of the World Renowned Rat race still find time to nurture and pass on the tradition to the next generation.

Outside the rims of morality, sanity and reality, there is a ground in the universe that is beyond time and space, I will meet you there. Where the day never ends and where the night is always fresh Where your lies won’t matter and my love will not fall short Where intentions and preferences are people  And where the only work to do is spread happiness Where humanity is a bit more human  And where everyone embraces your imperfections and flaws gracefully Where silence will be louder and actions don’t need to act Where nobody judges you or your ways Where everyone adores you for who you are Where curses turn to boon and blessing are given to all Where rainbows are not overturned and where rainbow resembles dignity Where scepticism, greed and pain don’t exist And there is no entrance for animosity Where you get coffees filled with passion and pursuit  And where everyone has their own sunshine in the veranda Where sunshine’s are nothing but pixie dust filled with benevolence  And where ev

In Frame: Shubhashini, Abhyarthana, Janice, Kira, Priyanka P, Priyanka A, Sheril, Dipali, Komal, Dhara, Jaivika, Anandpyari, Mihika, Ruchie, Swati, Dhruva, Sigma, Sneha No, you do not qualify in the standards of how and what the society describes and means beautiful. Some say it’s colour. Some say it’s figure. Some say it’s height. And for some, it’s flawless skin or hair. Some say getting married, others say lasting marriage, some say being a mother is beautiful. Guess what you are none of the above mentioned is true. Absolutely none of them. And till today it did not seem to be a problem because you were good at other things like being talented, independent, being courageous and kind most of all having a heart! Well, at least that’s what your parents said to look for in everyone else— to look for kindness, love, compassion and forgiveness. Until today when an Advertisement made you want to question about yourself— your looks and your confidence. When a TV actress you

Star Dust

Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  What if we are made up of the ashes and dust of the stars, And we are here on earth to learn how to shine, So that when we return back to nothingness, We know how to twinkle. And probably then we might realize that it's just the beginning of a new end.  Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  They say soulmates are made in heaven What if it's true?  What if soulmates are the ones that have some essence of the star ash that you were made up off?  What if you can only fall in love with someone who has an identical spirit of that star ash?  But then, in that case, why do we sometimes forget to live and love ourselves?  Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  And we just don't know it yet...  Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  Oh, what if it
