2013

It's been a hefty start for this year of 2013, got a bit into those haphazard highway trips however insignificant they are though. The surroundings are always aflame with frequent public protests all over the country.  The protests were mainly against the war criminals of 1971, who assisted in mass genocides during our liberation  war,  would be a crime not to share some pictures obviously.

In the mean time before raising my vocal chords, there I was getting plunged towards coxs bazaar, the blue skies and the lazy sun. Quite an escape from the busy streets of Dhaka !

 

 

 

The Curious One

There was a cricket match being aired live between Bangladesh and West Indies right at Dhaka during the last world cup. Although in big screens but that didn't stop people from getting festive!

The never ending Saga

Well lets be honest here, it's been a year or more since there was a post in this abandoned wall, but still everything has it's reason and so does this blog, so here's a blast! The vehicle ( Locally called VanGaari) can carry quite a payload compared to the flimsy rickshaw character it depicts. Neverthless lets hope the guy made it to his destinations , after all the stuffs do look like charged cannons in the streets of Dhaka.

ANOTHER DAY IN OBLIVION......

Went to doc just to hear that I'll be taking in those awesome steroids for another 2 weeks. So you might ask how does that feel? Feel what? I really don't think I feel anything anymore. Have been buzzing my head off in this room for the last one month and I still can't get out of this quarantined state. Did some writings though.
While on the way towards the hospital I had to encounter this kid 6 or 5 years maybe, who suddenly started cleaning my car with his dirty napkin, obviously for money but at least it's better than begging. Which reminds me of this kid

He was selling toys in front of the institute of fine arts. He wasn't interested in those toys, rather he seemed worried about his sells. Maybe he had to take care of his family? If he couldn't sell enough of his toys they'd go without food for that day. Who knows? So many stories in this city of dhaka. While I'm stuck in my room fighting Leocytoclastic vasculitis!

Leocytoclastic Vasculitis!

    Phew! Again after a long loooonng break I'm finally infront of my blog again.Now as you can see the title says something gibberish but that's what I've being diagnosed with recently. For the last one month I'm been fighting against this severe allergic reaction which eventually went so bad that I had to get myself hospitalized.  I thought I was gonna get quarantined! Still I'm not back into shape though, those steroids are really making me go psychedelic.  

   Everything has their yin and yang, therefore while I was in my bed I finally gave a thought about one of my unfinished projects, writing a graphic novel. Maybe it'll see the light within this year being an avid anime fanatic so this isn't accidental.  

          Life is drifting so fast that sometimes we really don't understand how fast it's going away. The best ways to perceive it is to get out of your track and actually watch it from another space.  Take a break may be? Being sick in my bed made me realise 'bout the decisions, that I made 10 years ago. Let's see if they materialize someday. Trading them for a job would be live selling myself at eBay and that's not happening for sure.  If following your dream means suffering then throw it on dude!
About the pictures, the first one was taken during Pohela baishak(bengali new year), rest of two are from my study tour in asia

Journeys....

So I was thinking about all the expeditions that I made in the last 2 or three years. Do they actually do any good for us? I don't know, depends on the point of view though. Contrast being created between the life in a city with that of outskirts. Our negligence from ourselves might have triggered this. It's good to dream though, you might live in chaos but a sudden impact of silence will make you exhausted in the same manner.
Being an art lover(whatever that is) I do think of moving out of this chaos once in a while to synchronize myself with everyone else. If you do have any time to waste I suggest you to fly away if you can.

So I guess some photographs might clear things up.....

So I went to india few days back. Massive country with massive amount of whatever you might think of (eg. crowd,slum,snowy mountain,railway etc). Although the people didn quite seem happy to me like the people I live with in Bangladesh. Still any day you travel there it sure will give you lots of perspectives on life .
I always love to take pictures of ordinary peoples just before they notice me and in india you'll find them in abundance. Some are curious, some are happy,some are too tired to notice and some as Irritating as indians are. So here's some eye treats for you to gaze upon....





The kid in the picture was actually calling his sister and I was lucky enough to click that emotion. I felt good you'll too ;) The place where I found this jumping kid was in the ancient temple of Elora. That place really blew me away. Being a student of architecture It really puts me into shame when I see our ancestors knew about the scale of space so much better than the macho architects of these days. I know less is more but those complex structures standing for hundreds of years isn't bad either or is it?
