Travel and Photography
Had been to kerala recently and wanted to have this post under my usual Travel and photography theme, but the message I wanted to convey was much more than just this, so made that a sub heading. I questioned myself; What does it take to be a celebrity? Fame doesn't shake hands with those who are just talented. There is something else missing in these people which I yet need to discover or probably find out from you. As they say, your family name most of the times would do all the magic in the film industry. Our country with such a bursting population would have a lot of such cases that fail to exhibit their endowment at the right place and time. I met one such case in Fort Kochi.
This person could embellish the algae clad wall with just a few colored chalks, and of course a lot of his esteemed abilities. People gathered to watch him chalk his imagination, but pretended not to recognize that it was not a charity show. He stood there smiling at the audience waiting to at least settle his accounts on the money he had spent for the chalks. It was shocking to see everyone disperse from there without even a single penny flying to his side. Seriously I feel that my Canon 350D failed to reproduce the shades (In fact I borrowed this snap from my friend) that he could create on such a dirty wall. With a canvas I think he will touch the skies.Here are some of the glimpses of kerala (Cochin, Attirapalli and Alleppey backwaters) through my camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/57078108@N00/.
