Photo a Day Month 2016

It's a 2016 and time for Photo a Day Month 2016! I'm really excited for this time. I gave the site a makeover, my cousin promised to design me a logo and I hopefully bag some interviews with some established photographers.

I would be ecstatic if you guys signed up too! You just have to submit your website and name here - http://photoadaymonth.blogspot.in/p/srchttpsdocs.html

I'm really hoping for more participation this time because I believe this is a great idea. A month long adventure of seeing the world through your lens. And I would also appreciate some help with spreading the word. Or if you guys have ideas of how I can spread the word, please let me know!

Randezvous with Watercolors

I've been playing around with watercolors lately and I've discovered they are "my" sort of paints. There is such color, beauty, simplicity in them. So very very different a experience from poster or oil. I'm not going to assume I'm a great painter or anything. I've amateur at the least, so please ignore the glaring mistakes. Or better, point them out so I know what I'm doing wrong. 

I should also mention, the paintings are recreations so all credits to the original. Thank you for the inspiration :)

The very first. Also discovering the kind of paper to use.

Still learning

Kinda getting there I think

 

Yep

Latest one.

 I've given most of these to friends as they are recreations. I'm going to put my effort into the creation process and work on some originals this December holidays. Watercolors have become an addiction of sorts.



 Oh, this one is poster paints. Toothless for a friend on her birthday!

#Wearethereaders

We are the readers,

we are the learners, the teachers,

and the knowledge seekers, we are the readers…

the story collectors, the page turners

we live to read, we read to live

we are the readers.

We are the readers

from dusk through dawn,

 in sleep and yawn,

we are the readers

easy in every chair

we read, we share

we flirt, we dare

we read to move on

to bring a new dawn

to brighten the night with glowing lights

we are the readers

we are the learners, the teachers

we are the readers

we are the readers, for today and forever

yes, we are the readers. 

“We are the readers” is the Kindle Paperwhite ad currently running in India. It is an ad that makes the ardent reader in me pause, watch the entire advertisement, and leaves me smiling each time. It connects with the crazy, slightly obsessed, and a complete book addict that I am.

 We are all readers, the writers, bloggers, and reviewers. We read with no pre conceived expectations, no genre restrains, we read like it is our job, as if the words sustain us. We read in a bubble, a timeless capsule where the world ceases to exist, night or day, through storm and rain, in make believe or simply a stronger reality. We aren’t the “normal” readers, we read everything and never put down a book unfinished, we sit though the struggles and the problems, bad writing and plot twists, mystery and romance, all sort of books out there.

We are the reader, for today and forever.  Agreed?
