This colourful artists' village hides a dark story.

                             The Dark Story Behind The Colourful Outcome

              Well folks, I'm again irregular in blogging! It's my blog after almost one month..actually I was in tremendous pressure of a series of deadlines and the college test results too ;)

             So here I'm again on indiblogger, but this time I'm not sharing my photography or travel experiences. Just today, I checked my another mailbox and found this link from Indiblogger, it said "IndiChange needs you". I quickly went through the video and it really mesmerised me....I will hereby suggest you to watch the video too. It will make you wonder how incredible artists live in such remote area and earn meagre in lieu of such marvellous hard work..By watching this video, you will get amazed to know that those artists sell their artworks in about Rs.3000-5000 whereas those buyers again sell them to us in Rs. 30000-50000!! How ironical it is for them..These artists of Raghurajpur, Orissa earn so little, but contribute their huge effort and time in giving those artworks perfect finish, which catch one's gaze immediately. They have to fight their health issues, such works need tremendous pressure on eye. Such work is our national and cultural treasure, and if we do not appreciate them, if they go on leading such poor livelihood, then how can we be able to save these masterpieces?

               It's our duty to share their stories, and in such an extent that those middlemen who takes the huge price and push these artists to more poor livelihood. We should buy these artworks directly from these artists, so that they can earn more and lead a healthy life. In this initiative they will also feel appreciated and satisfied.

Tata Capital Ltd (Tata Group) has taken a great initiative in giving those artists appreciation and fair livelihood. In association to IndiBlogger they want this to spread to larger audience. So it's also our duty to share this as much as possible #DoRight

The Mustard Field

                                                  THE GOLDEN CARPET

             Hello folks! Winter is about to bid adieu, so I thought to show you some pictures I took last year in winter. Well, we all know that mustard fields look really awesome in winter with the bright yellow flowers tossing in the wind. So here are few of the shots of Mustard fields which I captured while returning from my tution (the thing I used to do very often!)

   Near the High road, it was amazing to see such lovely scene, it reminded of the famous "Yash Chopra typical location in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge". I went with my five batchmates and as there was none in the field, we all started our photo-session with full fledge ;)

      I went inside the field, it was muddy and full of leeches but I was determined (or I should say crazy!!) to click the picture from different angles and with my dress stained and also treading some of the mustard plant I came out after a few minutes. I had got what I wanted to capture after all.

             

             After  spending about half an hour there posing for various pictures and clicking each others' pictures we thought it was the time to head back ; if someone would have seen us, we would surely got bitten up!!

            This photo was taken on the way back home, it looked like a perfect village side with the cow and the greenery...

          

 This photo was taken some months after that day. It was a foggy day unlike the last day, but the field was fulfilled that day. I was alone that day and so I did not go inside the field, I clicked this picture and returned back...

NEW FIND!!!

                               A NEW BUTTERFLY IN MY COLLECTION :)

Found it at Chinsurah, West Bengal...It was at the time of Durga puja last year, I went out with few of my friends and noticed it with torn wings on the lawn. I took it up with my fingers very carefully, it was trembling as if taking the last breaths. I placed it on a leaf and took this picture. I always wanted to capture a black winged butterfly and here I found it on a day of hangout :)

COMMON MORMON (FEMALE),STICHIUS FORM

RECHARGE!!!

                                  I WANT A RECHARGED NEW YEAR

WELL, a very Happy New Year dear friends! Have you guys make any resolutions? Ahh! all of us make resolutions I guess, some of us are very serious about it, and some of us are just so frank, in fact some of us even forget about our resolutions in the middle of the year. Poor resolution!! Okay, lets just move aside and discuss about new year plannings..What say?

Hmm this is not a photography based blog as I usually do, rather it's something very weird ;)

Confused huh?!!! well, all these pictures are taken (downloaded) from  http://www.sunsilk.in/ i.e the Sunsilk official website. Not only me but my mom also a regular Sunsilk user and when I saw this contest details popping up on the Indiblogger homepage, I quickly checked it and decided to submit an entry. I am a totally new user on Indiblogger and henceforth have never submitted any entry on any contest organised here. But this contest looked very ineresting one...Why? You will get to know..Keep scrolling this blog ;)

Almost all of us (specially women!) want to look fabulous so that people notice and give compliments. And hence anyone would agree to the fact that beautiful hair accentuates the beauty of  an woman, so we are/have to be very careful about the health of our hair. 
Being a daily commuter of crowded train,launch and rickshaw it becomes very tough to maintain the hair. And if the hair is long and curly, then it becomes more difficult. I have this peculiar brownish curly hair which always looks as if I have not combed. Everyday I have to cycle first to the railway station and then I board train. Even if I bind my hair in a tight bun or a plait, the hair becomes messy after I get off the train. Then I take a rickshaw to the ferry ghat through the dusty market and then I get on the launch. After that I walk to my college. So you guys can easily understand that how much my almost waist length hair gets damaged in this daily journey. I apply oil daily and shampoo regularly but somehow the hair always get messy. But with this Sunsilk shampoo the hair gets back its shine at some extent. I shampoo regularly and hence am able to avoid hairfall and split ends. The hair remains silky smooth with the usual brownish glow and I am assured that "mere baalon ka shiny glow will never go!"

So here is the story of how Sunsilk helps me recharge my life and my hair!! :)

Being a frequent cyclist (and a speedy one too! ;) ) I can let my hair loose and let them talk to the wind. In earlier days I would always become worried about the damage of my hair while cycling, as the dust from the road would damage the hair severely. That is why I had too bind my hair, which I do not like so much. Now I can be without worry!

I can go out with my friends on a sunny or foggy morning and let my hair loose...

I always wanted to learn driving scooty or bikes, but unfortunately never got the chance..But now I hope the dream will be fulfilled. Sunsilk will recharge my hair so that I can pose 
like these two superb looking celebrities with my hair open and with my scooty :) #wish #dreamcometrue

After I learn scooty, I can take my niece out on my scooty or my bicycle, so that we both can enjoy :) It is something we both want very much!

I want to dance my heart out with this favourite song of mine "Tumhi ho bandhu" just as Diana was dancing with her silky hair falling all over her face!

I have started performing on stage on college fests after I started my college. And this look of Katrina with loose brown curly hair totally charges me up.

I have always avoided Holi as the colours damage hair badly. But with Sunsilk I can go out with open hair and get fully drenched and colourful like this. #weird

I don't tell people but it's a secret wish I'm telling you people. I have always wanted to go out on someone special's bike...my hair let loose and wind caressing them..Well, it may happen someday i future when I meet that someone special..Before that it will only remain a wish :) #romanceintheair

And my heart singing "udne do..hawa zara si lagne do" :)

And last but not the least, it is my long time dream to go on a trekking and climb at the top and let my hair loose and shout..Just like this scene in "Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani".

And yes one more thing, I want to straighten my hair just once, only to see how much long they are!! 

So here is my story, or I would rather say my wishlist...And this wishlist can be complete with Sunsilk...which will make my life recharged and my hair healthy enough so that I don't need to worry about their damage in any weather and let them dance and talk to the wind!

That is all of my weird blog! Enjoy dear freinds :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

                                                     WINTER JEWELS

      At first here I want to wish everyone, my dear readers and indiblogger friends a very very HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014....

In this blog I want to share some of my most memorable shots..Memorable because those were unexpected and something I never saw before.

I was in school then...not being an early morning person I seldom got time to go ustairs on terrace and catch a glimpse of these dew droplets on the tender leaves. When I would wake up, the dew would already vapourise.

Meanwhile one morning I went up the terrace before leaving for tution, needless to say that it was only for the glimpse of the dewdrops and nothing else! And what I saw, really left me amazed...I had never seen such arranged dewdrops on the leaves..In my 18 years of life, I had never seen such a brilliant natural piece of art.

The new tender rose-leaves with reddish borders were looking just perfect with those pearl like dew drops. Such a scene is more than enough to make your day, and being a photography-crazy it is no doubt a gift to get a chance to click such master arts of nature.

Even the budding flowers had the new ornaments of dewdrops...This is a picture of a rosebud..

Not only the leaves, even the winter-flowers were also in their wintry outfit...Transparent pearly outfit!

The violet plant which has a lot of small pinkish flowers were looking so nice with the glittering dew droplets...

The sun had clearly came out of the fog then..and it was also a bit past my tution time...So I hurried up and readily came downstairs...

This year I am more late in rising up, so I am missing those dewdrops, but nevertheless last year gave me those wonderful moments and who knows, this year if one day I wake up early, then I can see those dewdrops again?!! ;) :) LOL

HAPPY WINTER!!!

                                        JUST CHILL, IT'S HAPPY  WINTER!!!

After almost two months my pc is in good health ;) And I am here blogging after the Diwali...Loooooong time na?!!

So my dear readers, are you enjoying the winter? The nip in the air? The fog? Well, I don't know whether all of you are experiencing winter or not, because we all live faraway from each others (but still connected no?)

Here in my place the Winter has gradually set in although the chill is not really there in the air..But last year, whoa!! it was tooooooo cold...The coldest winter I experienced after my birth..All the people say that I am made of some hot substance that's why I do not feel cold like all others do..But last year I too was shivering..

Scene from my terrace

    Here is the picture of a winter morning last year..And guess what, the picture was taken at 12noon..The weather was still so foggy then...

Scene on road

This picture was taken while cycling..I was going to my tution and saw these people, fully covered with sweater and scarf..It's really chilly early in the morning when you go to tution or school..Isn't it??? ;) LOL

Morning Walk

This picture was also taken on my way to tution.This affection was really an early morning treat. The grandfather clad in dhoti-kurta and sweater and this little baby in his monkey-cap,sweater and woolen pant was taking an early morning walk and the baby was continuously being distracted with roadside beauties! 

Well, this is a small blog...More wintry pictures of  last year is coming soon friends :)

Till then stay well, keep blogging and enjoy the WINTER..Love you dear readers :)

Diwali Bash after a long time

                  DIWALI DHAMAKA- Wishing everyone a belated Diwali

       Not every year is as special as this year...because I do not usually celebrate DIWALI (THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHT). I am very scared of fire since my childhood after I experienced a fire-accident at my home in which my mom somehow survived. She has started working with fire gradually, after all women are destined to cook (which needs working with fire); but that incident had left a dark mark on my mind and I still cannot forget the memory of the incident taken place when I was only two and a half months old...

        Anyway I do not want to scratch old memories...The thing is this year, I burst crackers after years, of which I was so scared. I would only burn "FULJHURI" and "RANG MASHAL". I don't know what happened to me this year that I burst not only those small "fuljhuris" and "rangmashals", but also  "Chocolate bombs","charki" and "tubri" too...Well, these terms are n bengali, sorry to say but I do not know their english names ;)

These are the pictures taken by my mom while me and my cousin sister was busy burning the crackers...She is not scared of fire,and with her this year I also left all my fear, awkwardness...

My House :)

Even my house was decorated much better this year and I took this photo after burning the crackers with my sister...

The charki

I had never burnt charki, but this year as I burnt this one, I quickly captured a photo of this...This may not be looking nice but it will always remain special to me..

MY MOM :)

 This year she also burst crackers with us...and it was so nice to see her enjoying diwali... :) :)

It was the second day...the last day of bursting all the crackers...I would say that we didn't burst many crackers, but this year at least I left my fear out of my mind and burst as much as I could...AND it was that SPECIAL...
