My Love for the Black Horse


The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival (KGAF), Mumbai is the country’s largest multicultural festival. Kala Ghoda Arts district is considered as the heritage art district of South Mumbai and Kala Ghoda Association (KGA) was formed with the objective of preserving and maintaining the art heritage. Source


2015 is the 16th year of KGAF. A community celebration of Art, Cinema, Heritage, Theatre, Street Art, Architecture, Food, Dance, Literature, Music and Workshops. People from all over the country participate in the festival. Some breathtakingly beautiful art installations would simply make you fall in love with art all over again. The art installations at Rampart Row is also a photographer’s delight. That’s why this is my favorite destination during the KGAF.


I would not spend much time blabbering and let you have a glimpse of what artists have to offer this year.

Beauty And Strangeness


"There is no exquisite beauty...without some strangeness in the proportion."

The cactus in my garden shouting "I am the same inside out. Unlike Humans"


Species Unknown- "I am so sweet. Ants love feeding on me"

From the Wild- "I am precious and that's why you looked at me"

Webbed

From my garden- "Even the mosquito couldn't resist looking at my color"

From the wild yet beautiful

"I am the unknown you take interest in"

"Lying lazy- Cat napping"

The Pottery Class

When life gives you chances, grab them before they fade away, keeping in mind that one opportunity might be the last one.

We get to learn from each and every person who make presence in our lives irrespective of their class, age or experiences. My younger sister is one of them. I learn from her a great deal. She never gives away that one chance life offers her. 

And I never miss my chance to capture her gestures in my lenses. She is my prettiest possession.

And hence begins the journey

The first touch

A helping hand

Shaping lives

On the verge of failure

The successful comeback

M loving it

Almost there

The finishing touch

And the results are up

The happy Paromita with her very first pot of success
