A Day Begins in Negombo ( from Negombo Beach, December 2019)

TAPIOSZELE, a cute train station in the countryside of PEST in HUNGARY

Colors on the Sand in the Evening Beach....!

Rain Clouds in the dusk and the waves around Jetwing Sea in Negombo

THE VESSELS MOVING AND THE PAIR ON THE SHORE.....!

The Heavy Vessels for the coastal shipping trade started moving ahead from the Eastern Coast of the Arabian Sea...
The Sun was bright and the Noon felt tight of the heaviest Loads inside....
In the bright Noontime, the bridge stood less busy with vehicles and the Posts stood straight ahead....
The Pair on the Shore looked grave ..as there found a Yacht awaiting them in the Reach Yard of the Beach..and an Egret walked straight ahead watching the West...

The Colors That The Rain Fills Up On This Earth In This Monsoon.....!!

The rains of the South-West monsoon are now on here in the Tropical South of India....,
The leaves are in thrill to dance upon the showering winds in tune with the percussion of the clouds and the surging ups and downs of the rain drops that filled up on this Earth in Layers of colors that make the day into a stage of dancers in unique sense of joyfulness and in-depth harmony of luminous expressions and rhythmic diversity...!
The dust deposited by the summer was washed away from the trees and the entire plants rejuvenated with sprouting buds and stems..and thus the rain harvested  from the dry lands and the hills on its course of growth and the earth was enthralled like a virgin attaining her growth , as if the earth turning into fertile....and sensitive to the powerful touch of the sky and the wind like the sprouting spirits of a man to a woman...!
The water went through the sensuous streams of powerful emotions and the earth blushed out in delightful rhythms of sensations,,,,thus rejuvenated..in multiples...!!!!The body is to sprout with innumerable blossoming vegetation and there was the color of a virgin...!

The Leafy Palms received the shower in full....!

 The Blossoming Earth was in Full glory...!
The Mood was deep .....!
And the Air went dark!!!!

MINOLTA HI-matic 7s II,...the Foremost Memory in my image making experiences,

I met with my first manual Minolta 7sII with a 40mm Rokkor lens, in the wake of the Fifth Avenue of 1979. Then it was disappeared from my view and passed over hands for many years.... and later on, after two decades, returned to my hands. Then I was not known to its mechanism .But over the years ,after a period of six years, I found an expert technician to make it worth for use and started taking photos out of it in roll -films ...thus to develop my skills in image making..still it is in very good condition to get exposed with roll  films so as to get pictures with lasting exposure quality and worthy print outs for reasonable applied purposes.

A Face in the Fifth Avenue..!

During the early days of the Fifth Avenue , in the slow progression of time,I met with a face of a tribal man who belonged to the Eastern hills of the land . It was dark as the raining clouds and dense as the thick forest in the night..,the eyes were burning like the torches in that night forest and the lips were pulsing with thirst..;
This was the characteristic facial features of the man of the hills as depicted in the classical performing art form of Southern India in its dance drama,Kathakali.
I have made this line-drawing out of the 'Paint Brush' option in my PC in 2005.

Fruits on the way to the Fifth Avenue...!

Fruits in bitmap (an illustration I did in Paintbrush-option

This bitmap image I have made in the last years denotes a milestone on my way through the Fifth Avenue. After the fruitful pursuits in 1979, I have had undergone a tremendous age of struggle and strife to support my existence as an individual and intellectual.It was like the experience went through by a child left in the desert. It took a drastic period to come over the dilemma in my social life that had been lived upon in the rigid circles of the third world but at the extreme of a crisis I have again met with the indications of the Fifth Avenue ahead on the misty roads and found happiness in illustrating the fruitfulness of the age-long strife in this image of fruits in the simple format of paint-brush at that interval of relaxation ..! 

The Coastlines In The Moist Of December And The Plastic Balloons ..

The December 2014 received a farewell in the moist of its last days in the coastlines in the tropics.it was like a memory that had never been swiped away from the chart of  the Fifth Avenue that I had kindled in the childhood squares of my life ! So I walked along the coastline that assembled the fishing and sailing vessels across the misty waters and moist that filled up the air and the landscape in my view..

The fishing vessels in the misty coastline

 The cruise points remained rather lonely with a few boats resting besides the banks and the backwaters were almost still and windless and hence there had been not much people to wait for the cruises or for having any sightseeing...

 Thus, in the perplexity of the cloudy landscape, the last days of 2014 were found quite unwilling to evade from the scene of the new years' eve..! But apart from the scene, on the roads around the lakeside, the traffic was heavy and the evening roads were busy with the crowd , making themselves hasty for the coming year...and among the crowd there found a bunch of plastic balloons in multicolored fluorescence and with shapes of animals and cartoon characters found in television serials !!It was a piece of colorfulness that took the entire stuff of the air away from the moist that weighed down over the forbidding December days of the last year !!

'PALARUVI' denotes The Milky Stream

'Palaruvi' is a term in the  Malayalam Language that can be rendered as 'The Milky Stream'.It is the name of a place where there is waterfall of that nature. So it is described like that. I had been to there years back as a student on an outing.Then I have had no camera with me and I did a few sketches of the waterfall and painted them in watercolor thereafter at home. Thus I breathed life into what I had seen over there in the forest landscape and my watercolor, 'PALARUVI' was born on paper as given here;

Let me have an Umbrella or all the Rains shower on me!

The platform under rains

• The station under the shower

  A man on the raw platforms in a countryside

  The post monsoon rains had been started in the south of the subcontinent then.I was waiting for the morning train.It was started slightly showering from the early morning and then it was coming more dense;besides,the train was late for more than half an hour ...my platforms were opened the eyes to the sky ;impatience grew within myself and the rain was also growing ...my train was delayed but a goods wagon covering the entire platform entered the station with its penetrating headlights that spread lights on the wet rails and platform, adding more impatience to me as I would like to reach the capital as early as possible; now the whistling  wagon added more echoes to the natural sounds of the rain that was howling away with the sizzling winds from the lakes nearby , it was quite chilling! thus the wagon left the station;

  Another One in the opposite side

  When that goods left and the wait for the passenger continued for awhile but that was not yet around near and adding more dullness to the wait, another goods had approached the next platform within the surfing veils of the white shower that had transformed the space into a mysterious backdrop!
  

  

  Another goods from the opposite

  Passengers fed up

  The delayed passenger train and the unexpected goods trains under the heavy rains made the waiting minority more fed up.So they started to turn back from the platforms and decided to leave the station and stop that day's journey . But still then I had not decided to deviate from my journey and meanwhile the announcement was out from the station speaker that the passenger was arriving!
  

   Now the rains were almost finished and the platforms were completely washed away by the post monsoon!I thanked my saffron umbrella that had  kept me waiting at the country railway station for that much of time!

A Wild Midsummer

• Midsummers are  crucial to people who are capable of enjoying midsummers in the form of vacations; teachers and students are the main beneficiaries of summer vacations in India.Besides ,the period is both hot and vibrant as far as the climatic conditions are concerned; even under the hot sun people engage in leisure and leisurely activities  so as to fulfill their vacation-time.

The core part of this time is earmarked by the sweaty dusks when most of the grownups choose to  relax from the tiresome naps of the afternoon.This kind of relaxation most often does have  strong emotional impacts on individual affinity and passion towards recreating caressing each other in  the art of making materialistic love in any social strata of life.

The Sailor Dreams or A Dream-Sailor

Sailing across the sea is gentle and grand when it is seen from the shore but not like that to those who are engaged in it; like that in the case of dreams and fantasy, a man lost in such acts may not look that much serious or tightened until the fulfillment of his inside yearnings;
Yes, the fifth Avenue has been proved to be the essential port of sail to all the rest of my dreams and fantasy that prompted me to sail across the lands of dreams all over the world of Dreams.

Butterfly Effects After 1979

So as to explore more on the effects of the butterflies in 1979, I was led to instances at which I encountered that flowers and colors greatly enrich the human milieu and enhance not only their fascination but their faith in the substantial life on earth everywhere....each man made gardens  exemplify the fact

Miracles in the Fifth Avenue in1979

The Fifth Avenue witnessed many more miracles in 1979..! It was there  I realized  that the fishes can also express colors in their silver body under water almost like butterflies do with their wings in the air; I wandered around the ponds and streams in the countryside in monsoons and sunny days alike to  wonder how much illuminated colors are sprang up from  the tiny  silver bodies of the pond-Pisces under sun and shade....later on I discovered the charming confluence of colors  I found in the wings of butterflies and in the tails of fishes is being mixed up in the sweet preludes of humane learnings blossomed in that Fifth Avenue during 1979... that  enabled me to paint my 'Pisces Configuration' in 2011 , as visible here,

I had received my first New Year Gift , amusingly as ever in December 1979

I love butterflies as much as my dreams , the gardens as well where they dwell ! That's why this digital illustration was born out of my computer  a few years ago...., I am eager to narrate the reason behind, ....if you are eager to listen to that...........too!
