A picture, a memory and a perspective...





“I can't really explain what i am trying to say here....but there is this something, which is so compelling and unresolved about this picture. I guess I am just drawn to black.....”

“Of course you are”, he smiled - the all-knowing self assured smile which underlined the state that i had allowed myself to slip into.

I have always loved the theatricality of black and white pictures.

The depth of the greyscales, the play of the light and dark textures; unfolding and absorbing the spectrum with an poise of their own, while withholding a memory that will last forever....

And this is exactly how I would like you to remember me.....no more in retrospection or unanswered questions, but in our moments of joys and sorrows, wrapped in seamless lights and shades.


So long.
