Melancholy,My old Friend.

You visit me every now and then.

You regulate my highs and lows, make me realise

what it is to be craving love and happiness!

you make me realise, the existence of my tears

hiding somewhere in the deep,

on the surface, I always am caffeinated and corporate smiled!

but you , melancholy my old friend,

you visit me and help all of my suppressions resurface.

thank you,

my old friend, melancholy.

The Balancing Act.

one of the greatest pleasures I have capturing photographs in the morning.

Winter mornings are always so refreshing, be it Ahmedabad or Glasgow.

The camera or the photography works for me as a balancing act of life.

in the daily dilemmas of work and relationships,

I can count on that little device to shadow me from the scary realities of life and allow me to manipulate the world I see.

I wonder if all the people have this balancing act?

what is her balancing act?

Birthday Month!

28 years ago, I was getting ready to be born in 20 days.

I wonder how different the circumstances were then with my parents, and look at me,

after all these years, I have travelled far away from them!

28 years could make a lot of difference I believe.

Today, I did not go out for a morning walk. It was too bad outside. Strong wind and Rain. Welcome to Glasgow!

I decided to stay back and make my own coffee and saved 1.45 pounds at Greg's! I use a year-old cookworks machine to make my own coffee. For the last few days, I have been adding cinnamon to my coffee. It tastes nice.

Yesterday was Halloween, Glasgow streets were full of characters on the street, lovely to see the city dressed in its true color.

I was wondering if I had to be what would I be? I never actually did anything for Halloween.

The philosophical mind gave a thought,

Hey just try to become you for a day, that'd be a good change for a Halloween.

and then the question arises,

Who are you!

Who are you, Akash?

The Rush

I almost missed writing this today,

Was rushing for the responses on teams.

I was rushing to get back home from the morning walk.

Always Rushing, Missing things.

For a moment,

I have now slowed down my pace of typing

and it feels great,

the music of the Japanese ambient Spotify playlist

The fragrance from the incense stick from Barras market.

Today - Yesterday,

The moon is visible clearly, every morning

feels a little bit magical with the winter creeping in

less and less people on the street.

Restart at 30_10_2023

Finished watching Paterson Yesterday.

It inspired me to get back to writing Poetry.

It is never too late to start again right?

So, today I walked in a different direction for my morning walk,

observered the geometry created by the electric wires above

looked at the streets as a whole, like a painting or a wide-angle snapshot!

And I paused.

I paused between the rushed footsteps

between autumn leaves struggling to stay on the tree.

Most of the leaves have fallen but few of them giving a tough fight in this strong and cold wind.

I realise my hands are freezing,

I might get cold,

Maybe after I finish this poem.

Portraits of Artists by youg Man

It's the second last day of the world famous fringe festival in edinburgh.

I first Visited the festival during my first ever international trip in 2019 and since then this was my third time visiting the festival. Edinburgh and fringe always gets the best out of me, the whole festival as an artistic and positive energy in the wind during this time! every time I have walked down on the streets of edinburgh I have become a different person, like a cosmic explorer of the world that existed all along side me , a side of me that I always wanted to be experience but was never truly fulfilled.

Each artists perofmring on the streets, pubs, cafes, event spaces they all immortalise the creativity in true sense!

Here are some of my pictures from edinburgh fringe festival 2023. All the pictures are captured in Canon 5D classic wiht a tamron 35which i was gifted from my teacher.

Here are some of the shots from my day at Fringe festival 2023.

Cockburn street that leads to Royal mile. They decorate the streets with this simple colorful flags which welcomes you with the festive vibes of the city.

Artist 1

This guys looks like he is from South korea and was playing a nice electronic funk pop music which sounded really refereshing on the street next to an Italian guy playing a plain guitar.

Artist 2

Walk Few meters, and you can see a crowd of children and youngs alike gathered around Human statue artist. She was playing marie curie and with such a grace she was performing her act I could not help but to capture some shots. I donated a pound to her and she changed her pose for me to a different pose however I missed looking her movement so the people around me told me hey, look she moved for you but by that time she was still again! what a nice way of saying thank you to everyone donating there!

Artist 2

Few more meters further on the road and you can see this very vibrantJapanese woman performing the best violin music you would hear. and she would again bow you for the every money you donate!

Artist 3

Another Human Artist in the way, this one was particulary surreal due to the contrast of the theme he was performing with the world around him.

Artist 4

A very honest, engaging and Daring act by this newzelander busker.

Artist 5

a very heart touching perofmrance by this singer , I found her performing with the violinist lady i saw earlier. and it was mesmerising. She ended her performance with the sonce called caledonia which was about returning to home(or coming to home!).

one of the performances, where you just want to let go of thirst to capture a video or photo and just enjoy the moment of her, singing.

Thanks

Akash

L'initiation.

Trying this new format that I wanted to try since a long time. Being able to write about my day and record it somewhere for the generations to read. While Generally I would not like think of myself as a conceited person but I have this desire to be remembered forever, Be part of the memories of other people after I am long gone. At least for my children and grand children. they should know how Life used to be when I lived, who I was once!

while I would generally write this and keep these kind of thoughts and journals of the day in my diary, I am taking a step forward to then finally writing a blog how I always imagined.

And then Hey, Welcome to my Journey Dear Friends.

Well, Give me sometime before eventually everything that I put here will make sense. But till then, let us swim into the void verses and aloft visuals!

I am sitting in the cafe here in Glasgow, Icafe! it's approximatley 5.56 PM here and I have come here after completeing a long day at work from home. I was in the day long session for Key User trainning for Key User trainning. I have moved here since last 4 and half months now, in glasgow ! Glasgow ! the city Of my dreams ? Well probably ! the first time I ever actuallly heard the name glasgow was in the Education Seminar back in 2018 when all the UK universities came to ahmedabad. I was greeted with this two ash blond hair ladies in the corner, who had this unique magazine as a brochure to their university, unlike another universities!

reflections! I spent few minutes trying to find the image of that exact book/magazine/prospectus, that caught my eyes but unable to find it now so let's move forward. So Yeah, I am in glasgow now, If i go back a year and thought about it, could I imagine back then that I would be here this time next year ? and that is one of the thing about my life that fascinates me the most ! the uncertainty ! the most beautiful flow of the life.

and that is the reason most of the times either I am feeling the worst or the best ! most of the times i am t my worst as well because of the reason that I do not know what is next, what to do next and the weekeneds are good example of it. I kinda survive the weekdays, but then weekends are scarry when you are leaving alone!

I have observed meself !(I know it is myself, but if I do not use new words who will then ?) is often in the cycle of the highs and lows. I am the most motivated, bring me anything i will do it person at a times or sometimes just a scared, fat person struggling to even wake up from bed and hate everything and hate talking with people. I am always carrying the extremities in my personality. Sometimes If I analyse it I also think it is due to the fact that I lack any rules, planning and overall proactiveness in my life. I am more of go with the flow person , sometimes the flow will provide you with the good patterns sometimes the pattern does not make sense it messes up the art !

Today, Writing this, Gave me a courage and a confidence to return and achieve my dreams once again.

I am stopping at a very short note rather unsual and insensible place to be stopping at, But I hope one day this time will take me forward and put me in the places where I want to be,

Will I ever meet you murakami ? will I ever be having a cat as a pet ? Will I ever be swimming in the middle of the ocean ? will I ever be singing infront of clouds ! Will I ever be flying a plane ? will I ever be a writer ?well, my dreams goes on and on

time goes on and on,

we forget to remeber,

we love to lose

we dare to define

we write to express.

What I don't realize is when i lost the touch with the réalisation of the objects crawling around me,start being alive and throwing light ! A story told without telling or yelling ! A simple truth brought on through the lights !

The stick man, wearing a hat !
