The dream of a butterfly


She was born as a beautiful butterfly,
She flew in search of a garden, her dream
But she never did find her dream any where
She flew in the solitude pain and hope
Starving for the honey of the garden of her dream

Once upon a time, she was flying very high,
She found her dream, very far in her sight,
Pounded with joy, she flew towards her dream,
The dream that she hoped, all through the years,
With so fast a pace, that she never had before.

The power of her wings was not from her body,
But from a mind with full of hope and joy,
She flew to reach her dream, before stopped by any,
She felt every second like a decade of pain,
Pain to see the garden, that made her live.

When all of sudden, she felt great pain,
Pain in her wings that made them freeze,
She was falling down, when the hope was still far
She was thrown into a desert of soreness and stings,
She lied there on the sand of extreme heat and cold,
That tortured her in for days and night.

The ache was so cruel, that she couldn’t even dream,
The dream to see the garden, that made her live,
She wept in the solitude of the cruel reality,
It will take days before she could flutter again high.
Flutter her wings, to reach the garden of her dream.

The heart of garden cried in with desperate and wild mind,
When he felt that he could not help, the fly who dreamed him
To reach out the desert to make it a garden of love,
Reach the butterfly, who hoped to reach him fast,
God blessed with wings, only the butterfly,
She lied down in the desert, in great agony
In hope to dream at least, the dream that made her live,
The dream which she searched, for her entire life of solitude

God is Still Painting






After the recent cyclone formation in Arabian Sea, it was slightly drizzling in Dubai on second and third of November. The sky was cloudy, but on Saturday evening, the sky was painted with clouds with amazing designs. I could capture few of those designs, while I was on the way to attend the evening Holy Mass at St. Mary’s Church, Dubai. The designs were changing in shape, size and color in each minute.

Contrast


This is a picture of a plant which has similar kind of leaves of a plantain and the structure of the main stem like that of a coconut tree. This plant that grows 10-20 meters high is used in gardens. We have two of them which are about 20 years old in our home garden at Payyampally.

Sunshine


The above picture is of the building Al Fattan Plaza where my current office is situated. This building is situated next to Dubai International Airport, nearest to Terminal 1. In the above picture you can see the dazzling sunshine reflection from the glass panes of the building. The picture is taken using a 2 Mega pixel Nokia mobile camera.

Sunrise View from a Flight



The above picture of the sunrise is taken from a flight before it was about to land in Dubai International Airport.

Focus


This photograph is taken using Canon PowerShot S2 IS, which is now replaced by Canon PowerShot S3 IS and later by Canon PowerShot S5 IS in the market.

Dubai Creek at Twilight


View of Dubai Creek from Bur Dubai side, at twilight. Dubai creek is one of the place which is crowded most in the evening, where people come to relax and refresh.

Contrails



Contrails or vapor trails are condensation trails and artificial cirrus clouds made by the exhaust of aircraft engines or wingtip vortices which precipitate a stream of tiny ice crystals in moist, frigid upper air. Being composed of water, the visible white streams are not, in and of themselves, air pollution. However, contrails generated by engine exhaust are inevitably linked with typical fuel combustion pollutants. The second picture is taken using a 2 mega pixel Nokia mobile camera. The building behind is Al Fattan Plaza where my current work place – office of Emirates Group IT (Mercator).

Sunset Over Concrete Structures


Sunset over beautiful mountains is a dream for people living in a place like Dubai, which is actually nothing, but Desert. Concrete structures are so big in cities like Dubai, which gives a different perspective to the landscape.

God is Still Painting



Cloud designs are always amazing, every time they create some thing very much new.
