Thoughts



First thought 
Caught in the thought web
 In my childhood days, one dream recurred every night. In the dream, huge stones were rolling down towards me, and I have no way to go. Suddenly all of them disappear. This dream was a fear factor for me. May be by the age of 16, that dream stopped. I got along with the life. However, that feeling remained with me. Now many times, I feel so insecure about everything. Although everything is in place, some unknown fear / threat bothered me often, especially in the evenings.
Evening- rough sea and cold wind blowing across

 I tried to give a voice to this fear in a poem and a prose. Recently I took few photos, and those photos evoked the similar fearful evening feeling. 
Thoughts are like monkeys - you need to tie it- is it possible?
Shall I think about past or left out future?
Telescope is useless in search of peace


Second thought
The Mumbai city cared for every one or it never bothered for any one. When I stepped out of a bus on a Borivili bridge, it gulped me. Millions around, but I felt alone. In one kannada song, the a orphan boy comes to city and he finds no place to stay, and on the background one song – there is a song “so many houses here, which one is mine”.
Bus of thoughts- travelers ( thoughts) come and go- I stand here alone
Young thoughts in crowd

Third thought
Here is a man who is lost and rest of the word is looking something else. Many occasions it is that feeling "you are  alone" makes you very uneasy and uncertain. It is immaterial that who is there around you, what kind of material things you posses or money you have, you feel naked or just mind no body. That time I always feel and wish I could become a bird, fly away to far off places in search of peace. I know I may not get peace but at least I am happy that I as searching something. Life is nothing but searching. The meaningful search make it bearable and meaningless search make is agony and no search make you sad. 
Alone in the crowd
Fly away
Searching future for the child

Photos
Here are the photos which represent (may be) the feel of lost. Interestingly,children or adult, we get lost in thoughts irrespective of the place. In traffic, functions, seashores and almost everywhere.   
Lonely walks
Somewhere outside
Am I a stone or living one?
I too think!!
Lost in smoke of thoughts
Wrinkles of thoughts
Lost in traffic of thoughts
Lost in traffic of thoughts-
A artificial Mustache made me think more about uncertain future?
We too get lost in thoughts!!
Selling flowers- where are fruits?
Not just face even body is lost in thoughts
