Natural Selection …

It was a stressful week and moreover the overcast monsoon clouds didn’t help either. I needed to unwind myself and relax so badly …

The Monsoon rains took a break, Sun came out and the ambience changed all of a sudden.

There were birds all around in our garden and there comes butterflies too… I ran for my camera and followed the butterflies for hours. I was not bothered about the quality of the images but I was in tango with them…

There is nothing like spending time observing these winged beauties … best antidote to stress and boredom …

Have a beautiful weekend 🙂

It’s Theyyam time, again …

You can view Theyyam from different dimensions, such as, art, folklore, culture, myth etc;

But, one thing most of us fail to see is the human endurance perspective.

To me, Theyyam is one of the ‘Physically most demanding’ ritualistic folk art.

I felt it again, last day, when I watched a Theyyam named ‘Ilamkolam’ performed near my home.
