Photo Walk, Shadarghat, Bangladesh, 2008.

To this, I must turn my back.

I must choose the one made of fire, the one to Hell....

The Stairway of lights....which leads to Heaven,

Isn't for me.

Khagrachori, Bangladesh, 2008.

300 feet deep, inside the physical entity of hills,
They went crossing the narrow artery of water.

There, they sat in a ventricle, silently.
To hear the heart beat of the hills.

Captured from Khagrachori, Bangladesh. Indigenous children inside a ventricle of hills formed naturally due to erosion by water.

7 miles, Khagrachari, Bangladesh, 2008.

Deep in the pristine jungle, they were waiting.
For the rain that would nourish them....
For the sunlight, that would make them dance in delight.

Then light came, defeating the foreboding darkness.

Captured from 7 miles, Khagrachori, Bangladesh. Only a few people has been to this almost pristine region of Khagrachori, which is extremely difficult to reach, crossing several hills and getting almost 400 feet down a steep hillside.

7 Miles, Khagrachori, Bangladesh, 2008

Covered with the canopy of leaves,
And walled with the steep hills...
This area is forbidden to light.

Yet light invades somehow.
And plays with a rain drop.

Khagrachori, Bangladesh, 2008.

Here life is present with all it's colors;
Extinct long ago from the city.

Here, mind baffles in confusion...
Who is more colorful?
Man, or Nature?

They are spontaneous.

Joyful as a waterfall they are.

Ignorant of this rude world, they are.

And careless of the perils they face......

Because they didn't born elsewhere.

A love is just a kiss.

It's just a song.

When the sky kissed the hill yonder.....

She sang a song of joy,

...That continued forever.

Narayangonj, Bangladesh, 2008

The time for rain has come, with the mighty sun disappearing behind the veil of clouds, and almost never ending shower continues for infinite time...

The sorrow of someone can be a blessing to others; like the incessant tears of the sky brings about mercy to the human kind.

Merchandise of Dream [..Narayanganj, Bangladesh..]

Narayangonj, Bangladesh, 2008

In my childhood I dreamt a dream. It seemed I was flying in the sky with my colorful wings flapping against the wind. My dream took me to heaven and immediately threw me back. May be I was not supposed to have a dream of myself.

Days passed by and I have grew old. But you know, dreams never grow old, they just traverse from one mind to another, from this time to future.

So here I am, children, with the merchandise of dream. Those who wish to have a dream of yourselves, please come to me, buy one. It will cost almost nothing, I promise.

Some roads are difficult.
They lead against gravity...and there's a chance to slip.

Yet, those roads appear now and then.

They have to be crossed, because no matter whether a road is difficult or smooth...

They all lead to the destination.

Catch the dream posted a photo:

They were sleeping.

The leaves, the buds and the stems.

A beam of light hit them through the lush canopy,

And told them to wake up.

"Wake up, wake up!" shouted the light.

....And the whole jungle sprung to life.

At last I am going home.

Many days have passed since you have sent me to an unknown destination.

Captive Wings [..Dhaka, Bangladesh..]

Catch the dream posted a photo:

Photo Walk, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2008.

If I were a bird.
I would fly in the open sky...
Into the green sea, with the waves of clouds.

And someday, a human would cage me.
My soul would cry for freedom, then.

Humans seek freedom as a congenital trait.
But, they love to confine the free birds in a cage....

That's what keeps me wondering.

Time Slots for God [..Narayanganj, Bangladesh..]

Catch the dream posted a photo:

God gets two time slots in a human's life.

At childhood, we remember Him now and then....
May be being startled by the wonderful Earth, where He sent us,
We thank Him in our early life.

Then we almost forget Him.....
Our young eyes get blinded by this lustrous world.

At old age, He comes back to our mind again....
The mind, which is now full of fear of death and afterlife.

My home, where I live, is devoid of light.

But out there, I know light showers the earth.

One day, I'll leave this home of despair and darkness.

.....And I'll travel in that light of hope.

Chuadanga, Bangladesh, 2008

There is an artist creating masterpieces every morning.

And there is a thief, who has got a device, called camera.

Every morning the thief copies an image of the masterpiece in his device.

"Mine!!! Mine!!!" He shouts "What an artist I am!"

We the photographers are nothing but thieves, stealing the art of God
