“Japan’s era of shoguns and samurai is long over, but the country does have one, or maybe two, surviving ninjas. Experts in the dark arts of espionage and silent assassination, ninjas passed skills from father to son - but today’s say they will be the last. […]

Kawakami is the 21st head of the Ban family, one of 53 that made up the Koka ninja clan. He started learning ninjutsu (ninja techniques) when he was six, from his master, Masazo Ishida.

“I thought we were just playing and didn’t think I was learning ninjutsu,” he says.

“I even wondered if he was training me to be a thief because he taught me how to walk quietly and how to break into a house.”

Other skills that he mastered include making explosives and mixing medicines.

“I can still mix some herbs to create poison which doesn’t necessarily kill but can make one believe that they have a contagious disease,” he says.

Kawakami inherited the clan’s ancient scrolls when he was 18.”

Dhanteras, edition #2.

This is supposed to be the ‘festival of lights’, but I don’t really think many people are living up to that tagline. And fire-crackers do not really aid in any way whatsoever.

But, surely, the literal lighting up of this part of the city, along with the echo of winter (that sound of chill in the air?), made my day.

And yes, I am TIRED now. However, today’s little excursion left me in better spirits. My brain has started working again.

“Dhanteras ( Hindi : धनतेरस, Sanskrit/Marathi : धनत्रयोदशी) is the first day of the three-day DiwaliFestival as celebrated in parts of north India. On Dhanteras, the “Owl” form of Goddess Lakshmi is worshiped to provide prosperity and well being. Dhanteras holds special significance for the business community due to the customary purchases of precious metals on this day. Many wear new clothes and wear jewellery as they light the first lamp of Diwali while some engage in a game of gambling.” - Wikipedia

I went with my cousin for a photography trip to old Jaipur, and clicked a few shots of things that caught my eye. The Pink City was bustling with activity, and I never realized how time passed. LMB was our break-from-walking haven, where we stopped twice, and my cousin (who is a wonderful photographer himself) helped me to adapt myself to.. urm.. photography, again.

Yes, because I went after so long, I felt like I didn’t know anything about my favourite hobby in the world. These pictures are what I could muster, and I was (still am) terribly happy to have ignored my lazy bones (and mental state) this Sunday. I finally went for a date with my camera, other than the usual (and unproductive) acquaintances I have with it during work hours (UGH). Just being there, in that place, was … relieving. Me, my camera, and the world.

That’s calm, I say. :)

An Abrupt End by James Huse

These incredible high speed photographs of milk filled balloons bursting were create entirely with university equipment. The budget cuts in creative education could jeopardise future projects such as this, and have many talented students education come to an abrupt end. The project seeks to showcase and celebrate creative education and display how funding it is a worthwhile and a much needed part of our education system.

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from ‘A’ to where you’d be
It’s only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I’d find your face
My fingers in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I’ve found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I’m miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We’d set the fire to the third bar
We’d share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can’t keep in

I’m miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

Hailey Road, New Delhi, 25th September 2011.

It was one of those days that I ate up like a famished horse gobbles up his food. Rarely, there haunts me this feeling of utter content, when I am part of the world’s activity, but also am far faraway from the bustle. It feels like I am sitting at the ocean’s shore, and know nothing else except for the sound of the waves, loving them passionately, and dancing solely to their sound.

Last year’s 25th was a day like that. This picture teleports me back, and it has a zooming quality about it, while it does so. It goes like this —> *I am looking at it*, *BANG! And hurtling towards that moment on the lonely road*, *being sucked in, like swwwoooopppP!*, *and finally, standing there, in that place, intensely happy*

I dream you could come back to me. Just rewind and let me relive, once again, for the second time. I do not know when I will be a part of days like you again, but I wait.

Perhaps, I’m a bit eccentric for waiting like this. But its beautiful hope, and I strive, I strive.

Hey! I was just scrolling through your blog and realized what a great eye for photography you have. Some really amazing photos, especially the ones of people. What camera do you use?

After much contemplation, and a visit to Delhi, and a lot of advice-taking, and just tons of tension - I decided to take up a job as trainee reporter and sub (like, REALLY Sub)-editor at Daily News & Analysis, in home-town Jaipur. My initial plans had been to go back to graduation-city-with-more-opportunities, Delhi. However, this decision was also taken by me, not my parents. Ha, being 21 has taught me a lot. It has woken me up. It has shaken me to the very guts. It hasn’t been easy.

But through all of that mental devastation and anarchy, I have come out a different person. I have lost, and I have been careless, but I have learnt some great lessons.

Commencing this new phase of my life, my first job, is absolutely exhilarating. Each day I am so thrilled to go for assignments, even if I personally do not connect with all of them. I work for the supplement to the main newspaper, DNA After Hrs. We write feature articles, on theatre, on some sexy issues and some superficial ones. We talk of food and good health, local designers and artists, culture and trends. Page 4 is dedicated to Bollywood masala. Personally, I love giving the weekly update on new book releases in the city. But just having this responsibility, being credited for relaying information, meeting various sorts of people, and growing every day - all this makes me happy.

I am an ambitious woman and I have dreams. Hopefully, this is the correct decision. Haha, else I’ll make it the correct one, because it has been mine.

Plus, I get to be with my 18-year-old sister, who will be ready to step out into the real world soon and, then, we will be quite far away.
