don’t laugh if i say i saw the real sea only when i was 26 … i mean yes; literally … it was marina beach. chennai … i was put up at tirupati, a temple town in southern andhara pradesh … chennai was hardly a 3-hrs-journey by train then … i had never been to chennai earlier and suddenly i got an opportunity to go there … a day’s off and headed to chennai.. that was the first time i saw something so big, huge and vast … water and water wherever my eyes go … first time i felt so small in front of nature … i always prefer hills than sea, because hills get a special place in my memory; however this was an eye opener for me ! and 5 years later, my ten-month-old daughter saw the sea first time … co-incidentally it was again the same, marina beach … in between i had traveled so many other beaches, east coast, west coasts of india … had been on an expedition to walk coasts after coasts by the arabian sea in karnataka …
… i had seen enough… but every time i see a sea, it gives me a different perspective all together… i learn how people are depended on the sea for their living … i see, how a sea protects our livelihood … i see , how a sea pour us with its help for a better civilization … i learn different emotions, different color, different scenes, different acts by the sea …
every time i find an opportunity , i learn something different than previous time …
[ first picture was taken at Mahabalipuram, Tamilnadu, and the second one at Marine drive, Chowpatty beach ]
Every thing given by nature is having its own value…mountain or sea. One is high enough to make us think like that and one is deep enough to think like that…..so our thinking should be high like mountain and deep like sea….but if we see them, they are different to each other…i had never been on any beach but i would like to see the sea…
hmm Pushkar, great thought … nxt trip should be somewhere at the sea shore .. what say ?
very nice…any time…i m agree and ready..
WOW! great shots and beautiful thoughts inside, carry on Sandip!!
On the way to Manali about 13 years back, my co-passenger in the bus said..Tumne Baraf nahi dekhi Maine Samundar nahi dekha….That was the time when I realised we should cherish the natural beauty around us. I was considering myself so lucky to be able to see the Arabian Sea everyday. But when I saw the snow covered KanchenJunga and Sunrise from the East, you know how much beautiful sights we miss living on the West Coast. Well we just need to learn the enjoy and appreciate nature in all forms..Beautiful pictures Sandeep. Your trademark shots are some bright color like red, pink and light background. I like them a lot. Keep clicking your camera. Regards, Bhautik
That is nothing to laugh about – I saw snow for the first time when I was 20.
I feel the same way when I see rivers, how civilizations started because of the river.
Hi Bhautik… thanks a lot… there are so much to see around … but not enough time
