Dinjith & Bahul first set up eko's unique ambience (time and place) beautifully drawing us in, then pace the screenplay perfectly, stack it up with an eclectic (and fantastic) cast, and finally provide a knockout climax punch. A very satisfying theatre visit. #malayalam #movies

Good morning. This morning was supposed to be cloudy but then the sun peaked through the fog for a few minutes.

Use only ONE piece of art to convince folks to follow you 😊

A silent figure in the land.

'His eyes are closed, a peaceful stare,
Lost in the sunlit, open air.
He looks beyond the earthly plight,
To grasp a guiding, inner light'.

"Faith" sculpture by South African artist Anton Smit 📷

#Scape #Photography #Landscape #Monochrome #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin
A high contrast black and white photograph of a dramatic 7m tall sculpture called "Faith" by South African artist Anton Smit that is on display at Leonardslee Gardens. it shows a naked man with arms outstretched whose head is bent backwards as he looks up to the sky. The figure stands on grass and appears to tower above trees in the distance. A poem inspired by the sculpture: Through verdant vines and ancient wood, A giant head of stone has stood. The gardener's touch, the sculptor's hand, A silent figure in the land. His eyes are closed, a peaceful stare, Lost in the sunlit, open air. He looks beyond the earthly plight, To grasp a guiding, inner light. The sculptor's verse, a quiet call, A sense of faith in one and all. "I lift my eyes," the stone can say, "And find my strength along the way." For faith is not a thing to hold, But a story to be told. A journey walked, a path unclear, Where spirit triumphs over fear. So in this garden, calm and deep, A silent promise, you can keep. To find your own, at last, at peace, And let the searching soul release.

I'm loving taking more #LowKey #BlackAndWhite photos. Luckily found a model in the living room watching TV to volunteer for for experiments. :)

I've been trying to find a solution to automate basic usability tests and heuristic evaluations. Since antigravity can control browsers, it can also identify most usability and a11y issues on a browser based UI. even tested it with a usability test protocol and it gave me decent results.

I just can't stand Malayalam movie interviews anymore - jarring and pretentious. The constant code switching by both interviewers and actors are making it a cringe fest. If you want to speak in English, speak in English. If you start a sentence in Malayalam, finish it in Malayalam.

I was up till 2 am last night redoing my photography portfolio
- a new logo
- Removed a bunch of photos (I still have to learn to curate photos better)
- Since I can't define myself as purely a nature photographer, It makes sense to categorize photos as B&W and color.

A typography logo that reads "RoPhotos" the letter O in "Ro" contains silhouette of a flying heron. The entire logo is in dark blue.

Before I built a wall
I’d ask to know what I was
walling in or walling out,
and to whom I was like
to give offence ...

He says again, ‘Good fences
make good neighbours.’

Two men paint a dividing-wall yellow in accordance with the instructions of a third elevated on a higher level on the other side. The one wearing a white vest and green dhoti uses a roller and yellow paint. The other, dressed in a longsleeved orange shirt and blue-check dhoti, uses a simple brush and is having something pointed out to him from above by the third man who has his sleeves rolled up. [In fact, the painters had hopped over this rooftop wall without the other landlord's permission and were hurrying to complete the task as a fait accompli before there could be any complaints!] Ramana Nagar, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India.

One movie that I really loved this year was Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro. Everything was perfect. I would give it 10/10 for storytelling, acting, cinematography, music, special effects, and the way that it pulls on your heart strings. Stayed with me for a long time

Finally watched Lokah chapter 1, Chandra. Pretty good. 7.5/10.

On a side note, please stop giving well made movies to Jio/Hotstar until they learn how to properly serve atmos without degrading the audio quality.

Something blue for #BlueSkyMonday A gorgeous Blue-grey Tanager to hopefully raise a smile. 💙

Happy new week everyone! 👋 📷 🪶

A photography of a blue-grey bird that is perched on a branch. The bird has its back towards the camera with its head in side profile looking to the right as viewed. The blue tones of its feathers are strongest on its wings which look almost turquoise. It has a big dark eye and fairly stout beak. The background is blurred in pale green. Taken in Costa Rica.

I was trying to get a #BirdoftheDay post for Mr. & Mrs. today at the lagoon. These redheads just could NOT get the light right. Hope you had a restful weekend... I see Monday morning right around the corner. 😑 🪶
A duck couple features a male on the left with a rusty colored head, black chest and gray body & the female on the right with a brown and tan body and a slight white eye ring visible. They sit on the still blue waters of the lagoon.

Look, there it stands,
as if insentient.
When it stilled my mind
and drew me to itself
and I came near,
I saw that it was
absolute stillness,
O Arunachala!

Ramana Maharshi, 20th century

A pink, 40-seat private bus with a large 'FRIENDS' decal on the upper window sits parked on a clay plot of land with Arunachala looming in the background, separated only by a variety of trees and dense undergrowth. The holy hill forms part of the Eastern Ghats and is 2,268 feet in height. Geologists estimate its age to be 2.6 billion years. The Skanda Purana tells of how Shiva appeared as a column of light to settle a dispute between Brahma and Vishnu about which of them was greater. After this had been resolved, Siva manifested in form for the benefit of humanity as the Arunachala Hill.

Against a gray sky, this black crow stands on a wire looking back over its right shoulder. We see the bird from below and slightly off to the side giving a good profile.

Amidst the blurred background of pink and orange zinnia flowers and the green leaves and flower stems, a sphinx moth (Sphingidae) is feeding on the nectar of one orange zinnia flower, with a small clump of orange pollen left on the moth's proboscis. 주황색과 분홍색 백일홍들, 초록색의 잎사귀들과 꽃줄기들의 흐릿한 배경을 두고 사진 중앙 왼쪽에 주황색 백일홍 한송이와 박각시(나방) 한 마리가 있습니다. 박각시가 꽃꿀을 먹는 동안 주둥이에 작은 주황색 꽃가루 뭉치가 박혀있는 것이 보입니다.
