I love this: “I like to have the curiosity of a seeker. I feel that when I do this, I discover the unconditional joy of an honest photographic endeavour.” Seeking always leads to shedding of the ego and hence we stumble upon downright honesty, I thought. Lovely pictures!

Your photography brings a kind of stillness to cherish and savor. Your words resonate with thoughts of my childhood and I'm hooked. I'm so glad I found your account.

Beautiful photography. Just transported me to a different world. I think i should packy bags very soon. Badly in need of the tranquility, so totally tempted by the idea. Thanks for writing, shital. It connects me to another world of possibility that I may or may not visit but brings me peace that such a world exist, maybe not to far, maybe just a thought away.

Thank you for reading Ipsita. I understand how you feel as I am in that place many a times. Writing and taking photographs gives me some peace of mind when I feel stuck in between the chaos of life. Wayanad is beautiful at some point you should see it. And yes the places we want to be at are just a thought away! And what a relief that itself is. Hugs!

And I feel immense joy by looking at your photos. The one with the reflection of the person in the water should be framed.

Shital, you have transposed into words that quietness that erupts in an emotional connection while observing and seeing again, as from the eyes of a child. I also find myself re-living feelings of childlike wonder when photographing. Perhaps that is part of its attraction to so many people. Congratulations on a wonderful series with poignant reflections.
