Virtual visual and imaginary..

..it is not just my world or anybody's for always world, the world belongs to each one for as long he lives, life is ever lasting but man is mortal, life goes on , so does the world just the special affects in everyone's lives circle around him the one in the lead role, every scene has a story and every listener has his own interpretation that suits his self interest, every narrative has as many versions as their are spectators , it's what tickles their senses, some enjoy the storyline others the picture yet others characters and yet others dressing up, or colors or casting portrayals or a point they discover for themselves others find their own versions of the narrative, when we lived in shimla a hillstation an attraction for the tourists now is my mom s birthplace then it used to be part of old bigger undivided Punjab, papa was Lahore product, both married in Delhi in independent country, their fathers were friends and went to the same club, sat down together and spent time drinking together
Papa once returned from his tour and explained he had eaten in a five star hotel and straight went off to bed , the driver say down to have a small gossip with a cup of tea explaining he ate in a village dhabha the old fashioned traditional food eaten daily saag, maki roti, lassi in long metal glass, and there were no furniture except coir charpai with a durrie spread over the cots placed in a veranda ,
.next morning papa was put in to the witness box to tell the truth and nothing else except the truth, the two versions of the same trip by the two men varied so much, papa said it was a five star hotel, the driver said it was a village, well both were telling their own narrative believing it was the whole truth, partly both were half right half wrong, it was a village set up in the claridge's
I like sketching, pencil sketching now replaced with mobile pictures, instant any time like ATM, editing is possible in a limited way, the digital camera I have put away five years ago that I used after buying in 2008, I liked Flickr and other picture apps , my storage space filled up quickly and now I am taking it slowly at a daily pace, same thing with different versions, various angles of shapes sizes structures
