I have been tagged - shadow of Dyuman

I have been tagged by my friend bubblegumgirlz.
I have been tagged earlier also like other unfortunate Flickr-friends
. I have been asked by my friend to tag five others as a part of this
game. This is the unfortunate part that I have to tag some who may
feel it not comfortable (like me) to come out. But I am rendered
helpless by my friend bubblegumgirlz!
1. My birth month is July and I'm a cancerian
2.My first love is reading and the next is writing
3.I do not like photography much contrary to people's belief.
4.Religiosity -I dislike most.I believe that the days of religions are
gone. The God appears now to be too great to be defined in the
conventional systems of religions.
5.I believe in One-World.
6.Like all the normal people I love my wife, son and my daughter and
they also enjoy my presence.
7.I am very shy especially with the women folk.
8.I was chain smoker a year ago as it was my first love. I quitted it
and still not feeling well without it. I have never taken alcohol in
my life.
9.I like Tagore-songs very much. Once I knew almost all the 2500 odd of them.
10.My good wishes to you all.
Namaste.

shadow reveals

You can see a thing in light and you can in shadow also.
Sometimes the shadows reveal the truth that is hidden in light.
I know that you do not like to take it for granted. So would you
please tell me that whether I can be better represented through my
photograph? You will miss my mind in my photo and perhaps you will
misread me.

Love

my painted corner

I was born in a beautiful place-Ranchi in the then Bihar of India.
Ranchi was favourite of the English people for its natural beauty and
climate. It was the summer capital of the governer of Bihar.
Ranchi was not a wet place like Bengal. So whenever I came to Calcutta
in my childhood I became sad. There was no tree in Calcutta no forest,
no brook near it-and no hyena roaming around in the city street in the
night. Their was no fear and no delight! So I wanted to return to my
birthplace.
I can not return to Ranch now as none can return to one's childhood!
It has never been possible for me then to love Bengal and love my adulthood!
I was long lost in the forest of Ranchi.

From the train

While returning from Southern India this image was taken by my
daughter from the train. The train was passing through Andhra
Pradesh-a province of India. We were returning from Chennai.
