My Scholarship entry - Sam Dunes - A Desert I have visited
India | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 4 photos
After education ruined me, curiosity took over – what are other places around me? What different kind of cultures? This curiosity took me to different places in India and outside.
I want to showcase – Rajasthan. It is a popular Indian destination known for its Grandeur, Heritage, Architecture, Culture and Desert. I looked at Rajasthan at its Sam dunes in Jaisalmer in a lateral world - it gave me a perfect setup to my perspective of “Urban Mannequins”. I always had this idea that we are just posing in front urban paparazzi – the not coming to an end, performance in front of world. The desert gave the perfect ramp – sun the perfect flash and I just clicked it. It all made sense at ones. We are just posing – playing our part.
Jaisalmer’s sand dunes despite its ferocity and lack of life sustaining give lessons of life – I would call it a spiritual abode. Seen without human spirit is just a desert, which does not acknowledge human existence. But the nomadic human spirit is so relentless and dynamic that it keeps on exploring in the unknowns – look for meaning of life – keep the spirit high – preserve it – own it – salute it!
