My Photo scholarship 2011 entry
Worldwide | Tuesday, November 8, 2011 | 5 photos
“Watch the stars&from them learn”; this metaphor of Albert Einstein I will use to describe my world view. I walk with my camera in my hand; watch life around me; study (economy, tourism & now geopolitics in India). I write about human pilgrimages – devotion & faith, search for immortal true; sweat drops mixed with dreams & pain; hermits on the road searching for the answers & learning letting no answer be an answer. I'm one of them, member of one of the civilizations, which through the history of human being have been turning eyes on the dark sky of ignorance, searching for stars, symbol of hope & light of wisdom in universe limited only by space & time.Stars were giving them directions.Civilizations drew their maps on the earth surface & parallely imaginary lines on the night sky.Each civilization had its own star constellation usually based on mythology.
Principles of constellation can be applied to any system,group of people, institution or states. In the constellation, a mirror image of society appears.The hierarchy, conflicts of interest or co-operation made visible, reflect the dynamics that operate in social, economic or political systems.And although the stars in any given constellation may look like they're neighbors, they can actually be many light-years apart.Potential conflict situation can look different from different point of look.My question is: Is there really “clash of civilization” or is it only “clash of ignorance”? How far we have to travel to understand, that things, which seem to be far away are closer, than we think?Can tolerance be that third dimension?
P.S:I have thousands photos; each of them is part of the collection of moments.Let me send U postcard,I have sent to my friends from last trip to Goa-1day in Panjim-unknown people&unknown places
