I always wonder how many subjects are there in this world. We can calculate the number of population of humans, animals, birds, trees etc. But this world is constitute of so many identified and unidentified creatures or subjects.
As a human, it’s not possible to concentrate on all these subjects simultaneously. But it’s always better to try and look at as many subject as possible; it does not matter if it’s small or a large one. Every subject has a purpose; each subject has its own beauty; we only need to spend few moment looking at it, analyzing it and appreciating it.
I do believe that every subject which looks simple and common has something big in it. The thing is that, maximum of us realize its worth. That’s why it looks common to all ad it’s purpose looks very simple.
This above picture may look very simple. But for me it speaks a lot. It inspires me. It’s not a picture of two subjects; those are car and a bicycle. But it’s a picture of a journey towards dream. When I was a kid I have only a bicycle with me, like all other kids of my country who born and brought up in small towns. During those days, we might be riding the bicycle but there was a dream to ride a car in all of our eyes. And we knew, we had to make this journey from a bicycle to a luxurious car by our own. And we also knew the bicycles that were in our hands those days would help us reach there.
There are millions of vehicles run each day on the same road. There size, power, specifications may be different. But all have their own purpose to run on the road. And the biggest thing is all reach to their destination. Some reach there early some late.
Similarly, there are billions of people in this planet walk towards their dreams having different talents, different strengths and different weakness. So why we all can’t reach to our destination. Some of us may reach there early and some of us late. But what we all need to do is to keep the confidence and believe with us; while fight with every odd things that would happen to us during this journey.
With the hope that- “If you are not living your dreams till now; you will reach there soon.” I am saying you good bye …. 🙂

Colourful images for the Theme Arindam. Love the Tuk Tuk / Bus shot and the bicycle with the car. We should all reach for the moon in our dreams but expect to plateau off somewhere that we find comfortable along the way 🙂
Arindam

Arindam, this is a very nice interpretation of this week’s theme 🙂
very true, most of the photos carry more than one subject. But it predominatly focuses on one, the rest comes with the background.
I liked all of your photos.
but the one with the two contrasting vehicles is just awesome 🙂
Arindam
April 14, 2012
Thanks a lot Amira for taking your time to visit my blog. It’s always a pleasure to see you here. I am glad you like this one. This week’s challenge of posting photos with two subjects was quite a challenge. But thank god I got something to post this week. 🙂

Beautiful photos as always, Arindam, and a true story behind each one. I was caught by your frond and moon photo — but I have to say my favorite was the bicycle sitting by the car, because of the way you described it. I hope you have your car now, my friend.
Arindam

Thanks a lot Melissa. 🙂 I captured that photo of full moon on the eve of Easter. The view of moon in the sky was really beautiful. No I do not have my own car yet, May be next year. 🙂

The key to reaching your destination, I think, is in never giving up. Sometimes it takes a while to get there but if you believe you can, then there is nothing to stop you.

Amazing images but more amazing are the intense, real, powerful words. You have a gift Bro to inspire others with your words that are filled with feelings and insights. Thank you for sharing and for this, ““If you are not living your dreams till now; I just wish that- you will reach there soon.” Everyone needs a piece of this thought. Everyone deserves to reach their dream and find that subject that will give them happiness. stay blessed my friend.
Arindam
April 17, 2012
Thanks a lot bro. But to be honest, rather than inspiring others, I always try to inspire myself through my writing. May be I want to inspire everyone to do which we are capable of & appreciate every thing life offers us. 🙂

All interesting pictures but I really like the first one. I was attracted to the simplicity of the composition and I also really like the green.
You asked why we can’t reach our destination and I think the reason we can’t all reach our destination is because even though our destinations are the same, we don’t realize that and as jealous creatures, rather than focus on our own destination, we feel we need to dictate the destinations of everyone else.
Arindam
April 19, 2012
Thanks a lot Michael. 🙂
Your reason of why we all can’t reach to our destination is so true. Even I think & believe the same. We all jealous creatures rather than focusing on our own job always try to pull someone else’s leg. May be I can say, rather than trying to be winner we try to make someone else loser so that we can call ourselves as winners. Thanks you for this thoughtful comment Michael. I am glad to see you here. 🙂

i enjoyed reading your post, especially the part where you speak of your own personal journey toward a dream, using the bike and the car as metaphors. that was awesome! i also like the photo you shot of the moon and the palm leaf. 🙂 thanks for passing by my blog too and taking the time to leave a comment. have a wonderful day!

Again a handful of lovely photographs as personal statements. My favourite pictures is definitely the car and the bike. And you are very right. It’s not just a picture of a car and a bike. You know why? Because you put your heart and feelings and associations into the making of the photograph. That is why it stands out as a photograph, a very personal and visionary statement.
Arindam
April 19, 2012
Thanks a lot Sir Otto. 🙂 I am glad that the message I wanted to transmit with that “Car & bike” photograph reached you. Your posts about creativity always inspires me to do something different with an honest approach with in my limitation. And as I have told you before, my limitation is that I have very little knowledge about technicality of photography. So feedback like this that to be from such a talented person like you always inspire me to bring something good to this blogosphere. As till now, my blog is the only medium where I can show my creativity. As always a big thank you for inspiring me with your words. 🙂
