The waves glisten
under the morning sun
Beads of
perspiration sparkle
Competing with the waves.
Nonchalant
of
the warm sun
of the striking waves
of the smooth sand.
Indifferent
to the rhythm of the ocean
to the sway of palms
to the melody of the breeze.
Singing in
chorus
Against the rhythm
Hands working together
All
eyes on the treasure.
To grab the prize
Come what may.
PS : This picture was captured by Naidu sir. He wanted me to describe the scene and what I thought about it. Thanks a lot sir for sharing this picture with me and wanting to know my expressions. Truly amazing, captures the essence of life. I dedicate this to you and Gautam :-)

Very well described.

ReplyDeleteThank you. Mr. Naidu does not blog. He just reads my blog. :-)
ajay,
ReplyDeleteThank you. Absolutely, there is something about the photo...
kish,
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha..yeah! Not at all going the poetic way!! Just tried. :-)
Thanks kavitha
ReplyDeletethe pic is awesome, so is poetry , but cant say anything about poet though :P
ReplyDeletehey insignia,
ReplyDeleteI've submitted my previous post on Indiblogger for 'Jiyo Life Moments Blogger Contest'. I'd appreciate it if you can help promote it:P
P.S-It'll be nice to move to Chennai with a brand new tv:P
Mr Happy,
ReplyDeleteThank you. Glad you liked the pic and the poem. Now how can you say anything about the poet. You dont know her :-P
kish,
ReplyDeleteHmm sure I shall :-)
As Ms. Neha said, I am really very proud of you Insignia. What a description on my photo. Nice that it has come to a correct person like you for a beautiful poetic description.
ReplyDeleteMy special thanks to all the viewers for liking this picture which had a real life when it comes through Insignia.
"Sankamlo posthene neeru theerdham avuthundhi". This is a telugu proverb. Meaning, when water filled up in a Sankam (big shell used in temples) then the water becomes Theerdham. Like wise, my picture got its real value after Insignia's description.
Thank U, Thank U Insignia.
Naidu sir,
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much. I was apprehensive if you would like it, but now I am glad you liked it a lot.
Your picture inspired to come up with those words sir, the picture is really brilliant.
I am honored sir.
Thanks much
This is one of my favorite photos of all time. My daddy has just worked magic with his camera as usual. The poem is so crisp and took me to the very shore, and I felt like I was one amongst them. Thanks Insignia for this wonderful poem.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with what you said daddy, water turns into theertham or holy water when put in a conch. Got goosebumps when I read this line because it clearly portrayed my impression on Insignia who is the conch that made my dad's work into theertham (holy water) with her magic. You are just awesome dear.
I am so sorry that I did not ping you and Neha. :-( I was on a trip to Utah recently. :-p and was out of the loop for a bit. I am now working part time as an embedded engineer but am still trying to look for a full time job here in USA. For this I have to study a hell lot of material, and also concentrate on my current job. Things got a little messed up with 3-4 hours of sleep for the last few months. I will try to get settled fast and jump back to form soon guys. Miss you so much. :-(
Gautam,
ReplyDeleteYes indeed! It seems an ordinary scene but the picture is just breath-taking. It requires an eye to find beauty even in the ordinary of things and your dad has that.
As I told, now I know where you got your talent from. And thanks much sweets, I am really glad you liked my lines. I wanted to put in my best to give full justice to the picture. Im honored to be receiving these appreciation from you and dad.
Oh no issues. Me and Neha would wait. Take care and take time..:-)
Capturing the essence of the pic and expressing it so beautifully in words!! Damn good! :)
