वसंतातील सृष्टीकाव्ये...

शिशिर संपताच निसर्ग आपले रंगरूप पालटू लागतो, कुठे नव्या पालवीचा अन नव्या बहराचा उत्सव तर कुठे जुन्या पर्णपानांचा सरतीचा प्रवास सुरु होतो. सृष्टीतला प्रत्येक घटक..पानं, फुलं, खोड, माती, सुर्याचा एकेक किरण अन वा-याची प्रत्येक झुळूक काव्य निर्माण करु लागतो... अश्याच काही क्षणांना टिपण्याचा हा प्रयत्न...

On the onset of spring, one can witness amazing transformations in the visible elements of the nature..Sun starts shining, when new leaves emerge, old embrace the dust. Nothing goes waste in nature, everything returns to soil and nourish the upcoming. This cycle of nature is thousands of years old and would go on. But there is inspiration in it, there is beauty in it. This is one attempt to see such transformations through lens...


inner conversation...

Inner Conversation of a dying leaf.
