Saw this old man in Varanasi who spent atleast half an hour sincerely trying to fix his glasses. It was just a simple piece of thread that had come off and he was trying to tie it on either ends of the specs. The way he went about it suggested that simple piece of thread was the only thread he could afford. Made me realise that things we consider as insignificant holds a lot of significance for many others.

Sometimes I wish I could be like Alice in Wonderland, and shrink or grow to amazing proportions. It would certainly make "seeing" certain images easier. Until then though, you may find me from time to time on my knees in the moss, crouched over a Hasselblad that's nestled in a bed of springy green, waiting for the moment to be just right.
Though outwardly a gloomy shroud,
The inner half of every cloud
Is bright and shining:
I therefore turn my clouds about
And always wear them inside out
To show the lining.

The Canadian National Vimy Memorial is a war memorial site in France dedicated to the memory of Canadian Expeditionary Force members killed during the First World War. It also serves as the place of commemoration for Canadian soldiers of the First World War killed or presumed dead in France who have no known grave. The 30 metre monument is the centrepiece of a 100-hectare (250-acre) preserved battlefield park that encompasses a portion of the ground over which the Canadian Corps made their assault during the initial Battle of Vimy Ridge offensive of the Battle of Arras.
The Battle of Vimy Ridge was the first time all four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force participated in a battle as a cohesive formation, and it became a Canadian national symbol of achievement and sacrifice. France ceded to Canada perpetual use of a portion of land on Vimy Ridge on the understanding that Canada use the land to establish a battlefield park and memorial. Wartime tunnels, trenches, craters, and unexploded munitions still honeycomb the grounds of the site, which remains largely closed off for reasons of public safety. Along with preserved trench lines, several other memorials and cemeteries are contained within the park.
