Shruti - she would prefer to listen and think
in different directions rather than in oppositions,
to meet the full circle of her portrait.
she would not be imposed upon
but chivy her way out of one who chivies her.
her good vibes weave her porous boundaries
textured between her inside and out
to find beautiful ways for us.
as the willy whale dives and disappears
before the final sunset, the sun down several times
horizon shaped, waves movement in foreground;
a constant oscillation between
the grasping of meaning and its loss,
nothing is lost; everything belongs.
the sun sets and the music just expands...
each sun-set matures - impressions of the moment
be that as it may be a temporal horizon
the estimated temporal horizon of its effect
was not meant to be limited to that moment.
wavy unruly curls; not fickle minded she is.
between the waves of our mind, we meet her
to find an unexpected conjuration.
therein lies hidden promise in her portrait
layered in a particular relation
between space and time
and suddenly the light enough the sight
life through the eyes of a beautiful dream
certain ghost suddenly being out of that time
hovering in these spaces infinite,
we end up going in circles of 8-fold skies.
in the final frontier, after scaling all the heights
won one but none in a galaxy of stories.
then, we cannot hide our gravity of mistakes.
how come you can't fly anymore?
where you gonna hide this time
we are all passengers on the same ship.
hesitant, we all returned to our bubbles
broom broom, abrasive forces back in the game.
tangles a series of beseeching questions;
struck on the breastbone? the bare soul.
opposite waves shaping presence-absence
contrary dimensions of lived experience.
portrait takes shape in the constant abrasion
of the relationships of our estimated horizons
respectful approach to an ocean of materials
some thoughts, just a bud. others in full bloom.
'here', upon this bank and shoal of time.
she retains an unfinished magic
that retains pure possibility of beauty
and ocean-full promise to be unfolded in time.
spaciousness offered to inner experience
harmonizing energy flows unhindered.
the smoke knows if there is wind
flashes of emotional vulnerability in honesty
she shines and vibrates with authenticity;
buffered. each breath, fiercely, gracefully...
back to the epigraph of her Nazakat
to photograph her best is to see the familiar
breeze through the liminal moments
and respirate the immortal fragrance
. ’ .. She reminds me of now and now and now.
　　 I must learn to have been so lucky.

Candid portrait of Shruti at a cafe in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand.
The shot captures the play of light and shadows on her portraiture while we were sitting in the open with only a globe light lighting our table.

Holi or Dol Purnima (Rang Panchami), the festival of colour is celebrated in all over the country with great festivity and joy. On this day, people come out wearing pure white clothes and gether together in a common place where they play it with gay abandon.

Shruti Moghe.
I've been meaning to do a shoot like this for a long long while now but when Shruti gave me a call in the second half of last year, I knew she would feature in my first "baby bump" photoshoot. :)
This photo is a result of complete teamwork: Shruti for the concept, Mangesh (her hubby) for the flying sari and me for the light/framing and other such boring things. :D
Catch one more from this shoot on my facebook page.
