Second Choice

Right to left, left to right

On the threshold of another life

Glitter and glamour, on your right

Forbidden fruit on the other side

Safe the road, that goes her way

Goodness, fairness all have their say

No questions asked, come what may

The forbidden fruit's for another day

Indecisive, perhaps too far down

Choices of the two propound

Theories and stories around

All today, tomorrow bound

Dots and dashes to let it be

Flow with the current, constantly

Creepy "what ifs", why should you see

Coz it's no one but silly me

All is well, and yet not fine

We have both moved on in time

We must both now tow the line

A major change in what was mine

There in the wild there is a noise

And echoes there yesterday's voice

In that wild you had to choose

And I was the second choice

Snapshots of life - 3

This photograph was taken at Panhala fort. We wanted to capture the ethereal blend of the ancient fort and the pure white moonlight. This picture(a personal favorite) was clicked without flash using ISO settings. It somehow reminds me of Alladin's genie. The astute jinn revealing the secrets of the universe to a curious mortal while the moon lights up their existance.

Dark Silhouettes in the beautiful, soft moonlight, the cold stone walls resonating stories of the thousands of yesterdays- of kings and wars, the sagacious speaker and the devoted listener....
