About PROJECT POSTCARDS.

A friend asked me about the PROJECT POSTCARDS and what it is. In a nutshell I'd say it's a project involving photographs – context-specific /irrational imagery, misleading stuff sometimes yet interesting, humour, witty captions that's about it – overall a form of storyboarding... Or individual images that give a message/draw your attention and engage you! Trying something new! Follow the Project Postcards here: http://shamitb.blogspot.com/search/label/%23project_postcards

PROJECT POSTCARDS - RED BUS @ SPEED OF LIGHT EXPERIMENT

Time Dilation, Relativity, Speed of light, matter, photon, Lorentz transformation, Einstein, mass, energy... Sit next to a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. Sit on a red-hot stove for a minute, it seems like an hour. That's relativity. - Albert Einstein

Cover Thy Eyes Plz

Sometimes someone or something captivates you, in its entirety - specifically its mystery, absurdity or maybe beauty, wholesomeness, in a holistic manner. We then attempt to deconstruct and understand but also capture the same through words or strokes from our memory at a later date - although never successful completely or in the same intensity - some satisfaction is obtained, and more than anything it gives a glimpse into the moment!

Dark Dreams. Died Yesterday.

When we desperately dredge for the elusive happiness, bliss and mirth; the reverse can captivate us into murky depths of despair... It is those illusory strums that our mind plays to lure us to dark despair-land - a mysterious realm, painful yet providing some sort of pleasure. When we get engrossed in its tunes... readily following, wallowing in self pity and anxiety. When a simple game unknowingly becomes the essence of life, falsely. You know the futility, the unreal nature of it all - yet you want to cling on, cling on desperately to some distant dream for we know it is unrealistic. So what? We say until it envelops you in its fangs ... that IS when you gain enlightenment. Pain and troubles/failures are our true guiding lights attuning us towards self-actualization and to what is so true to our very nature and nearest to our heart.   The best of times make you edgy and nervous as if you can fall off the cliff - success in conventional terms that is not in sync with your innermo
