fluvial zeal.
It’s a treat if we can get the graceful and dashing Redmoon Betta flaunting its beautiful feathers captured. This is the best visuals I’ve got so far. Aquatic zeal on full throttle.
Fishes: Redmoon Betta, Neon tetras.

fragments of pathways.
It’s those small moments that add up as we inch towards our new day, new destinies and new experiences. Remember when we spoke of sonder? We also revisited it recently in a video with traffic blur. The bulk of our lives are those simple moments. While living in the ordinary and mundane, this is missed. Often it is rediscovered in the quietude of our every-day.
“As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness — just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.”
― Laura Ingalls Wilder
birds to Chennai.
This is an addition to our moving images archive. This is a mashup of some visuals at Chennai airport. The airport shuttle bus helped to get those crispy pan shots. I did some color corrections as well. I liked the bright colors of the aircraft’s ground services vehicles.
“And like no other sculpture in the history of art, the dead engine and dead airframe come to life at the touch of a human hand, and join their life with the pilot’s own.”

aqua caper
Today let’s add a chapter to our moving images archive. Hope you’ve read Story de’ aquatics, where we talked about, amateurish aquascaping. In the signature style of the Border of a Mind, we’re gazing at those beautiful little moments of aqua fauna embellishing the tank with their grace.
“A layout that is crafted with overly great finesse is tiring to look at, and it is also difficult to maintain over a long period of time…It is important to provide an unpretentious, casual atmosphere of water and greenery. The very atmosphere creates harmony between the surrounding space and the aquarium.“
– Takashi Amano
traffic blur | recollecting ‘sonder’.
Last year, we talked about sonder.
sonder n. “The realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.”
While returning from work, I recollected “sonder” when I gazed at the traffic blur. So, this would be sort of a moving image version of the earlier post. Traffic time-lapses are one of my favourite ones to capture. It figurately connotes the dynamism of life.
