There were some accolades and listed before 2010 that I may have lost track of.

Ex-Hotelier, customer service, communications. Two decades of corporate slavery. Now, slave to my imagination.

Now, about ImaGeees :

A picture tells a thousand stories. As cliched it may sound, it holds true for every image ever frozen in a moment. A moment that belongs to only that emotion, that expression, that feeling, that bonding, that loss, that sadness one felt when the moment was captured.

A moment that belongs to only that one emotion, that unique expression, that singular feeling, that tickle of thrill, that sense of loss, the momentary sadness, the gush of love that crossed one’s heart when that moment was captured.

Images immortalize a moment. Much after the fresh flowers captured lovingly by then lover wilted before dawn and found resting space under the heap of unrequited love, much after leaf absorbs the dewdrop and save it in its roots for a harsh sunny day, that moment, that one moment frozen in an image, stays on as a reminder of the travelogue of life one never wrote, one always intended to be scripted.

 Words. Words are frames around the images, to give them a shelf 
 space,adding before and the aftermath, much after the moment 
 captured hadpassed. Words because the hollowness of certain images 
 may gravitate one into a dark hole, the first sunlight may never see a sunset in
 the same frame without words. The closure may elude a moment forever.
 The closure may never happen in one lifetime or next.

Thank you for stopping by. May you find a bit of you in the stories shared here, in verse, words, images. travel tales and life musings.
