   I like the way the forgotten doors are documented here. Above all I feel the artistic elements are strong here.

    Hello.
    The colors of war.
    Even in their destroyed state, they have a certain beauty to them and each with its own story to tell. Great shots Ranadive! Thanks for sharing.

    Your ability to personify and fantasize things and concepts really makes me wonder…..!The domain of imagination is highly sensitive and creative in your case;never thought there could be such a unique feature behind objects we usually neglect or overlook….the attempt to illustrate and unveil a true fairy tale is grand and praiseworthy….overwhelming images….!

    Ranadive, this is a stunning photo-essay of door and windows. I have always relished looking at doors (strange fascination I seem to enjoy!). The doors in your post are such nostalgic renderings of a past – the historicity, culture and heritage. You must do an exhibition of such a talent. These doors are not just doors – but a relation to the people who once lived in the dwellings – their history, lives — indeed, a “warrior” sense. Thrilling post! Cheers.

    thank you for finding me i am delighted to have found your blog, your photography speaks so much to me! i LOVE these doors and i too have had a passion to photograph these…doors and windows, passages to other levels of consciousness. I especially like the first blue door and the last photo.

        Loved your Theyam post, but was not able to comment! Strangely, the Theyam or “Bhoota Kola” as we call it, in my childhood home in Mangalore took place yesterday and I so wanted to document it for my blog! Couldn’t make it though, and don’t have very many pics from before. Thank you for leading me to this post and all the likes, comments and follow Will likely be spending a while exploring your wonderful blog!
