VIVID HUES

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Vivid.”

The colours were absolutely vivid and a myriad of them emerged when they touched the water. – Thekkady, Kerala.

THE DAKSHINACHITRA LIBRARY: A TREASURE TROVE FOR ART LOVERS

I climbed up the staircase. On my way up, I saw a lovely set of yellow lampshades decorating the white wall on my left. A beautiful lady dressed in hues of kumkum red, holding an instrument in her hand, adorned with traditional jewellery lent the lampshade an ethnic tinge. There was something about the decor that made me like the place at once.

As I climbed further, I reached a corridor. I turned left and found the glass door that opened into the world where I believe I belonged. I pushed the door and entered. Wooden cabinets with glass doors were lined in a row. One glimpse at what they housed was enough to tell me that the next hour was going to be spent there.
