Clouds Of Japan

Tokyo is a city on the move. With a sense of calm hurriedness that can only be best experienced in a crowded metro. Or when the welcome note to the rented apartment mentions “by the way, there may be earthquakes. Don’t Panic”. Or like Typhoon Jebi is raging on and the resolute Japanese fight back with calm! ..
The Japanese are used to clouds. In a sad way too. But it doesn’t take long for you to notice they don’t let it cloud their way of living.

Traveller Or Tourist?

“when all is said and done, much more remains to be said and done”.

At the end of the Chicago leg of this travel, @flyohare ’s elevators say goodbye in a shiny memorable way!
“The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see”. Thats G.K.Chesterton. Now that I dint come to see the elevators, I guess I am a traveller! 🙂 

Another morning. Another airport.
What seemed to be a car turned out to be an assortment of lights. Carefully arranged and neatly placed. Choreography rules the world. Orchestration is the new order.
Amidst all the glitz an old friend walks in and catches me by surprise. “You haven’t changed one bit”
“I am glad you looked”

A moment. A hug. A smile.
Orchestration’s reach is beyond us. Thankfully.

From a big plane’s window it looks like a small plane. There is a difference I tell myself, even as I dismiss it by its size! Size after all is a matter of perspective.

I remind myself : This seat is mine for this journey. That plane is his. There is a difference there! 🙂

Our perches are not us!

Do you just take off and land or do you really fly?

Do you just see flowers by the road or have you noticed them in full bloom?

Do you notice the things that you notice and the things that you don’t?

Do you see that they are not about the things themselves, but about the thing inside you. Called life.

What do you keep in the background? What do you focus on? These are important lessons for a photographer.

Ages ago, as I fiddled with my first camera I got talking to someone to whom the camera was but an extension of his arm.

He said, I remember clearly, ‘a good photographer learns what to include in the frame. You get better by learning to keep out EVERYTHING that doesn’t add to the picture’

That lesson, I have learnt. applies to business. And to life as well.

Space is a question of the mind. If you think there is. If you think there isn’t, well, there won’t be! Even if there is!

What they call as an ‘abundance mindset’ is a function of the mind. To be open and boundaryless in the mind accomplishes far more than what hierarchy can.

To have a seat at the table, doesn’t require a table. Or a seat for that matter.

Travel teaches abundance. For when you travel you look at the ‘them’ and ‘us’. Only to realise when the chairs are empty, anybody can sit! All of us are in the same ship.
