I
was asked to take a few pictures with the theme “Conflict”. Needless to say, I
was conflicted. My imagination failed to cooperate and I kept wondering, what
could I click with that theme? Have you ever had that experience when you sit
in an examination room, the question paper in hand, unable to remember the
answer to any of the questions? You feel you have blanked out, and there you
sit, trying to calm yourself and remember something. You reread the questions
and slowly, the answers start to dawn on you one by one. I had the same
feeling.
I unpacked my collection of jewelry, stuff the ladies
back at home have lovingly gifted me in the past. One by one, I put them all on
my left hand. It reminded me of those TV contests where the participants had to
do something crazy in a limited time. It was harder than I thought- collecting
different bangles, bracelets, wristlets, and what not. Then there were rings,
finger rings, ear rings, all forcibly fitted into each of my stubby fingers.
Next, I sorted through the packs of “bindis” I had, and put them on the back of
my hand, one by one. Finally, I had to hold on to lipsticks, eyeliners, and eye
pencils.
The photo shoot was not without some accidents. I went
out in the sun to get some bright pictures. While taking close up pictures of
my clownishly colorful left hand, I accidentally dropped my favorite lipstick
on the floor, and lost a chunk of it. The eyeliner must have gone dry by the
time I was done. Anyway, after a few dozen clicks, I was happy with a few of
them. Here take a look at the craziest colorful conflicted picture I have.
