Stray Birds -- the Photo Poetry Exhibition

Apart from being a book of poems, Stray Birds is also the name of the Photo Poetry exhibition currently ongoing at Goethe-Zentrum.

The exhibition comprises of 25 large (12X18 inches) and 24 medium (10X12 inches) size, artistically framed, high quality prints of bird photographs (guaranteed to not lose colour for at least 5 years) and some of the bird poems from Stray Birds (the book).

These are photographs that will grace any wall (at home or office) and add a birdy touch to any environment, and yours for the taking (after the duration of the exhibition; ask at Goethe-Zentrum for more details).

The exhibition is open from 9.30 in the morning to 5.30 in the evening and on till the 23rd of June.

So hurry, go see a stray bird in the eye!

Thursday the 13th, June 2013, a grand evening

The title more or less says it all.

It was a grand evening indeed.

Was this my best "book release" ever?

I don't know.





But I must say I was blown away, by the turnout, by the amazing professionalism of the guys at Goethe-Zentrum (specifically Anna) and the fact that I sat in between the one and only Aasheesh Pittie and the one and only Vijay Marur. 

The best part of the evening was when a nice lady wanted me to sign two books for her with "birds" added to "wish you all the best in life".

A big thank you to all who came over braving the rain

A bigger thank you to Anna, Mercy and Amita for putting up with my "first show" jitters and resultant delays.

An even more bigger thank you to my brother Sashi, if not for his stewardship, I would have been headed towards Hussein Sagar with an auto load of prints and frames.

The birdman is happy and humbled, thank you everyone.

Some of the pics of the event are here

About the film

Nurtured in war and turmoil, raised in fragile
democracies, the first post-Communist generation of young men and women from Central and Eastern Europe is now poised to play a leading role in the world. In Lost and Found, six young filmmakers from this region present their personal views on the subject of “generation” and the many changes that sometimes separate them radically from the generation of their parents….In Lost and Found, a generation takes a look at itself – and confidently asserts its position in a new Europe.
