Complacency is overrated! You need to stretch yourself & get out of your comfort zone to unleash your creative potential.
Here’s a peek at my first ever videography project submitted as part of a competition arranged by IBIS hotels and Nikon MEA. Appreciate if you can like and share the video at this Facebook link and/or this instagram link. Constructive criticism is more than welcome. Cheers!

Since the sun makes its impression
Till the starry sky’s succession
You’re my number one obsession
There you have it, my confession
When you are the point in question
I lose all sense of direction
You’re my deed and my intention
Hope you’ll pardon my regression
Learn to cut out all detraction
Try and read through this redaction
Oh, the core of my affection
You’re my only plan of action
All the world is a distraction
It’s at odds with our attraction
You’re my freedom of expression
Rest is naught but an abstraction
Bound by fate, we are a faction
We won’t ever be a fraction
No addition or subtraction
What we have is pure perfection

Demons fighting in my sleep
Monsters rising from the heap
Nightmares keeping me awake
More of this, I cannot take
Wake up and I figure out
How to get rid of self-doubt
I will have a big yard sale
Set up everything to scale
Put my feelings on display
Everything must go today
Buckets of false hope for free
Jealousy in packs of three
Complex webs of greed hand-spun
Take the hatred, I am done
Get my worries, two for one
Bottled sadness, I want none
Stacks of guilt, I’m done with these
Paid all my subscription fees
What is left I will discard
Should not really be that hard
When my yard is all cleared up
Of this life I’ve had enough
I will pack up all my bags
Dress myself in simple rags
To the beach, I will head out
Take the solitary route
Won’t have anything to hide
Joy and I’ll enjoy the ride
Smile and sing along the way
Up until we reach the bay
Sip some sunshine from a glass
Watch the happy faces pass
Wash the remnants, dark and grim
In free waters, I shall swim

I’m a firm believer in second chances; here’s my other entry for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge.
Parades are vibrant, lively affairs. The costumes, the glitz, the grandeur, the smiles, everything reminds you of life and how it is meant to be lived.
Here’s an homage to celebrating life to the fullest!
Insanity at its best!
