“Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!

Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be humen too...”
(“Wan'na Be Like You” by Louis Prima - “The Jungle Book” - 1967)

This is a portrait of King Louis who wants to be a human.
This expressive langur was the first animal I met while entering into the jungle of Bandhavgarh in the Indian state Madhya Pradesh.

[as Kaa is about to eat Mowgli, Shere Khan pulls on his tail, which makes a doorbell sound]
Kaa: Ooh! Oh, now what? I'll be right down. Yes, yes, who is it?
Shere Khan: It's me. Shere Khan. I'd like a word with you, if you don't mind.
Kaa: Shere Khan, what a surprise.
Shere Khan: Yes, isn't it. I just dropped by. Now forgive me if I've interrupted anything.
Kaa: Oh no, no, nothing at all.
Shere Khan: [brandishing his claws] I thought perhaps that you were entertaining someone up there in your coils.
Kaa: Coils? Someone? Oh no, I was just curling up for my siesta.
Shere Khan: But you were singing to someone. Who is it, Kaa?
[Shere Khan grabs Kaa's throat with his paw]
Kaa: Ah, um, oh no, I was just singing, uh, to myself.
Shere Khan: Indeed.
Kaa: Yes... yes, you see I have... trouble with my sinuses.
Shere Khan: What a pity!
Kaa: Oh, you have no idea. It's simply terrible. I can't eat, I can't sleep, so I ssssssing myself to sleep. You know, self-hypnosis. Let me show you how it works.
[Kaa prepares to look in Shere Khan's eyes and try to hypnotize him]
(from the movie “The Jungle Book” - 1967)

Deep in the jungle of Bandhavgarh in the Indian state Madhya Pradesh this beautiful tiger was waiting for us, soon another one joined and both stayed with us during more than 45 minutes.

Strange Legends

“Many strange legends are told of these jungles of India, but none so strange as the story of a small boy named Mowgli.
It all began when the silence of the jungle was broken by an unfamiliar sound.“
(Bagheera in the motion picture “The Jungle Book” - 1967)

On the top of a hill lost in the jungle of Bandhavgarh in the Indian state Madhya Pradesh, there are the remains of old temples and palaces where tigers like to spend their days.
This was shot there at sunrise when everything all around seems to be still sleeping.

A Dreamer Among the Humblest

“I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.”
(Kahlil Gibran - Lebanese American artist, poet, and writer, 1883 – 1931)

This Sadhu was sleeping at Munsi ghat in Varanasi (Benaras).
It was before sunset when the golden light was reflecting from the holy waters of the Ganges providing a dreamy atmosphere to the oldest living city in the world.
Whenever I talk to those ascetic men I find out that most of them had a diferent life before, sometimes with a wife and children, and a job.
One day they left the modern world for this life where they realize their dreams with visions...

Those past days I was too busy to make a picture with me in order to celebrate my 10 000 new viewers like I always do.
Thank YOU all, you have been 216 284 Flickr viewers, 65 232 Ipernity viewers and 85 719 visitors on my Worpress photo-blog.
I really appreciate your support, kind comments and mails.

This picture was shot last Saturday evening at Queritica Gallery in Varanasi (Benaras) while the Culture Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Subhash Pandey was visiting my photo exhibtion “THE GOLDEN HOURS - A daydream in Benaras”.

With this image I wanted to thank Yogesh Agrawal who kindly invited me to show my work in his gallery which is facing the Ganges where most of my pictures were taken.
I also want to thank Swami Avimukteswaranand Saraswati who opened the show, the Culture Minister for his kind words, my friends and Indian family for their support, and the visitors who gave a significance to my work, showing that whoever we are we are all brothers and sisters.

What'd I do?

“The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death.
I really didn't know what all the yelling was about.
I didn't realize that my body was moving.
It's a natural thing to me.
So to the manager backstage I said 'What'd I do? What'd I do?'”
(Elvis Presley - American Singer and Actor widely known as the "King of Rock and Roll", 1935-1977)

A group of dancers had to perform in front of officials, like the minister of culture of Uttar Pradesh at Assi ghat along the Ganges in Varanasi (Benaras).
I managed to go backstage in order to take a few pictures.
This lady was doing her make-up, she was concentrating on the image that the mirror was giving back, I don’t know what she was really feeling then.
I didn’t ask as I didn’t want to disturb.
Those days there are many exhibtions, concerts and shows going on. in the city reflecting the culture of the oldest living city in the world...

This is one more picture from the serie shot last afternoon in my street in Varanasi (Benaras).
Men were emptying plaster bags from a truck and they were reminding me “butoh” dancers.
