Tomorrow's Eid. :) Eid Mubarak.

Insta-June

I don't instagram as much as I used to. I hardly get out of dhanmondi nowadays, and don't spend much time on the road. Here are some photos I took in June.

Changing Homes - Epoch

Changing Homes just released Epoch, the single from the upcoming EP, Sharing Spaces, from Changing Homes. The EP will feature collaborations with different songwriters and musicians, and will be loosely based on the concept of future space travel.

The song still has a few layers that need to be added. We collaborated with Shafkat Rahman, my bandmate from Orfred to write the lyrics for this song. The song was composed by all three of the members from Changing Homes.

Lyrics:

I opened my eyes
to a heavy heartbeat
and the sight of a distant sun.

Stars are only beautiful
from afar.
Reminiscing,
you were right.

Would you fade away,
if I let you,
as your sails catch the light,
light years away?
And would you return
to say that you never happened?

But you were always mine.

Orfred - Boats

Boats

Some spaces are too small
The paint in the corners are
Starting to peel off
And the seeds that you plant
Break out
Legs and hands
Extend to the walls
And crack through the ceiling

Thank God, for the windows

A breath of stale air
From the river in the old town
People come and go on boats
Some leave never to be found

Pale faces always light up for a moment
As they step out from the shadows of a concrete labyrinth
Unsure of what may happen -
But some places are too small
Too crowded and cramped  for your
Thoughts to grow at all

Thank God, there's a way out

Head out to the river
Head out for the boats
Head out to the river
Head out for the boats
Head out to the river
Head out for the boats

inadequate poem

Untitled I once dreamed of cherry blossoms' end When the petals swayed to their demise - Dancing all around us When I tapped her from behind And she took her gaze away from the horizon 
to look at me, Blurred, was the bright-green grass And Greece-blue waters Adjacent to her face; Her face, unstirred It's hard to believe in imagination But there it was one day On a computer screen, Somewhere in Japan, very pink,blue and green There was a garden of cherryblossoms atop hills If you ask me why I choose to believe in that which I cannot see, It is because there is no lesser magic Than to believe in things placed right before your eyes Without surprise -Tilok Adnan finished July 11, 2014

Pleasant Rendezvous

The last time these five people gathered in one place was nearly three years ago. It's wonderful and scary how time separates us and also brings us together, to find that we've all changed, and somehow, haven't changed at all.

doodle - srimongol

my confidence just went down the drain while drawing this. look's like i am not so good with details. or maybe it's just the wacom. pencil and paper suits me well.

anyways, i'd like to visit srimongol again.
