Wheel of Life
The Self is the hub of the wheel of life,
And the sixteen forms are only the spokes.
The Self is the paramount goal of life.
Attain this goal and go beyond death!

- Prashna Upanishad

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared...Gautam Buddha


in hurry
he forgot to say
good bye
god wanted
him urgently
for a photo shoot
god loved
prof bw jatkar
from mumbai
the marathi manoos
with his magic eye
pictures
that never fade
memories
nostalgia
deep emotions
bound to PSI
his dear and loving wife
an apple of his eye
he leaves her behind
a son and shivani
for better prospects
beyond the heavenly sky
with a loud baritone voice
people thought
he was a tough guy
but he was god fearing
humble hospitable
would never hurt a fly
he taught me
how to shoot seagulls
flying high
the Alibagh
bullock cart race
on Holi
in a white safari
panning moments
passing by
gokulashtami
dahi handi
ganpati visarjan
nothing missed
his camera eye
his only best friend
kg maheshwari
in suit boot and tie
digitally creating drama
hidden from public eye
uncoil the serpent
use kundalini in
photography
unleash the fire
his words of wisdom
brings tears to my eye
death is for those
who are scared of living
photographers
like Prof BW Jatkar
never die
