Very quietly, my other blogs, the photoblog - Imaging Oblivion © ® and the Geo-political space - Thoughts of a Geo-political Observer © ®, are coming of age. They are now 20 and 15 months old respectively and are striving to shirk off their fledgling state while showcasing some unique and interesting depictions and points of view!
For me, nothing seems to be more rewarding than to see my creative actions being well appreciated and received in the right spirit. There, perhaps, is no equal to a feeling that evokes a sense of elation when one witnesses his own conception take wings! More importantly, these exercises continue to help me advance a long cherished dream, one that involves furthering one's passion above all else, in an attempt to remain happy at all times, and to be able to understand the world around!
It is a very content and happy feeling to be able to connect with people far and wide and to gain an understanding of different perspectives, and attempt to comprehend the driving forces behind every creative action, no matter how insignificant it may appear to be. In doing so, I believe, one broadens the scope of one's own horizon, allowing much to be seen and understood, in a rather equitable state of being!
As always, thank you for your kind patronage!

My new blog on Geo-politics
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free
-- Gospel of John 8:32, The Holy Bible / Also found at the entrance of the CIA headquarters
I'm often told to be a lot less serious than what I project myself to be! Those part of the inner circle laugh at this! Talk about the many masks one wears! Anyhow, harping on this comment, I wanted to reflect myself even more seriously to the inner of my own self and a tad bit outside too! Justifying one's life, at all times, after all should be a constant endeavour of every human being, I believe!
So, the thought of writing some more serious stuff motivated me, more than ever before, and thus was born Rakesh Vanamali, the thoughts of a geo-political observer! As if I wasn't writing some serious stuff, already??? ;)
I want to introduce you to my new space, which will carry some very pointed and analytical thoughts on the geo-political scenario in India and across the world, and how I believe these situations will shape our foreign policies, approach to general issues and so on ....... more of politico-system, socio-specific type rantings!
I must tell you that this comes as a result of a compulsive need to analyze the socio-political apparatus and is not motivated by what some people think is an influence by the Company, the Firm, La Piscine or some other secret service! I assure that I'm too small a fry for such adventure and in the same breath also assure you that Intelligence, secondary of course, will form an extensive part of this space, which is as a result of a very high admiration for the trade itself, and some folks namely B. Raman, Peter Coates, Nikolas Gvosdev, Brahma Chellaney and Vikram Sood, to name a few!
As always, with utmost humility, I seek your goodwill that will enable me to be better than what I currently am, as in the aspect of learning and development, which I so truly and ardently seek. Do feel free to critique what you may see, for such an action will only thrust me forward, to attain my goal.
