We humans have been blessed with the sense of perception. Whether it is about a business, a product, or a brand, whether it is the setting sun or the rising waves, the sound of calm or the lull before a storm, a song that you hear or a sight that you see, the spring in full bloom or the winter with its cold gloom . These experiences and perhaps a million more, evoke emotions, memories, desire. A painter tries to capture it on a canvas, a photographer on a film, a writer in words or a musician in the notes.
But, alas, more often than not most of us are so busy with the daily chores, rushing to office, meeting a deadline, picking kids from school, that we fail to see the beauty of the clear blue sky, the rising sun, the hope in those sad eyes, the gravity pulling those tears down.
Soysee (pronounced So-I-see) is an effort to goad you to goad your senses to stop for a few moments, jolt your imagination and caress your thoughts, when you see something that evokes something within you. Soysee is an effort to capture the varying perceptions, sometimes about the same experience, the same event, the same sight, perceived from different lenses. So go ahead, see more, perceive more.
Someone has wisely written,,
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
