From Jellikkettu, bull run/fight, 2012, Tamilnadu, India

Somehow this photo I happen to take few years ago depicts the current crytpo currency markets. I find it ironic that the bull is surging here though people say its a bear market.

The reality is that, people will gets crushed underneath even once the bull lands on the ground.


Jallikattu, aka the sport of taming the bull for a price money seemed to be our way to defeat nature, tame the beasts of uncertainty and celebrate all the good things of humanity – courage, commitment, patience valor. And yes, if one doesn’t celebrate life it does invite the wrath of Gods. We used to celebrate and had Jelikattu among many other things. Thus it happened for a thousand years. Or from the days we walked on two legs.
But, somewhere we lost the balance and what we see today is a fight for survival, the fighters don’t show valor, the bulls doesn’t feel it, they are scared. Chained and in the shadows of uncertainty, on a path nowhere both man and beast, past and the nothingness of future fights here within the double barricades.
Both men and beast looses. Nothingness wins.
inevitability. period.
