I grew up with a book "Day in Life of America" it was a gift to my Dad from his professor when we left USA after dad completed his degree. I remember i use to go through the book many times a day years after years (It was crazy:huh). I seriously wanted to be part of high quality book like that. And here we go :D:D

Prestigious Museum of Islamic Art asked me to contribute in Exhibition and book exploring 7 principles of Islamic Architecture and seven beliefs Islam has emphasized that have shaped the Islamic architecture and it mentions the relashionship between both. Published and organized by Institute of Islamic Arts and Museum Malaysia. Read here

It is a High format book and my photo stretches on 2 pages in start of book. Though it is full of quotes and verses from Koran etc i really loved following lines by Rumi:-
"Be like river in generosity and help
Be like the sun in tenderness and mercy
be like the night in covering the faults of others
Be like the dead in anger and nervousness
Be like the earth in modesty and humility
Be like the sea in tolarance
Be like your appearance or appear like yourself"

Still lot more to read and see...

Image that is published was shot with kit lens and 400D :D
