Each still has a story to tell. Still Speaking – Volume 2 continues the journey started in the first volume. The routine continues for the author during the COVID days. In this book, he uses the pictures taken from his garden and expresses what those pictures conveyed to him. The combination of the visuals and the lucid accounting of thoughts make the book a gentle and inspiring read.
Still Speaking – Volume 2 emanates a feeling of fulfillment in your own immediate surrounding. It reveals how simple sights around us can reveal and convey something beautiful to us. Reading through the book makes you realize that you have missed observing those simple things around you. The book evokes pleasant memories for the reader and takes them through their thoughts around things that we take for granted and miss observing.
Santhosh Jayaram
As a professional in the field of sustainability, author Santhosh Jayaram’s area of interest has always been nature. Four years ago, Santhosh also developed an interest in photography.
It all began when his son started asking questions about things around. The curious young mind used to ask about anything that came his way. When Santhosh did not know, he started taking pictures to find out about the same. As the questions continued, the interest in photography developed. Santhosh still uses the camera that sparked his interest (not a DSLR), which he believes is best suited for him.
Santhosh Jayaram grew up in Kerala and completed his Bachelor’s in Engineering from the University of Calicut. Post his Masters at IIT Mumbai, he has travelled the world for his work and is currently a partner in one of the leading global professional firms.
Even as a globe trotter—pre-COVID-19—He always found time during the weekends to pursue his interests, which include photography, painting, and writing. This is the second book from Santhosh in the Still Speaking series, which was conceptualized during the lockdown.
The cover page is a painting by the author titled The Creep Flowers.
