This time their STAND & STARE collection offers images of MATES & MOMENTS.
Apparently these seem unrelated as many things in the world would seem to the human eye. The inward eye, however, is able to discover the inherent harmony that pervades Creation. Novel and Ashok Lavasa are not professional photographers. They are two sensitive souls that are out to assimilate life. They do so by a passionate lifestyle that reflects in their work, social interaction and incessant travel when they interact with Nature. Mountains, waterfalls, the setting and rising Sun, trees, monuments and men form a part of their landscape.
The stripes of a zebra, the spots of a giraffe, and lions on a tree are as enchanting as the eyes of birds in bliss or flapping their wings in the sands of a desert. The balance in life that companionship brings is akin to the glory reflected in the light and shade created by the Sun when its rays land on an object that shines, at the same time diverting the journey of the rays and creating a contrast that completes the harmony of vision. The shimmering waters of the sea, the glittering peaks of the mountains, trees bearing the burden of spring and trees bereft of leaves represent the harmony of life. Mates in many moods, mountains in majestic isolation and Moments that live in memory- all these captured in moments of splendid irony and pleasing tranquility. They say that “in these times of tension and turmoil, it is tolerance, togetherness and tenderness that will take us to the other end. Companionship is part of Nature, compassion brings beings closer and together they create indelible moments.”
The Lavasas are compulsive travelers, love music, river rafting, trekking, racquet games and reading. Novel worked for State Bank of India for 28 years, is now an entrepreneur growing exotic vegetables in a poly house, organizes adventure camps for women and is also a CSR Consultant. Her husband Ashok is in the Indian Administrative Service and is currently posted as Secretary Civil Aviation in Government of India. Both have a Masters degree from Delhi University in English Literature and also a Masters degree in Business Administration.
They have two children, Avny and Abir. Avny is in the Indian Administrative Service having earlier worked in the sports management industry and is married to Pranav. Abir is on the verge of finishing his MBA having earlier played cricket at the national level as a professional cricketer. While Novel has written occasional pieces on their travels, Ashok’s first book An Uncivil Servant was published in 2006. They have participated in various exhibitions and have also had solo exhibitions in different cities. The last exhibition of their photographs INWARD EYE was held in 2010 in New Delhi.
