Truly Madly Deeply

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do...
I will be strong I will be faithful
'Cos I'm counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living.
A deeper meaning.

I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me...

Inside

Tried my hand at photographing interiors.

The Cabin at the Edge of the Universe

...and I bet the Hitchhicker's Guide has overlooked this!

My Castle

Rented a new house. It has a pretty chandelier in the hall!!

On a misty sunday morning...

Art of Sleep

Was travelling in Prashanti express when I met some interesting people. This man was particularly friendly, full of life and enthusiasm. He had a lot of anecdotes to tell us. His good cheer and liveliness was infectious.

The next morning when we woke up to find him sleeping like a baby, without a worry in the whole world.

What I wouldn't give to be able to sleep like this! :-)

Here I Go Again...

This is (one of) my favourite place(s) in the world and I just can't help posting on it now and then...

Woman

8 Point Someone

I've got tagged! Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of those rare moments when we get to see signs of life on this blog!

I have been asked by Everyman to make a list of '8 qualities that I would want in my perfect lover'. Well, I for sure know there is nothing like 'purrrfect' when it comes to humans but what the heck? So, here goes (not in order of importance):

She should be (Yes! It's a SHE!!):

1. having a very good emotional intelligence
2. (preferably) having some inclination to creative arts (if not talent itself!)
3. knowing how to fulfil her 'cuteness potential' ( I mean, she should not be the kind who says, "The only thing I do to look presentable every day is wash my face and comb my hair!")
4. having the guts to be true to be herself and not caring about what people say...
5. having a lot of determination to be happy --a hardcore optimist...
6. having the love for life, overflowing with energy and mischief...
7. having a good sense of humour
8. unhesitant to kick my ass when I act too smart
   

Hmmm... i am already eight! I guess it is so easy to hope to see these in others...

ALIVE!

Live

I guess I will have to live with it...

Angry with myself...

Summer Storm

A cumulonimbus cloud towers over the outskirts of Mysore city, sometime around 2002.

Mysore and its surrounding areas experience frequent thundershowers from clouds like these, usually during the summer months. Most probably it is these thuderstorms that act like a thermostat keeping Mysore temperatures form rising too much in summer.

As kids we used to curse them for their timing; exactly in the evening ruining our summer fun. These are those rains which brought that warm earthy smell everytime. The mere thought of it makes me feel good!

Dung De Basanti

Yeah! I am so happy about this movie!!! Especially because I never saw it.

The latest victim of this movie was my friend Y. He was outraged by the way the movie makes a mockery of the audience with a plot that is inconsistent and superficial. Unless, it's anything chalega. I heard this first from many friends and then I read it too!

Yes, I know it was stylish, it was cool, bindas and all that sort of thing and of course, and many people are loving it!

This movie would have easily mingled with the other bollywood flicks being churned out except for the tall claims made by the publicity. It would really help if they would not raise our expectations so much with all the hype. The maker should have atleast taken care to see how convincingly he kills the main characters in the end...

My friend Y wished he went to Aksar instead. Atleast he would have seen to it that he left his brain at home before watching it...

I asked another friend D, how he actually found it OK. He said, "Neenu story tho involve avvanu kada!" (I never get involved with the story in the first place!). Yes, the visuals and the fun-stuff in the earlier part of the movie are kinda fun but please leave your brain outside after the first half! This is nothing like Yuva...

Orb2

...and with one last sigh,
freeing the anger with all its might,
it breathed fire into the sky.
With orange photons flooding the air,
it was a silent scream of light…

The Orb

...and the huge, fiery orb lowered itself gently into the backyard of the little cabin by the tree, where it would sulk for the next 12 hrs or so, pondering over what it had seen that day...

After Pooja

The shawl and bag were colorful while the other colors were distracting, so I 'Gimped' them... found this image in one of my folders from last year...
