Sunday Morning

The beautiful lace curtains make patterns on the wooden cupboard.

Speed Demon

If I had a near-death experience, it could be riding pillion with my bike-crazy friend on his Karizma (the one above) at around 100kmph. The bike seems to pur silently even at these speeds and the loudest sound is that of the wind blasting by and the occassional 'swish' sound of a vehicle you just overtook, now quickly shrinking into the distance...

It is easy to see why he is addicted to it...

believe

I believe the person you are grieving for is there somewhere, in a form that we may not percieve, watching over you, wanting you to be happy, wanting you to be strong, feeling helpless to see you cry...

please be happy for that is what he would want you to be...

please pursue your dreams for that is what he would have wanted you to...

carry on being loving, caring and understanding to the people around you the way this person taught you to be...

be strong the way this person showed you how... for that could be the best way to show this person how much he meant to you...

I know it is easy for me to say...
...but this is what I believe...

New Car!

My friend's company gave him a Mini Cooper car for free. When I saw the car, I liked it a lot and asked him casually if I can have it...

He said YES!!!


Well, I am not dissappointed by the fact that it is 36 times smaller than the real thing...
Hmmm... and who said I am too old to have a new toy?

Post-Trip Hangover

Bought this straw hat in Goa. Gives a rush of happy memories (although it was in Dec '05!) when I look at it as it hangs on my room wall, waiting to be touched by the orange light of the setting sun...

Road to Pune

While biking back from thamini ghat, the time was around 8 am and the summer sun was already shining down brightly. The silver road wound its way into the hills. Beyond the hills lies Pune...

Banks of Cauvery

If you are in Mysore, this is one place you should not miss. This is the at Srirangapatna (18km from Mysore), on the banks of river Cauvery... this snap is made of 8 snaps 'stiched' together and you can see that it is not seamless...

@#$%! Blogger is shrinking the image to a thin strip!!

Thanks to zoxcleb's advice I put it up on ImageShack. If your internet connection can handle it, here is a larger version...

Jesse Jaisi Koi Nahi Bhokti....

"Woof woof whine woof woof grrrrrrrrrrowl woof woofwoofwoofwoof whine woof whine woof whine woof woofwoofwoofwoofwoofwoof woofwoof woof woof grrrrrrrrrrowl woof woof woof woof"

Translation: I am Jesse, supposedly the daughter of a Kannada film star's dog. Of course, I do not throw any starry tantrums! When I am hungry, my big soulful eyes look sullen and you know I am upset. Then as soon as my mistress calls out saying that breakfast is ready, I am off in a flash of shiny black fur and then you realise how hungry I was! :-)

Kidding

This kid was sincerely trying to frighten us by saying that he will let loose the dinosaurs that he has back home...

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!!

Sus Road

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!
