Mausam ka haal

N: No mails today, wassup?
M: Blue sky :)
N(taking a whole min to understand!!): Soon you'll see thunderstorms and lightning!! ;-)

jab saamne tum aajathe ho..kya jaaniye kya ho jaata hain

chaahatha yeh kahenge..sochatha woh kahenge
aaye woh saamne toh..kuch bhi na keh sake bas
dekha kiye unhe hum


Jagjit Singh and Asha Bhonsle's soulful rendition, lovely lyrics, soft music from the album 'Khwahishein'.

Skanda's rules of classification

A typical conversation with my 3 year old nephew, say, while watching animal planet. (Can be equally applied to any other show on any other channel too!)

Skanda: Adhenadhu?
Me(or his mom): Tiger
Skanda: Tiger kacchatte?
Me: kacchatte
Skanda(watching the tiger stalk a deer): Adhenadhu?
Me:Jinke
Skanda: Jinke kacchalla?
Me: kacchalla

I flip the channel to Cartoon Network..

Skanda(pointing to a book, that Tom the cat, is reading): Chikkamma, adhu?
Me: Book
Skanda: Book kacchatthe?
Me(Eh?): Kacchalla (Notice, I tell something that he is not expecting, usually whatever he asks, that should be the answer!)
Skanda(assertively): Kacchatthe!!!
Me: ok kacchatte!

So, according to Skanda, there are 2 types of people/animals/things etc in this world.
One that bites and one that doesn't.
Simple ain't it! :-) Aahh..to be as innocent as a child again!

Tranquility

Nature's symmetry

These were taken at Ranganthittu on a cloudy Sunday morning. Added some shadow to the images to make the flowers stand apart. I liked the end result and kept the images that way.

Revisited..

..the joys..

.. the sorrows..

.. the fights..

.. the teasing..

.. the senseless debates, which at that time felt oh-so-important..

.. the various bahaanas for bunking classes**..

.. the fierce arguments for increasing the internal score-cards..

.. the last-minute exam preparations..

.. the aching, loving and broken hearts..

.. the awesome days spent here!!!!!





..revisited on friendship day.


**yeah, was still studious enough not to bunk without a valid reason!

The three musketeers

Glimpses of Belur

Khul ke muskuraale

chooDaaye hum woh galiyan

Moved to a new building today after 4 years at SA (Bannerghatta road). The new place is ok in terms of facilities but the cubicle design is pathetic, too much noise and disturbance! Hoping to get used to this new place and direction!

In other things, is there anyone out there who, like me, thought of Auzaar while watching New York???
