Could find many horse carts right in front of the Spagna metro station targeting the tourists, but I prefer walking around when you are in such a beautiful city! :-)

2006-12-10T22:33:00.000-08:00

This was taken on top of Chammundi Hills, Mysore. You can see the offerings he has brought for the temple. I just wonder how far he has traveled to reach here.

A visit to my native, Cochin! :)

Empty chair

2006-05-16T22:41:00.000-07:00

An empty chair for me means, someone has made it ready for me.
An empty chair opposite to mine means, whom i have been waiting for will never turn up.

Near and far!

2006-05-07T23:10:00.000-07:00

Those who are near shine bright, but brigther ones may be far away that u might not notice them!

Beyond...

2006-04-17T04:10:00.000-07:00

Darkness fell all around me, i felt like lost and lonely. Then I saw a light, I walked toward it, I saw the door, wasn't sure what waited for me beyond it. And then i pulled it open and ...

On top of the world

2006-02-18T06:18:00.000-08:00

Lost in thoughts

2006-02-01T05:53:00.000-08:00

I saw a place to take rest. I sat there and wondered. How did I reach here? Where did I go wrong? Or am I on the right path? I was asked to sit here and wait, that was the promise. And I waited and i waited...

Didn't come out well, the way I wanted. Thought will post here for you guys' comments.

Source of joy!

2006-01-08T21:23:00.000-08:00

I thought streams never dry up. They are always supposed to flow indefinitely, bringing joy and relief to everyone. But some do dry up. And you stand there helpless, wondering what happened, and you will never know, because you cant see the source.

A time we all wish to go back to...

2006-01-05T21:05:00.000-08:00

A time when
every foot step is an adventure,
every walk is a picnic,
every sound is exciting,
every place is a playground,

and most of all; no worries! :)

Ray of hope...

2006-01-03T23:05:00.000-08:00

Let us put the past behind and move forward. Follow the light, lets experience a new life.

Hundred...

2005-12-20T22:17:00.000-08:00

What does hundred mean to you?
To a poet, a hundred stars in the sky
To a child, a hundred chocolates.
To a cricket fan, SRT's last hundred
To a doctor, hundred lives he saved
To an athlete, hundred meters
For me, its hundred days!

If anyone out there had been wondering why I haven't posted any pics, well I have been held tight in office. Never got time to get my cam out and go hunting. Today morning, I thought I should post something here. I dug through my old snaps (around the time when I started clicking) and this is what I could come up with.

This weekend, I am going to my native place for vacation. Ten days of freedom! :) Hope to come back with some good snaps. Will be back in 2k6! The road ahead looks promising.

Hold on...

2005-12-06T08:20:00.000-08:00

Hang in there, glow in all you glory and people will enjoy your beauty. Let go, you fall down and burst into nothing and nobody will care. So hold on...

Be with me ...

2005-12-01T20:42:00.000-08:00

The path ahead looked scary, not sure where I was going. Nothing was clear, I felt lost. I turned around and saw u smiling at me! :) I never felt lonely again!

My December . . .

2005-11-28T03:21:00.000-08:00

This is my December
This is my time of the year

This is my December
This is all so clear

This is my December
This is my snow covered home

This is my December
This is me alone

and i just wish that i didnt feel
like there was something i missed
and i take back all the things i said
to make you feel like that
and i just wish that i didnt feel
like there was something i missed
and i take back all the things i said to you

and i give it all away
just to have somewhere to go to
give it all away
to have someone to come home to

This is my December
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all i need

Appreciating beauty...

2005-11-26T03:29:00.000-08:00

Sometimes it takes ages to understand someone. You might be knowing him/her for years and yet things might not go the way you thought. You have to really look close to see the inside, really close and thats what I just did. Still...

Suicide . . .

2005-11-20T01:04:00.000-08:00

He closed his eyes, and stepped forward. The sensation of weightlessness, the wind blowing through his hair, but he felt no fear. And in another fraction of a second, it was all over. And he opened his eyes, and he smiled and murmered "Finally in heaven". Then someone whispered in his ears "No son! Thats the place where you came from!"

The broken vase...

2005-11-12T21:53:00.000-08:00

The human heart is like a broken vase. Once broken, it wont hold anything inside. Can this ever be mended?

Two great pals @ work!

2005-11-11T22:55:00.000-08:00

Two things I can't live without. A hot cup of coffee on top of Linkin Park blasting in my ears :) Aaah, that sets me going @ work. Sometimes I feel like turning the volume all the way up and forget everything else. This is what I do when I am not coding or not photographing. Music and more music and a sip of coffee. Thank God that I have them, whenever I feel down!

The man from the dark side!

2005-11-06T20:14:00.001-08:00

KGK, lost in his thoughts. My roomie. You can find him sometimes cut off from the rest of the world, in a world of his own. He is not a day-dreamer, but the amount of concentration he spends on somethings make you often wonder ;)

KGK, at his best! Now, when he is aware of his surroundings, its a different story altogether. Where else can you find such an innocent smile? :P

A festival of lights and crackers

2005-11-02T22:10:00.000-08:00

Deepavali - back in Kerala we dont celebrate deepavali as much as they do here in Blore. Back then, it was nothing more than another holiday :) But here things are different. Two days of dhamaka, the whole city was lit by the fireworks from evening to late night. I spend the entire evening on our terrace, with my friends and yes we had a small blast of our own.

The fight ...

2005-11-01T20:19:00.000-08:00

They had a fight? To me it seems more like a misunderstanding? Or they never knew each other at all. Does he expect her to understand him. Will everything be back to where it was, Will they ever be friends again? But he doesnt seem to know, because he cant see her face!

Paradise

2005-10-22T02:13:00.000-07:00
