Kodak Moment !

I saw an old couple yesterday... the whole scene was sooo adorable...

Why?????

This was on my way back home yesterday... had an okay day n was in a hurry to get back home, n the traffis sucks was getting completely irritated with the poisnous fumes and the honking that generally tends to submerge every other sound within itself, n I see an old couple - may not be that old - uncle looked like he was atleast in the early 60's. He had white hair and was wearing a kurta paijama - I think it was off-white. on the other hand aunty had pepperd hair and she was wearing a bright red saree, but what really caught my fancy was that - both were on a scooty, aunty was riding it and uncle was sitting behind holding for his dear life... the whole scene was just too cute (a phrase that i seem to borrow from my boss).

I wishI had a camera then n there, but then now that I have my own pensieve I really dont need to worry now, do I ?!?!?!

another day

at work... completely jobless and bored, been thru www.boredatwork.com though there aint anything great in it or about it.

did my daily survey of orkut, finished the perfunctory round of pleasantries in the office, sat through a rather interesting presentation on e-papers, done with the finishing touches on a presentation and had a good lunch.... n now what?!?!?!

so the only other activity that i could think of was to write (he he he)

here i am...

lemme begin with thanking all those who stopped by the blog and appreciated it....
thank you soooooo much guyz (hugs)

today a fren sent over "his" review of the book "Gone with the wind" thats another thing that he wrote a fabulous review and i complemented him for that... but what struck a chord was that the probable reason why he writes so well is the fact that he reads a lot. now i dont say that only those who read are the ones who write well- there may be a lot of people who have the natural flair for it, but then to hone it, i think reading is an absolute must...

infact i received a letter yesterday... n the reason why i mention it is coz he wrote it sooooo well, and also i dont recieve any letters, dont think many of us do and the feeling is great.. the letter was from a friend, lemme call him "poet" coz he is one. now the poet is in the nilgiris and he wrote to me describing the beauty of the mountains n comparing the sounds to the classical music of mozart and beethovan. he truly appreciates natural beauty and the good things in life and when he writes everything comes alive and that is wahat i want to do too. i can write about mundane stuff but to truly be able to write i have to become much better. n for me the only way of doing that is to read. the problem?????? time...

time is probably the biggest constraint that i face today.. n what ever i get of it i spend it lazying around. i have around 5 to 6 books that i have very confidently, and may i also add with utter stupidity, started reading n now i find myself in the middle of varied plots and half baked characters muddled into complete chaos and confusion.

then there is the blogger, another confidante i have known, who's also good at what he does n then there are other acquaintance, there aint any respite in the office either... surrounded by all these "writers" actually makes me work harder, i am not pushed to the brink of jealousy but they do inspire me to do better.

so i guess there is a lot more reading stored for me in the future... n well if someone out there does have suggestions please do write in :-)

why???

a lil late in the day... but thought of penning down my thoughts.... as to why a new blog

well the old one... i was not very sure as to why i started it... i wanted it to be cool, funny and readable... but then that dint happen. the problem was in the purpose behind it and it was all wrong. so deleted it. n now have picked up the courage of starting a new one

its a commitment i know... intend to keep it though..... (for now i guess)

n what is it all about this time?!?!?!?!

remember the seive that dumbledore used to store his memories... well thats what i intend to do... have a record of the smallest and insignificant event that i want to remember.... the people i come across everyday and anything else that touches my life :)

n i guess fountainhead is the apt name for it... coz it is afterall a new begining

musing under the sycamore...

am not actually sitting under the tree. but for the lack of opportunity, i would have been.. the weather is beautiful. i can just imagine myself sitting under the chequered shade of a huge tree by a lake with the breeze caressing my face...mmmmmmmmmmmm

i have had a good day today... pretty relaxed. there are changes happenin as i speak though. the coming week brings in new opportunities..... am looking forward to it and at the same time apprehensive.

past week has taught me a lot of things. time spent has re-emphasised the importance of friendship. i am so glad that the avenues have broadened themselves. some old forgotten lanes have been revisited and some new pathways have been paved. not very sure though if i should tread on them or trot. that was actually a rhetorical question. coz i kno the "right answer" to it.

whatever be the unforseen i am happy for what "is"

am smiling right now and feel.. i dont know what word to use coz none of them describe what i feel...

have this fuzzy warm feeling... and at the same time am completely calm and at ease with everything around

soooo....i look happy u ask??????

hain na... is what i answer

here's to a new begining

Have been screaming for almost a year that I... "want" , "need" , "am dying" for a break ... have to get out of the city... n it came as a partial blessing... i went to tirupati n had a blast
