Happy Travelling..!!

I realize life is a journey...!! Its we who make it good, bad and ugly. Its we who make it cherishable and memorable. Like this road, the journey of life is with ups and downs and we have to still drive it all the way, meeting new people and having few great companies...!!

I have finally realized...!!I am gonna miss all my friends at VPKW, 31st being my last working day, Devdas alias Anup, Moi alias Priyanka, BFG alias MQH alias Vinay, Chotta Chetan alias Suresh..... Tanaya and many more....!! The whole fagger's gang...!!


Aah , but that' s life..!!

Current Mood: remembering the good times.

The wanderer...!!

This pic was taken when I was in IISc... aah what were those days, so chilled out and the whole atmosphere filled with energizing spirit. Taken near the main building just behind the road that joins the best library of the country to that of the main road of IISc campus...!! I kept wondering what this creature was doing and of lately realized... It was collecting twigs for its home.. good job !!

Current Mood: motivated

Diwali Wishes...!!

"Who is more foolish, the child afraid of the dark or the man afraid of the light? "
That's what I always wondered...

The celebration is at heights and the town is deep into crackers and in a way, adding poison to the mother earth. This year Diwali for me has got good news but i didn't celebrate it to a great pomp. I am not in for of pollution. Just lighted the diyas... no sweets either, office sucked me so much from inside, had no energy to bake any delicacy for puja... The "Akhanda" diya for Kali puja is still lighted up, yesterday it was flickering steadily for 6 hours or more... And I was happy. Got some awesome candles from Fabindia and two silver ear-rings for me and two Tees for Chai, one clearly messaging out SAVE TREES n OUR MOTHER.(though he didn't like it much)on Dhantrayodashi !!.....
That's my way of celebrating Diwali. :o)
Hope all of you have your style of diwali pomp and fun.


Slowly I have realized that one can't have a light without a dark to stick it in.

One liner that comes to my mind now is~

"There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. "
~Edith Wharton

Current Mood: Festive and Glad.

Diya...........

Wishing everyone a happy, prosperous, fun-filled, healthy, safe and eco-friendly Deepawali....!!
A festival of lights, candles, diyas, glitters, and sweets and happiness, a victory over evil, Diwali is a festival, celebrated when SriRam arrived Ayodhya after 14 years of exile, conquering the kingdom of Lanka and getting Mata Sita back . Its an occasion celebrated for the victory of truth over lie, good over evil and light over darkness...!!

Wishing a bright and playful light festival ....!

Life is in form of tiny atoms....!!

The game of mate selection and the ability of winning lies in deep inside these powdery orange granules , called pollens...!! A biology that is as interesting in itself as why life originated and how it maintains itself and all that what involves the darwin's right thumb rule and evolutionary stable strategies...

Life is so simple then, yet still complex to the par excellence that one can't assume in one go...!!

Current Mood: Day-dreaming, lost in ideas of an Ecologist.

Happy Birthday Poppy...!!

A huge bear hug and loads of best wishes ahead in life as u grow a bit little old my dear darling, and so i realize... again its your day..As its your birthday..!!

And all of a sudden, these lines of Thomas Hood buzz my mind and i pen it down ...

"I remember, I remember
The roses, red and white,
The violets, and the lily-cups,
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs, where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The laburmum on his birthday,-
The tree is living yet."

So true its said when it is read
And then when it is slowly fed into the brain...

"From our birthday, until we die,
Is but the winking of an eye."
- W.B. Yeats


Current Mood: Satiated. :)

The Silent Lamb..!!

“Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music.”

This shot was taken in Kokkare Bellur.. Thanks Chaitra for taking me to the place and the lamb, for giving some great poses..!!

Current Mood: Silent

Rain Rain Go away..!!

Its raining , drizzling and pouring like cats and dogs, flooding many parts of Western Coast and parts of country. Why cant it go away and let me , you and all to play? I am off from office for a change, as today is Gandhi Jayanti and weather is cold here , drizzling and so i am sleepy. Playing Farmville and Yoville and reading some booklets on Conservation strategy, Thanks to Manish for giving them to me. Overall I am enjoying the birthday of Bapuji in my ways , lazying out under the blanket, waiting for Chaitra to get me a mug of hot steamy coffee.Though my plans were to go out and shop(never-mind to agree that I am Shop-alcoholic), but now I am sleepy. :)

Current Mood: Holidaying and relaxing
