"With wings folded I rest, on mine airy nest,"

I have noticed , off late, that I have developed a remarkable dislike for sunny days, a love for the sky and a passion towards clouds. Unfortunately for me and fortunately for her, Aditi got to the task first...
No matter, i am putting these pictures up, sowie aditi for the copyright infringement... :p



"For after the rain when with never a stain
The pavilion of heaven is bare,"

"And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams
Build up the blue dome of air,"


"I silently laugh at my own cenotaph,
And out of the caverns of rain,"



"Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb,
I arise and unbuild it again."




"And when sunset may breathe, from the lit sea beneath,
Its ardours of rest and of love," "And the crimson pall of eve may fall
From the depth of Heaven above."

all thanks to prithvi... :p

here goes...

Five things you wish you could say to people (no names to be taken):
1. Go away. NOW!!!
2. Dang it! but how do manage to remain that slim after eating SO much???!!??
3. You don't give a DAMN about me...it's just your freaking self you care about! :(..and despite all that, can we remain friends?
4. I am NOT trying to act smart. you are just too narrow minded to understand!!
5. Stop telling me to learn diplomacy. i want to be ME. and I am NOT diplomatic.

Eight things about me:
1. I am highly insecure about myself and my relationships with people. i strongly believe whoever said that the person who seems to be the strongest is the weakest inside, was perfectly right.
2. i LOVE people. and i don't normally care if they love me....i like talking to them, watching them....it's good fun, though i guess the 'people' don't like it so much!
3. i eat less than the average being of my age.
4. i prefer delivering a speech to a large audience to writing something for them to read. but when it comes to people who are actually close to my heart, i get tongue tied...so i'd rather write!
5. i am one confused being under normal circumstances but my friends think i am very focused.
6. i like bikes and cars. ever since i was little, i preferred them to barbie dolls! yet i don't dream of owning something big... i just want the same bicycle as lance armstrong!
7. i am very finicky about people touching me. i can get really rude if someone whom i don't like suddenly grasps my arm or comes too close, adults in special. that apart, i love a warm hug or a pat on the back...
8. i am really really REALLY messy. i hate neat and orderly things...i can locate things faster in a mess than when things are kept in their "proper" places....

One way to win my heart (there’s just one):
be honest with me, even if it sounds rude....and take me as i come...accept the entire package and my heart is won over!

Five things that cross my mind a lot:
1. friends
2. my future( aditi has got me scared as to whether i will manage to get in somewhere good :o)
3. school, or my recent lack of it!
4. recent books that i liked
5. feminism..

One thing I wish I never did:
listen to lamb of god. i tell you, ever since i did my ears have gone awry...

Three Turn Offs:
1. fake people, those who act so sweet but are itching to strangle you.....people who put their face so close to yours and breathe up your nose, and cause your spectacles to get clouded..
2. excessive pessimism
3. chemistry

Four things I want to do before I die:
1. teach atleast 10 kids how to read, write and speak english. more than 10, hopefully! i have already started with 2...
2. be famous as a journalist
3. get rich the right way, and then splurge!
4. find the perfect man!! :p

One Confession:
i am terribly scared of people, whom i know, dying.. :( even if they are hale and hearty, i am always afraid.....morbid eh?

jeez...i barely know any bloggers who have not been tagged
just the one for now, if i find any more i'll add them on!

tushar!

frolics on the way back home....

these pictures, under normal circumstances, would cause me to die of embarassment...
then why on the face of good earth am i putting them up??...because the fact that these days are over...irreversibly over, causes me to do so...
these images have not been taken keeping any technical aspects in focus..they were taken on the road and in an auto-rickshaw on the way back home from school. Friday being our last exam, we will no longer be the 'fearsome foursome' who went home together from school everyday...we are all going our different ways, but aditi (nono not the sophia one :P ) sob, shil....i swear i'm NEVER going to be able to forget our rides back home, the wierd conversations, the moments of extreme emotions (which inevitably scared the driver..) nor the hilarious fights....
let the memories live on!

trying to catch an auto....not happening though...

we were soooo tired that he sat down on the road...and got up pretty quickly too.. :P

on the foot path, shilpa, moi and sobby..

shil, dits and a very embarassed sob

well. its us.... :D

still walking..no auto in sight... :(

YEAH! caught one, and are inside it!!!!
on another fine day, waiting for a bus in the bus stand...thought we'd gain some experience..unfortunately the bus didn't turn up! :(asleep at a bus stop
the meter is a forgotten device.people STARE nowdays if you ask them to go by the meter..it's a norm not to!.!
BAD man! so he gets the five horn effect!!!
thats it for now.... :)
DON'T laugh at us.....

or ok...you can if you want to.. :D

from within my compound walls....

i have long wanted to do something of this sort....take aimless pictures, showcase the environment i live in...i have NO clue if you are going to be interested in what i do, the sort of life i live...my likes and dislikes....and most importantly my pictures....but i wanted to do this...as a tribute to that locality i have lived in for most of my life. it may seem secluded and boring...no malls nor any tarred roads...horrible sewage problems...suburban actually...but i love it! so there!!.. all these pictures are taken from within the compound of my apartment block....and as i mentioned before...they are horribly aimless...so..look if you want to...i don't blame you if you don't. however, if you DO see the pictures please comment...this is the first time i'm putting up pictures for no rhyme or reason..
not my flat number.. :P
