When life seems Beautiful

I will keep this short. Really short.

Please take a look at these pictures.

Thanks. 

Ahem, look who is back!

   Notice #1:  If you haven't heard already, i had gone on a trip to explore Rajasthan. And i clicked pictures. However, what made it worth making a special mention is the fact that this time, all the 500 odd pictures that i clicked (out of those, hardly 50 are ones that can go up on the blog. Sigh) were clicked using a phone. I must say that its beyond doubt now (to me) that good photos don't necessarily come out of a DSLR.

    Notice #2: A lot of my upcoming uploads will be based on the pictures that i managed to capture in these 10 days.

And we're back!

   Ever since i've come to Rajasthan, i've been going through series of 'deconditioning' processes. But, recently, one of the smaller deconditioning that i have experienced is the fact that the camera of my phone, although only 5MP tall, can pull off tall stuff. The consequences of my deconditioning are as follows:

   1. A lot more respect for 5MP phone cameras.
   2. Patience to save up for a better camera.
   3. A reason to update the blog.

AND

   4. A reason to Click.

So... for the time being i will be updating the blog with the clicks from my phone.

Woohoo! (Coz it feels good to be posting, again!)

Oh gravity! Thou art a heartless b*!@h...

This camera will never be used by me again! Thanks to gravity and exorbitant servicing prices... sigh... gravity! why???? maybe it is for the good. 

I want to write poems...

   I really do not see why i must be wanting to write poems. i know i am not really good at it and have to force myself to write one. But still i want to write poems effortlessly like a couple of them do in my class. I wonder why. Because there are many things i cannot do which a lot of them in my class do so effortlessly and amazingly. Like i cannot play any instrument. There are a couple of guys who play amazingly. I cannot write properly. But, we have amazing writers in my class. One has even got her book published. (its called the 'Apple Elusionist' by Avrina Joslin. Check it out...) Despite this i do not have the strong need to be able to write well or play any instrument well. I am happy with what i can write and also with the fact that i can whistle. (that counts as as instrument, right?) But, with poetry? i dont know, i have this very desperate need to be able to write poems. Touching poems... i wonder why...
   But then, as i kept wondering, it struck my why!!! Because you cannot 'sound' sad by simply writing. To 'sound' sad, you must be good at poetry. I can 'sound' happy by writing a comical story. But, it is realy hard to portray sadness though plain text. (of course, if you are Thomas Hardy or of his likes, you can easily make the readers go into depression)
   I cannot show the world how sad i am if i cannot write a good poem. I simply cannot. So, i thought i must write one. Really good one. And so, Ladies and Gentlemen, i present:

I am Sad

I am sad. Sad,sad,sad.

sad feels so bad.

Bad,bad,bad

I am Broken.very broken.

my heart is taken.

Taken, taken, taken.

(without even a token)

My world is empty. Properly empty.

I've fallen like Humpty-Dumpty

oh, humpty dumpty, humpty dumpty.

(i'm a Brahmin, promise, Aunty) 

I fell like i am living the life of a dream. bad,bad dream.

pour some water on me, or some ice-cream.

but i promise i wont scream. 

(don't actually waste ice-cream. It just rhymes with dream.)

once i wake up, i'll be happy.

 still small and wearing a nappy.

or a hangover really crappy.

(crappy but happy,happy happy)

i'm am really lonely.

Lo Lo Lonely.

it'll pass, surely.

(till then time pass. Rs 5 only)

i am sad. Sad, sad, sad.

Sad feels so bad.

Bad, bad, bad.

Are you crying? aww... thank you so much...(i think i should take up poetry as a profession.) Look oh ruthless world, look!!! i am sad! i can show it! Yes! now go give me back my happiness.

 you promised!

To be and to be...

   The new year is here! (almost. If you see the post timing) And everybody is welcoming her like one welcomes a newly wed girl to her new home. Nobody knows how she will adjust. Nobody knows how she will treat others. But, she is pretty. So, smile and hope for the best. As i look back at 2011 i find a blur of events that have left a deep crater on my mind. Yes, the year 2011 has been one of the hardest to get through. But, it has gone by faster than i could have hoped for. Why has it been difficult? Don't ask. Hell lot of reasons. But, this year has also been the one to make me a lot more mature. For me, its not the same excitement of a brand new year. Its the excitement of a brand new life. I do not have a long list of resolutions which i can never keep up. There is just one resolution. To Be a Better Person. hopefully i can be that. And for that lemme start off by wishing you all a very Happy New Year! But, more than you guys, i have to wish someone else:

   A very Happy New Year to all the people working in the countless malls, pubs, restaurants overtime on new years eve and new years night to make sure we can have an eventful New Year. To all those who serve us with a smile at 12:00 midnight despite them wanting to be at home with their family. To those who guard the malls and patiently try handling the drunk "celebraters" while they would want to head home and celebrate with a toast themselves. To those who help us in any other way possible so that we can have a memory of as to how we welcomed the new year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to you guys. May this year indeed be a very happy one for you guys.
   Also a very Happy New Year to all the drivers driving tonight. (The city transport department has kept a few of  the city buses functioning for longer hours into the night to avoid drunken driving.) BMTC, KSRTC, KPN,SHARMA, CITY TAXI, EASY CABS etc., etc., you better be paying your drivers bonuses for their sacrifice this New Year. While we are wasted beyond limits and are in the happiest times of our lives these drivers make sure they take us home safely. Thank you, once again form the bottom of my heart.
   A very Happy New Year to the city's traffic police department who are working overtime to ensure law and order does not get disrupted on the very first couple of hours of the New Year. (hopefully you'll not take us for a ride at lest tonight. if not for the entire year.)
   And last but not the least...  a very Happy New Year to the Common Man for whom the new year is just one night of celebrating after which everything comes back to normal. (just as quickly as the clock strikes 12:00 after that its not 12:00 anymore... its 12:00:01 and so on... ) Its the same race to have a secure future for the family, for the kids... Its the same crowding at budget hotels for a family lunch,dinner.... its the same shopping at the mega discount sale... its the same rush to fill petrol the night before yet another price hike hoping to save some bucks.... its all the same... its just a new year... just a New Year....
 

My Notice Board

Good news! I  just figured out his Jump-Break feature of blogger and thought my blog badly needs it. why?

1. I mean most of you guys will not want to spend your time reading the entire history of my snap, right? So, with jump break you can just see the Photograph and if you wanna read the story/my comment etc., you can click on- i wanna read more>>

2. It saves loading time and thus saving you guys on your download amount! I know texts hardly make a difference. But still man! something at least i am helping you save.

3. Loads faster. (was that obvious from point 2? sorry.)

So, hope you like this new feature of "Photography With Music" (only Facebook can introduce new features or what? Mark Zukker-berg or whatever berg, on your FACE!)
