hey.. oh hi!

it s again been a while since my last post. not that i forgot u.. blog :) not at all that i was too busy for you.. just that i had nothing to say.

being able to share a long pause.. a silence in the conversation.. isnt that the sign of good friends :P

talking to a blog.. would that be a sign of lunacy? maybe i should get a dog.. or perhaps a cat.

though i never had pictured in my mind what work life would be like, post the MBA, i assumed that it would be busy. That the day would be full of intellectual rigor, performance measured, compared.. data would flow in and out of excel, there would be a team where i started as an equal., these were kind of assumed, never expected.. nor imagined.

:) funny eh..

She looked so beautiful

Here she comes
Beauty plays the clown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown

Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown


Is there a time to run for cover
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell
Is there a time to believe you can't feel

Here she comes

In a new dress

Here she comes

To go away again

You say that the river
Finds the way to the sea
And like the river
You shall come to me
Beyond the borders
And the thirsty lands
You say that as a river
Like a river...
Love shall come
Love...
And I'm not able to pray anymore
And I cannot hope in love anymore
And I cannot wait for that love anymore)


Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
And the night is set to freeze

Sham

One thing i realize now.. not a completely new feeling but one that seems to reinforce with time is that i like north india more than the south

it is a strange thing, for it does not mean i dont like people from s.india.. i do. but not d whole lot.. in the sense, most of my best friends are from there. i love my mallu chums, feel at home with them. i like the language.

yet.. bring enough people from that land to have a city or a town and then suddenly i hate it. people are drab and boring and backward !

maybe i like south when it is takn out of the south.. in the sense that people living there get drawn into that culture and i dont feel like i belong there.

anyways..

Camera acitivity

I got a new Lens.. ! a sigma 18-200. apart from being bankrupt and lugging around a heavier camera and a lighter purse i am also going to Amritsar this weekend, the virgin trip for the lens with the Golden Temple and the Wagah border.

i got rid of the older lens in a switch deal.

i hope to be back with new (and hopefully) better photos on flickr.

patience

I think it takes a month for me to get used to a place.. a new city.. office..ppl.. job

and for that time i have days of ultimate low, boredom, excitement, appeal

and suddenly one month is over and tada.. things are different.. that office looks familiar...colleagues become friends. others must be guided by this exact same clock because suddenly the boss s saying lets go for a drink. suddenly random people say hi.. rikshaw guys dont haggle over rates.. i wake up just in time for office.. suddenly there s a shortage of time, more things to do.. work still sucks but there s light down the tunnel, everybody else is cribbing as much as i, and maybe i am having more fun..

anyways last week i was sitting in a place having a drink.. and a friend ordered a peach drink.. it tasted like peach.. and like a girl i knew. it s amazing how memories come back, it s like one sip and bang.. theres a strong memory. it was like i just kissed her again

these days i come back from the office and get to my room.. get some movie or news on tv.. power up d laptop. mix a drink.. then risk checking out what the lady has cooked up for dinner and i usually dont miss on my prediction of it being inedible.. and then much does not change till i fall asleep. maybe a call .. maybe a long chat.. in between it is this trance till some movie gets over.. without me having noticed much of it.. reading bits and pieces of something on the laptop, check out photos etc..

funny thing is i still look forward to coming back here every evening... 9 hrs in d office nd cant wait to get here.. k not here but generally back

i really need to find some new things.. job, friends, a flat-mate
