Best of India...

Right, I have been planning to do this entry for a looooong time.. Somehow, the inspiration came today. So here goes (dedicated to those clowns who aren't on Facebook. tsk tsk)..

Sun rise at Pune.. On our way to Pawan Khind (hills).

That famous crash at Pune.. Haha, will never forget it..
PS Brakes in India do fail..

Ticket to Zakir Hussain's Tribute to Bangalore.. The boys sure as hell, were green with envy..

Outside St Philomena Church, Mysore..

Mysore Palace, with a flowery touch.. A dream finally realized..

Brindavan Gardens, Mysore.. With the KRJ Dam in the background..

Shivarathri.. Right 'home' in Bangalore..

GOAAA!!! Dark clouds on Holy Saturday..

The Gang, minus Derrick and me (duh, I was taking the shot!)..

Sunset at Goa.. One of my best shots to date..

Outside Chennai Central Station...

At Mahabalipuram.. Scintillating Architecture..

The sea-shore temple that withstood the devastating Tsunami in 2004...

Outside Kabaaleeshwarar Temple at Mylapore, Chennai..

Jay(my supervisor) and Ken outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium at Bangalore..

Bangalore Royal Challengers vs Deccan Chargers.. Good thing they won their first match at home with us screaming our lungs out!!

Whilst shopping for mangoes at Yelahanka, Bangalore..

At Bannerghatta National Park, Bangalore.. You pretty much get the picture here, so to speak..

Just beautiful, God's creations...

At Sivanasamudra Falls, Sivanasamudram..

The picture that made us Poster Boys in NTU.. Haha..

At Talakad.. This place, is amazing.. Believed to be cursed by a Queen in the 12th century, this entire place is filled with sand.. And the structure you see in front of you was uncovered just a few years back.. More archaeological discoveries are still being made..

At Somanathapur.. The same location where Rajni shot his title song for the movie, Arunachalam..

An intricate Hoysala sculpture of Narasimha..

The Big Temple at Tanjore..

Back to my roots.. The stream outside my native village..

And of course, the reason why I missed my train at Tanjore.. A game of carom with Aisha and Irfan..

My colleagues get into the carom fever during my second trip to Goa...

Pretty much how I set up at my place in Bangalore.. Pasta, tomato soup, chicken cheese sticks, a bottle of Pepsi and catching The Office on my laptop..

Our very own local cuisine, at Kenneth's uncle's place.. Trust me, it was one meal that kept us going..

And of course, the picture that won me Third Prize at the Quirks of Life competition held by NTU...

Guess that's about it.. Have fun kids!!!

(The following has no intended target whatsoever. Just a reflection of my thoughts and stuff. I do know, that probably 6 months down the road, when I read this entry again, I might just laugh it off.)

Relationships, can be quite a sham, sadly. I only realized it over the recent events that have taken place around me. Now, I've always had this dream of having a gal whom I'd fall in love over and over and over again. And maybe, settle down, have our own little brood and grow old together. Hey, sue me if you think it ain't 'manly' to think that way.

That said, I guess the ones that end up with questions are the 'dumped' ones. Trust me, been on both sides of the see-saw and have felt those effects more than once. But why is it difficult at times, to try to come out of your way to understand your partner?? Its simple..

EGO!

The very fact that it just detracts you can end up making your relationship a disaster. That said, there are those who end up taking advantage of the niceness one displays. And then there are those, who have some sick game which I would put it similar to pretending to throw that ball for your dog to fetch, only to see him run the length and realize that he had been cheated. Then why friggin' get in a relationship? I wonder.. The fact that you get pampered and loved?? And when you feel it's going wrong, you just call the easy way out??

To me, entering a relationship ain't a game. It's a commitment. I'd go to all lengths to salvage it if there's a problem (unless if its a trust issue). That is the kinda person that I am.

Oh well, one thing's for sure. My faith in relationships have just gone kaput with this post, and lest God decides to prove me otherwise, I'm pretty sure I'd remain unstuck with this decision. That said, being single means being able to look around, have fun.

And that's sthg I've never had for awhile now.. Not at least for the year 2008 yet.. =)
