a tad bit superstitious maybe....

I remember the day very clearly... not that its difficult i have the bad habit of a "good memory" specially with dates and things that make a difference to me... i can freak persons out of their wits, by repeating things much like a parrot.....:)

Anyway...back to where i began.. 14th April 2002, Tamil New yr and the day i first moved out to a PG in delhi to live on my own.My parents were in Delhi then , but i moved to a PG cos in a few months they were moving to chennai and i wanted to get used to being independent while i knew they were there to comfort me...

Some of my most memorable days were in the PG.. where i met friends who liked me for me... no changes expected. they liked me for who i was, with all my quirkiness.
Have found very few like them and I cherish each day sent with them. I may not have said this too often, but D and M, i miss you a lot.

And 14th April 2008, 6 years later... i am moving to bangalore.. to start a new chapter in my life... my career life... I am looking forward to this... slightly scared, slightly sad at the fact of leaving behind chennai, which i have, unwillingly started to love now as a place.

Tad bit superstitious about just the fact that if 14th april, 6 yrs back started a good phase for me, sure will 2008 be good too right?

Moods of the sky....

I am a hard core sky gazer... i think i can fall in love with skies again and again....Each day when i look up i see a different sky.. almost like the sky has various moods.. An angry sky, a calm sky, a distraught sky, a sky in peace... I must be thankful to the age of mobile cameras that whenever i look up and see a sky i love i can just click it on my cam

Ive noticed that sometimes pictures look amazing when clicked in the background of a beautiful sky...

The colors in the sky are splendid even without rainbows.
The clouds in the sky having forms unthinkable are just an added attraction. I think its a great de-stresser to just sit and gaze at a beautiful sky.

A beach side with a beautiful sky...aaaaw am gonna miss chennai and its beaches. :(


A happy sky




A calm sky


Picturesque aint that



See the colours.....






the golden gate gets its beauty because of the sky



Early mornings can be so pretty

Jodhaa Akbar...

Finally.... Cant tell you how it feels to see a movie after waiting for so long.. The urge to see the movie actually came cos my friend introduced me to the songs(who also incidentally also promised to accompany me to the movie and never found time to... hrmphhhh). Pure Urdu... amazing lyrics.. thats what I can say about the songs.... And when you find someone who appreciates the beauty of poetry along with the deeper meanings... its like icing on the cake.. In Boston me n my friend spent hours at work with the song in the background.

The movie....spectacular... the grandeur of the forts of Rajasthan, the beauty of the Mughal jewellery , architecture were all things i had seen in excursions around Rajasthan.. Each palace and fort in Rajasthan speaks its own story. Agra , Fatehpur sikri, Ajmer, Amer.. in big picture looked so stunningly beautiful.

The director and artists sure did a lot of homework... so what if the movie was not exactly like out of books.. It still was a beautiful movie..and am probably one person who will give the benefit of doubt of it being lengthy to the director... i mean he needed the time to show all the war scenes.
