can there be light ?

can people be good or bad ?
no. they can be irritating or disgusting and the ones one does prefer to seek.

anyways, can a child learn to walk in a day ? its tumbles, fumbles, seeks support and eventually, one fine day, lo and behold, its walking straight up!

the obvious

last thing one would ever want hear is - its disgusting to hear you talk.

and silent darkness prevailed.

romancing the roads

am all excited and just waiting for the clocks to hit 0500 hrs, 30th oct. all though its been a regular affair, to hit the highways often, this time its a long honeymoon with my babe-my machine - aka my bike. just waiting for the 1400 kms long ride over a span of 5 days.

some day...

if one looks at the photograph carefully, the right leg of first three elephants are forward, in coordination. looks similar to out skilled soldiers marching at the republic day parade. seems that they know what they are upto.
animals know what they are upto. may be we will all know what we are, what we are up to one day. some day...

magic...

last week, was in search of some breeze and had been to lalbagh. to sit on the the rock, near the kempegowda monument - to have some time for self. there were so many people. man - where can somebody find peace in bengaluru ??? the air was totally still and not even a leaf was moving. the air was so damn still.
the friday s ride back home did some magic. the expected magic did happen at the right time, when i had stopped for tea and calling my folks to tell them about my whereabouts.
the whether was very pleasant. it had just rained and was pretty chilly when the speed touched 100 kmph.
there on the road, i feel, the stretch between mysore and bangalore should not called a highway. there, every 500 m or so, a shop crops up. and it is very similar to a busy road in any city but has fast moving traffic.
in the earlier days when human civilizations were developing, people use to live where they could find a water source, say a lake or a river. these day, people start living where they find a highway. :D
when i reached mysore, was very happy to see that it was all decorated and looked like a bride.

very accommodative

the only good thing about mumbai is that is has a sea shore and one can feel the sea.loved staring at the sea and have done it for hours. the sea breeze which would engulf me, i would feel it has something to say. its so accommodative...

of late, have been missing the sea quite a lot. today evening, while getting drenched in the rain, i missed the sea

and its breeze so much that its here.
going in search of breeze. hope to find some breeze ( capt haddock s expression for a gale :) ) in tomorrows ride back home, to pump some adrenalin in my blood stream.

to bend

i had an awesome professor who once said - i have been here so long that i know how to break the rules without even bending them.
this post is definitely not about bending rules or breaking rules.
in Indian culture, why do we prostrate in front of our elders, gods or doctrines ? its actually a way to show respect, our submissiveness.
the seer of siddaganga mutt, sri shivakumar swamiji is very learned and is very old too. he has a hunch back. In a kannada movie by name - matha - the protagonist rightly says - his hunch back indicates that, whatever heights the person may reach, one should always remain humble.
generally, coconut trees grow straight up. but, on sea shores, they are bent. to resist the gale they face.
now that why should a person bend is known, how much can a person bend ?
