Say cheez....

Recently when my uncle who is an expert in cameras (all sorts) came for a visit he happens to bring a Nikon N70 with a 2x multiplier. Understand this is not that high tech and has up to 70mm zooming lens but for certain someone this was like a dream come true. So who took it in to her hand? Yesss me the “cat-curious me”. Well it was not the first time I discovered my love for photography and at the same time proved myself that there is so much to learn even to take a simple photograph. So far I have tried my hand in the 3.2 megapixel camera that comes with my mobile phone and have given some reasonable shots here and there. So when I let my hand touch “The N70” I was in love once again with whole world. So what was my target…aha the sky. And then flower buds. The bugs on the flower, Grass petals, ants on the wire. My own shadow. And even did some paparazzi shots on my brother and cousins. Well I was not really concentrating on the shutter speed; focusing, lighting conditions so on and so forth. However must say that it was quite a learning experience. Which I am hoping to be an expert at(well what do you know this is my year 2009 resolution)

As time passed by my uncle had to leave which means that I had to bid farewell to “my new love”. And went back to the reality of my Nokia 5610 camera... hey it’s not bad at all it does indeed a good job almost all the time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

its true what they say, spend at least one day with a 7 year old and 70 year old.. wow life is so simple..

Well all started when she kept on staring at me… had to talk so. She had being watching my every move. However now I do not regret, because she taught me how nice and simple the life can be when you take each minute as it is and how you can make someone feel better by showing the things you like to do. Such energy and enthusiasm she showed to meet people greet people and talk with people. Recently am built in such a way that I like to get to know fellow human but after inquiring about that person I just loose interest in them. Just that I am too lazy to know how everyone is doing. Might have tried a feeble act on keeping the rapport with few of my friends but most of the time I like to shut up and listen to what other people say. Sad life? Or anthropologistic life? Or a life that does not actually have anything to say to anyone?

Well I am not fighting to understand why I turned to be someone like this. Guess it’s a phase that I am going through discovering” who I am”?

Back to the 7 year old. All we did was, playing some kids games. Reminded me of my childhood where I was the privilege one to ride on somebody’s back. And now she is the privileged one. Damn I was tired after all the running, skipping circling and hide and seek we did. But still I was HAPPY and young. Yes felt like a young girl who knew the beauty of life. Thank you little one…

Life cycle of a relationship

After mulling over my past relationships I have come into a conclusion that there is a case of life cycle in all of them. Growth, maturity, boom and then sudden fall. And this falling is which makes you unable to recover and if you do not have that need you will be a bankrupt forever.

Sounds like one who got heartbroken? Yeah I am. Some of us are not so lucky to be steady and ready with the first person you meet. What made me write this is not because I am still crying over spilled milk but as we are at the yearend I myself did a personal review on the year 2008. Learnt a good lesson guess I am thank full to them for that though the hurt might have forced me to hate them. Besides this is life, not everything comes in a silver tray. Now I know that for sure.

There is hope of a better year ahead. That’s the recommendation I received.
well 2009 you know what to do.... :)

Upside down christmas tree

I was just browsing through the net. Then this particular Christmas tree caught my eye. Yup it was upside down. Wanted to check the motive behind it. And apparently this is a symbol of Christianity in central Europe. When there is such thing as growing a Christmas tree in the conventional way, we just had to think differently and here comes an upside down Christmas tree…



Or is it other way round? may be this is the corrcet way to grow a CHRISTMAS TREE

Who knows we are just following a set of rules given by others




and ways this is the history as taken from www.thegreenhead.com

The History of the Upside-Down Fir Tree: According to the Christmas Archives, "In the 7th century a monk from Crediton, Devonshire, went to Germany to teach the Word of God. He did many good works there, and spent much time in Thuringia, an area which was to become the cradle of the Christmas Decoration Industry. Legend has it that he used the triangular shape of the Fir Tree to describe the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The converted people began to revere the Fir tree as God's Tree, as they had previously revered the Oak. By the 12th century it was being hung, upside-down, from ceilings at Christmastime in Central Europe, as a symbol of Christianity."

what happened..and to happen

Listening over and over
Ranting on the same thought
Heart beat stopped
Looked outside
Saw another light
Went close
Burnt again
Did learn the lesson?
Yeah may be
But hope exists

Empirical proof of love – A Beautiful Mind

I watched A Beautiful Mind where the life story of John Nash, the Nobel Prize winner in Economics (1994) unfolds. Not going to give my view of the movie, yet want to share my fevorite scene

The following conversation if between John and Alicia Larde, when he wanted her to explain the love and commitment she had for him. Mind you he is a mathematician. The scene is acted by Russell Crowe (John Nash) and Jennifer Connelly (Alicia Larde)

Alicia: A proof? Verifiable data? Hmm mmm

Okay…

Well... How big is the universe?

John: Infinite

Alicia: How do you know?

John: I know because all the data indicate it

Alicia: But it hasn’t been proven yet?

John: No

Alicia: You haven’t seen it. How do you know for sure?

John: I don’t. I just believe it

Alicia: Mmm..

It’s the same with Love. I guess

Now, the part that you don’t know

Is it if I want to marry you?

................................................

was touched by the scene

One day a friend of mine asked me what was it like to be in love? and i am still searching for the answer...

Today??? friday??? huh???

“Time flies...”Being hearing that on and off and the funny thing is we still spend it less of the real meaning of it... all of 2008 has being a year of killing time for me and apparently I have done so many things and none of them were my resolutions…
But I am not sad or unhappy about the year passed, cuz now I am much closer with my parents and kinda in peace with myself.
And the best part is I have become quite a mind reader so its kinda difficult for me to deal with people.. hahaha I know all are afraid of me, talk to me even and I sometimes purposely ignore the muscling gender…
Wellllll today is Friday… Was to meet up a friend and to go Christmas shopping… Though we have scanned all shops of Colombo still not satisfied for the fact that we have so much of time to kill… plan was cancelled and me still in office pretending to work when my boss insists on, me flying back to my nest.. “Come on man I love my job, I am soooo devoid of my life… please let me stay near my Oh-so-perzonal-computer and pretend to work my oh-so-brilliant-head-off.
Today is a Friday. My shopping spree was cancelled and sitting in front of Orlando Blooms and doing my thing (Okayyyyy its just the screen saver but still I can read him, yeah he like moi J ).
Ahhhh almost forgot.. It was Christmas deco timeeeee…. When I stepped into office (after a looong vacation sorta thing) found there were none…. So who stepped in… yeah me the oh-so-time-to-kill-doing-nothing me… the theme was “not spending your money due to Economics crises and still have the spirit” so we voluntarily got the day off and started cutting “recycled Envelopes” and made Christmas trees and hung them… (ahhh I am going to miss you guys, surprisingly but yeah I am)

Now all have gone home I am still at office finishing off my work and browsing through the net and felt like saying something…
Wanted to say how much I want to go out and go crazy at a day like this… but guess I am not that kinda person.. or may be I do not have friends and nobody likes me… oh may be I am so ugly that no guy likes me… or may be the economy is so s&^*5 that all the amusement arenas are closed since the cost cutting is taking over our lives that no credit cards are allowed and expenditure is more than the income… or may be its raining outside that and I can’t see oh hear it….or may be I am blind, deaf and dumb at the same time that I might as well not have a life..
But…..
ohhhhh who cares??? I kinda like my subtle moving life… and I am happy and happy… and I just let it go..
man I love Eric Clapton.. “Layla you got me off my feet…”

Sadness

I am sad
Not because you left me
Nor you are not there to make me feel all right
I am sad
For the love I had fir you
For the love that you never had for me
You never needed me like the way I did
All you did was, played your part in a theater
Yes, this is a selfish poem for you
For you left me oh so selfish
