four years... Over the clouds

Its been solid 4 years after my last post. I had been in college back then, now am a working professional.. very soon will get married and then I have a life to Live.

In the gone years - i made so so so many friends and connections, that I am amazed, if I would have been here had I planned my life step by step.

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.” ~ steve jobs

With the last 4 years gone by, yes.. i can connect the dots. There was a reason, i chose engineering - to finally  work in my dream company - to get to visit the Americas (part of the package am glad for) - rejected in an interview in one of the competing companies - only to travel again.

Fell out of love with the dream guy(will smith no no Surya... ahem..) - to find the best match anyone could make- got admitted in 2 B School in the US - but did not attend cos of financial constraints - only to be married soon.

Now what am I doing? Hmmm... writing this blog :P. Jokes apart - moved ON. Yeah !!! Moved on from Orkut to Facebook - from Nokia 1100 to Blackberry torch ;) - from Desktop to Laptop - from Digi Cam to SLR, from being dependent to INDEPENDENT.

Its a great feeling having to read your old blogs and feel you were much better with words back then. 

And yeah I forgot , I have become a food critic now.. check out the link and find some interesting eat outs in chennai. And yeah - dont forget, if you wish to have a place reviewed, Leave a comment below.

You might even wonder, if I already had a space on the net for food, why i need this blog space. Simple - in the food column, most of my pictures cannot be accommodated and less of my writing is needed owing to space limit. 

Now venturing into the Food fest with a sore throat.. god forgive, all spicy foods are gonna be bland for me.

a shot in the air

 
It was a beautiful morning and priya and I were walking on the beach, our usual morning walk, as we witnessed an unusual crowd on the beach. Curious as we always are, we walked towards the crowd and discovered that a movie was being shot and that was why people were so enthusiastic. Laughing aloud at the crowd's patience for the Nth take of the shot, we just wondered how these people who couldnt bear to stand for more than an hour in front of post offices or railway stations without grumbling, were so quiet and attentive to the five steps the actor took almost for the 9th time with so much interest.

Isnt it India... And that pacified things in our mind. We people are still fascinated about the sudden cropping of Circuses and a foreigner asking us for a lost address. And so innocent we are, where the West calls us ignorant minds... But when we are nothing more than Innocent minds. And proud are we, for we know that living is not knowing everything and expecting the outcome, instead the beauty of living is, living every moment and taking it with surprise.

And this picture was another surprise, this couple possibly from one of the countries on the north of us, were trying to fly a kite. And it ws so much pleasure to see it gently scaling up, to the swaying breeze and morning sun. We rarely fly a kite here in our place, so this was indeed a pleasure to see.

Of prejudices and pride..

A slight flash of hope..
There is the dawn..

HIPS DON"T LIE

Ladies up in here tonight
No fighting, no fighting
We got the refugees up in here
No fighting, no fighting

Shakira, Shakira

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
Hey Girl, I can see your body moving
And it's driving me crazy
And I didn't have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing

And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl
And everything so unexpected - the way you right and left it
So you can keep on taking it

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel you boy
Come on lets go, real slow
Don't you see baby asi es perfecto

Oh I know I am on tonight my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
Shakira, Shakira

Oh boy, I can see your body moving
Half animal, half man
I don't, don't really know what I'm doing
But you seem to have a plan
My will and self restraint
Have come to fail now, fail now
See, I am doing what I can, but I can't so you know
That's a bit too hard to explain

Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día

Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You know you got me hypnotized
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

Senorita, feel the conga, let me see you move like you come from Colombia

Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, say it!
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así

Yeah
She's so sexy every man's fantasy a refugee like me back with the Fugees from a 3rd world country
I go back like when 'pac carried crates for Humpty Humpty
I need a whole club dizzy
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Colombians and Haitians
I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction
No more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas 'cause we own our own boats

I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel you boy
Come on let's go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto

Oh, you know I am on tonight and my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this is perfection

No fighting
No fighting
