bring the umbrellas out. Again!

Monsoons have picked up a flair for fooling us Goans. After leaving Goa wet and mossy, and being applauded for the best in 5 years, the monsoons pretended to take our leave. And just when we thought the clothes would dry crisp in the sun, it's back to soak us all. Poor umbrellas will have to wait a little longer for their hibernation. :). And this little fella has no problems with the rain.

Rio, Our 'little' Hound.

This is Rio. He's an Indian Hound. The breed is Mudhol. They are native to the Southern part of India, state of Karnataka. This one is just 5 months of age. A riot already. A stark change at home in comparision to our well behaved queen Genie who's a 11 yr labrador. He keeps us on our toes. Well, we love him for just that.

Jasmines, Lillies and Rain

It has been a busy week but I'm not complaining for a change. I've been wanting to hunt and shoot some pictures for a while. With the rains and all. With absolutely no time i thought i'd do the honors this weekend. But, i lost my resolve today and here i am with some pictures of the beautiful flowers and plants in my garden and then the battery died on me. :(. Well more tomorrow.

Teacher.

I've heard that Life is the most patient teacher of all. It makes you go through the same things till you learn, till you grow, till u accept to change for better. I wonder if this teacher has pet students and if these are let off easy. It's strange how much one rebuke from life can change your perspective. I've probably been a bad student. I hope the patience with me continues.  :).
Here's one picture from Sachin's  album to go with the mood.

Really?

Well,as if to prove to myself that i'm sane, i started what i loved doing few years back. Making random sketches. These sketches usually show me what i'm feeling at one point cause these are made without deliberation. They just happen. Today's sketch surprised  me. It definitely did not prove any sanity.

Silly Me.

One of those days where blogging seems meaningless. So does watching TV. Or reading a book. or a ringing a friend up. Or just about anything. Feels strangely empty. But not Sad. The only thing meaningful seems taking a deep breath and starting the day all over again, with a new background music, a softer one.

Dino comes home.

I've always wanted to name one of my pets Dino (as in "Dye no"). Now i already have the likes of Brandy, Genie and Rio already who are 2 labradors and 1 Indian Hound respectively. But i guess the next one will be Dino. I recently picked up a lil Hippo from a Home Deco Expo. I find his shaking head very cute. He has to get a place on my Blog. So here goes

Where's the Beach??

After what seems like a long long time (and some ) we took off gallivanting. And it felt so nice. The rain drops on your face can be good healer I've learnt. We went to our favorite Beach. And were shocked!! The Beach wasn't there. The Rains had eaten away most of it. But the sight was still so beautiful. I wonder if i'm insane. Some more Rain's fury pictures in the next post

Rains, Work and Chai.

Goa is beautiful!!! I want to declare this from rooftops to anyone who still doesn't believe it. The parched fields are Green again. Our backyard is lovely again. :). The skies are gray. I wish i could keep looking out of my window till eternity. Ah!!! Alas! Work plays dirty now. Chai keeps me from banging my work and stepping out in the Rain.

Donkey Donkey Old and Gray!

Donkey, Donkey, Old and Gray, Open your mouth. And gently bray;. Lift your ears, And blow your horn, To wake the world this sleepy morn.



I Found this mother-son duo standing still in a street in Malleshwaram in Bangalore. They were probably enjoying the amazing weather on that weekend by just standing still.

On Cloud Nine.

I have always loved clouds. Well, who doesn't? I love the promise of rain that they bring, The shapes that they change into, the romantic effect that they leave behind. Monsoons are en-route Goa. Horrid Heat, you better hide.

Window to the Soul

Ever wondered why Ladakh, Tibet,.....are almost synonymous with Spirituality, otherworldliness, Divinity,...??  I have. I always wonder what is it about these places that pulls everyone from around the world. Why is it home to the most powerful of saints/monks? Favoritism by God himself i guess. For me it is the unbeatable ethereal quality that this place holds. I'm coming. Sooooon.

Ladakh and me.

I've been away from the blog for a long time. Did not have the motivation to write or put up any pictures. I'm getting obsessed with Ladakh. :-) . I'm haunting the albums of Ladakh. And drooling all over them. 

This is one of those pictures which brings a smile to my face. Clever shot. "Ooooo Pahadi ke peeche saab" types. And the B/W makes it even better. Some of these pictures have the privilege of being framed in pretty frames in the house
