Re-view

Whatever you call it, a review or a re-view of the past year. here is it

• An year that tested my patience levels to the maximum
• An year where I had seen what stress can do to an individual
• An year where I kept my hobbies in tact despite of the "situations" I am put in
• An year that started off well, went to WORST, ended on positive note
• An year that would have otherwise changed my whole life, with the kind of decisions I had taken this year!!!
• At personal life level, I wish it won't get worse than this!!!

Ok , off the serious tone..

• People pointed out at my protruding belly... need to work on that. (Instant Solution- Buy XL size and cover it up, exercising is tough..duh)
• Job is boring, wish god changes my manager overnight!!
• My office bus had boring people!!
• God save this world from dumbos, I had seen enough of them this year.

Now, the resolutions for new year:

• Exercise (without pain)
• Exercise more.... & more.. & more
• Explore North East at least this year, 2 years of failed promises looks ugly
• The NGO work that has taken backseat last year has to be pursued actively
• Birds are beautiful, study more, see more(no hidden meanings), learn and spread the joy
• Blog more...
• Re-look at your salary, it s**** a big time, do something about it!!
• Look for prospective donors for a DSLR camera !!! (bhutan lottery, Sikkim lottery etc)
• Read more (the lirbary membership fee is going waste)
• Buy a bicycle (long time pending), cycle to office
• Stop proscrastination (unlike what you did to this post)

that's it folks...

Hope this new year brings more happiness and joy in your lives and be a memorable one....

The "much needed" vacation

Finally, I grabbed time to update my blog after looooong vacation. Had a memorable trip down to Coastal karnataka. Watched the last sun set of last year followed by the sunrise on the first day of the year that made me spell bound(i still had the images reeling in front of my eyes).

A detailed report on the vacation will follow. But for the time being here are some pics I loved- made during the vacation.

"Makara Sankranti" is the time of the year where the farmers bring home their yield and rejoice with family. Here is the corn yield pile! Wish you all a happy sankranthi!



Here is a NATURE CANVAS I found at Bandipur at the day-break!!


I tried some B & W images off late and loved the feel in these..here are couples of them..


One more... look at the "change of times" in this one!!



I sing off this post with one beautiful image. Here is the First sun of the year.. emerging from the clouds-clad hills near Agumbe. Wishing a great beginning in your life and a great year ahead!!
