Drops of Life

Yesterday i had gone to sinhagad along with a friend . The atmosphere was amazing with light showers sprinkling from the sky and cool wind blowing strong. The top was heavily covered with clouds and there was a pleasant chill in the air. Took this snap on our way up ... the rain had stopped and the sparkling drops of water dripping from the plants looked very beautiful.

The Rocks and the Waves

Last week a couple of my friends and me had been on a short trip to Goa. This snap here, was taken at Anjuna beach. This is the kind of beach i like. rocky and jagged... where you can sit on the rocks (ya even though sometimes they really bite into your butt...:P) and watch the waves breaking against the rocks. hear the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks.
It is interesting to watch the duel between the sea and the rocks. each wave knows that its going to be destroyed as it hits the rocks. still they keep on coming one after another. and the rocks, know that the sea is going to keep it hitting continuously, but still they stand resisting the constant onslaught of the waves. does anyone know who wins this duel? I guess this is something thats never going to end.

Thomas Jefferson has rightly said about this duel between the water and rock: "In matters of style swim with the current and in matters of principles stand like a rock." cheers...

The Harvest

A good harvest ... this is what we need now. With the world facing an acute food shortage and skyrocketing prices, i post this picture and pray that we will get over this problem as soon as possible.

The Body Outline

Poor guy ... thats what anyone would think after seeing this image. A body outline of an accident victim drawn by the police. Is that what it is? NO ...

This is work of a creative mind, right in the middle of one of the busiest roads in Pune. For the last week or so this 'work of art' is on display in the Garware Chowk on Karve road. And not just a body outline ... the helmet of the supposed victim is also lying near the body. And this is not the only one .. another of such outline was spotted in some other part of city as well which confirms that this is no real body outline by the police. Somebody out there sure has a weird sense of humor. :P

Thanda Thanda ... Cool Cool

Wow ... After a hot day there is nothing more refreshing than a glass of cold coffee. Just take some chilled milk add some coffee and sugar ... whisk it up with a blender and there you are, its ready in a minute. Add some ice cubes if you want and sprinkle some drinking chocolate on the top. This one is surely going to satisfy your soul. Cheers ....

Oranges

Why is an orange orange? Is it that the colour is named after the fruit? Or is it the fruit named after the colour? This seems to be like the chicken and egg story. But orange is not the only fruit which is also a colour. Olive and Peach are two other fruits which are also a colour. One more interesting thing about the word orange is that it is probably the only word in english which does not have an exact rhyming word. Amazing ... you never even think of such things. Language is only as interesting as you can get interested in it.

Books

This post is coming on the occasion of World Books Day. Well i wont say much on this post (maybe as i have already written a lot on my other blog). Just one quote
