Convoluted Thoughts ...

Sleep beckons.. Still, I'm an insomniac at heart. Some things will never change; in my case, I'm sure it will be my sleep pattern. I never sleep early.
I love the charms of the night.
Night takes me on a high and brings about a wondrous exaltation of my senses. I know that I'm a lonely starry-eyed tramp walking the high road of life. Night is all around me. I enjoy the darkness.
Darkness abounds in secrets; I love playing the role of a treasure hunter. I seek out treasures from the long lost warps of time. I thrive on the thrill and Night provides me all of that. I'm grateful. It has been such a great friend and our friendship will last the travails of time.

Sleep is another friend..and Dreams strengthen my bond with this other great friend of mine.
I'm wild. Let me spend some time in the darkness.

Have a good night.

Valentine's Day!

I almost forgot that today is Valentine's Day. Well, I wish a happy V-day to all ..
Let there be love along with light.
The world is scarred by war. Ultimately, love wins all battles ..
Let it wake up to a perennial season of love.
Peace.

Life's chugging along as usual! I finished reading "Life of Pi" today ...totally engrossing read, it's easily the best one I've read this year. I can already imagine myself as Pi Patel, sailing the Pacific in a lifeboat with a Royal Bengal Tiger for company :).

I live in a world of dreams, I dream about adventure,travel and leisure.. As they say, reality bites! My life is far removed from all I want it to be but I'm not complaining. I've learned to separate dreams from reality.. I've reached a point in life where the path forward is forked into two..one, they say, is the path towards success, the well-trodden path ..the one which is forced upon me by reality. The other strays off into the wilderness, promising none of success and all that comes with it.. but it is enchanting, refreshing and promises happiness,meaning and fosters desire.My brain chooses the former path while my heart beats for the latter. The laws of human biology state emphatically that the brain makes all our decisions, the heart is just another bundle of muscles supplying blood. I'm no exceptional human; my brain makes all my decisions.I'll take the path chosen by reality.

Yet, I vow to come back.. come back to where it all began and make the most important decision of my life- I'll take the path of my dreams.
I'll listen to my heart. I'll listen with diligent ears.

Life is good.

Phew !! I can't believe that January got over so fast. It has been a month of holidaying of sorts ... had the opportunity to go to a lot of places, I'm really feeling happy right now :) !
Capped off a wonderful month with a trip to a place called Mankayam last Wednesday .. It was a revelation! The waterfalls were fantastic and the trip was even better than the one to Ponmudi!
Had a most entertaining encounter with our school principal (no, I left school four years back!)
... Talk about serendipity! I still laugh my head off when I recount that funny incident to my friends. Those are truly memories to savour!

(nice ways to cool off minds which work overtime!)









(rented glasses :P)









(no comments ;)










I have a lot of memories regarding that trip .. the tourist guide (presumably so!) who literally killed us with his stale jokes and highly imaginative stories , the gang of B.com students who were on back-slapping terms towards us(apparently due to the high percentage of alcohol in the their blood!), the tale of the school principal (with his gang of elderly friends) who got the rudest shock of his life :D , the wonderful packed lunch from a decrepit restaurant in Palode, my experiments with the bajaj pulsar 180, the case of the missing camera bag, the prospect of a banishment from home( a little bit exaggerated, of course!) ... Ah , I guess I'll be back there soon!

(we were freezing!) (daredevil photography :D)

Travel bug's bitten me hard this year. Wanderlust has truly set in !
