Site seeing - Rajasthan, India

Long long time ago.. when I was a kid :)... my Dad took us to several tours... one of them being Rajasthan.. am being constantly reminded of those golden moments of the feel of the sand, wind and dry parched Rajasthan climate... it was during the month of october... what amazed me most was the sand dunes.. the shifting sand creating 'patterns in motion' on the face of earth.. what amazing beauty, and how gracefully the camels make it seem so easy to walk in sand and vast stretches of it.. where the eye leads you ... 'all you see, is a sea of sand'.. sure.. why not.. I dont live there... what if I had to live there? in the sandy Thar desert of Rajasthan... got nostalgic about those moments since our conversation @ lunch with colleagues.. The beautiful city of Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaipur.... right in the middle of the Rajasthani people steeped in poverty is the utmost luxurious 'palace on wheels' a paradise offered for foreigners... the stark blend of poverty with filthy rich... food for thought...

Writing

My God!!!! what nonsense I write.. have been asking my friends to read it and send their feedbacks on this ???? gosh!!! looks like i have lost it :).. used to write long long time ago.. waking up early in the morning.. freshness of dawn just filtered pure thoughts in to my mind... and then the pen wud just follow the thoughts...

The weekend trip..

Was long awaited and wonderful... felt really good to get back with old friends and chat to my hearts content about the bygone days.. exchange notes on what has changed since then... was good to c all the kids too.. had a blast at the party.. although the host was a new family in town.. a crude realization dawned that nothing is really my own.. its a stop in my journey thru life... its disappointing.. u see some... u feel some.. as u move, things change around u .. yet the lasting feeling of togetherness, of friendship, of relationship is what binds u to this world.. no material possession can ever suffice ur inner being - the Soul..

Its the seasons 1st snow

Thats the picture taken right outside my home.. doesnt look like a lot does it.. Finally its here.. Boy!!!! tomorrows gonna b a snow day.. You wanna bet? Woke up early morning to see all the snow melt away and 'bang' back to reality.. v r going to school.. my daughter woke up cranky... and as for me - cant miss work since its not a snow day... it snowed for a couple of hours yesterday.. yet during the early hour commute.. zilch!!! niente'!!!! its all gone.. talk about global warming... the only consolation for kids .. they get to keep the President's Day holiday for february..:).. well about holidays - 'the more the merrier'.. lets c how tomorrow looks.. it better not spoil our weekend trip :)
