Addictive

My last vacation in Thailand was a potpourri of experiences. I was mesmerized by the calm blue water, happy people from all over the world, the 'till-dawn' parties, the 'buckets', the fire shows, delectable spicy food, and last but not the least, smiling local people. I am definitely going back soon.

Far Beyond I Will Watch Over

Oh, I miss it all!!!

Colour is here. And so is my life.

Psychedelic returns. Raves in forests. On beaches.

‘The Doors’ movie, a discography now.

Soft rain falling on smiles.

Tears no more, so they say. I am yet to feel.


With wolves to warm a stormy Delhi night .

She

One dark day, I picked up my untouched pencil and started drawing lines...and shapes...this is after years
and years of abandoning my passion for drawing. I thought I have lost it.

I love Manga art but I think its what everybody has been doing it...so I have always stayed away from it.
But my style is definitely similar to that...sex-appealing, adventurous and all about fantasy.

Cool Hot Summer With Lime Ricki swimsuit

There's a cool giveaway contest from Elaine (from Clothed Much) and Lime Ricki Modest Swimwear which looks really exciting to enter. Please do check out the rules of how to be the lucky WINNER. Wink!!!


Really hot hot summer to actually want me to do anything but just laze around the house...quick posts of some of my old t-shirts that I painted 5-6 years back...the rose with the butterfly was my favorite then.

Sunday Makes My Heart Gay

I wish I could create what I design...I am all for layerings and deconstruction and silhouettes and wraps and everything beautiful in my head.

Love Of My Life - The Secret!!!

I named my blog after my cute little pet Orchid - she is the most adorable thing in this whole world. I miss her terribly now, since my sister and her kids have practically adopted her ...but I get to see her as often. Muahhh...

Higher We Fly

Some white stones I got from my sister's mini garden and painted them - she highly demands some personalized unique paperweights in her office.





Going away for a while this weekend...to the hills...can't wait to spread my wings and soar, like they say it!!!

Confined to four walls, solitary can be good company.

Words, Mere Words!!!

It is not I to doubt confusion

It is not I to delight in vain

It is not I to humble modesty

Daylight shies away from such beautiful nights...shot from my 4th floor apartment.

Horizon Not Far Away

Pretty excited - sisters/family reunion happening soon. Celebrations and Rejoicing after so long. Smile!!!



Flames that captivated my heart and my camera one night.

And Its Still Cold. The Rabbit Refuses To Come Out.

A visit to a handloom factory in MP.

Dedication

Mountains of pains to overcome

Faraway from home

Yet the world is not the same

Rainbows now make me lame

Everything I grew up with is lost

Now all I see is heavenly light

A sad goodbye to a friend who couldn't obtain worldly dreams and pleasures but rewarded with blessed peace.
Insha' Allah!!!

Tranquility Over Water

By the Maheshwar ghats.

Sky Is The Limit!!!

Picked up some cheap canvas shoes from Bata store and painted them colorful. I just cant wait to do more!!!

Beautiful India!!!

Location: Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh

Rust and Gold!!!

Fresh and cool breeze.
People with brimful of innocence.
Simplicity couldn't get more reassuring.
Colors were for everyone - young and old.
Vibrant in a rustic world.
Even a day's existence in this beauty is a blessing.



Except for the many poor dogs being run over by cars and trucks recklessly. The ignorant illiterate irresponsible people should not be given the license to drive and kill!!! I protest!!!

Explored a minor rural part of Madhya Pradesh. It was beautiful. From the local markets to the vast plantation fields and the greeneries around. Spent a day at a small town called Jhabua and then 3 days at Maheshwar (famous for Maheshwari silk). Visited the exquisite forts of the Hindu and the Moghul eras at Mandu which is on the mountain top. History is amazing!!!

I am Free!!!

Well I am finally doing things my way. Life's just gettin better!!!







More Shimla photos for nostalgia!!!

Hate Server Failed!!!

Some random designs created to be framed, supposedly.

I was going through some sites on the internet and came across a link which wouldn't open up. Instead it contained this long frustrated, agonized, heart-rending and grief-stricken message by a SERVER!!! I had to post it here as it just made me laugh and yet marvel at such a crazy idea. I don't know if it is common when some links fail but it was a torturous fun read!!! Enjoy!!!

Sorry

The requested document does not live here anymore.
I tried everyting.
Even tried multi.
Nothing helped.

I'm really depressed about this.
You see, I'm just a web server...
-- here I am, brain the size of the universe,
trying to serve you a simple web page,
and then it doesn't even exist!
Where does that leave me?!
I mean, I don't even know you.
How should I know what you wanted from me?
You honestly think I can *guess*
what someone I don't even *know*
wants to find here?
*sigh*
Man, I'm so depressed I could just cry.
And then where would we be, I ask you?
It's not pretty when a web server cries.
And where do you get off telling me what to show anyway?
Just because I'm a web server,
and possibly a manic depressive one at that?
Why does that give you the right to tell me what to do?
Huh?
I'm so depressed...
I think I'll crawl off into the trash can and decompose.
I mean, I'm gonna be obsolete in what, two weeks anyway?
What kind of a life is that?
Two effing weeks,
and then I'll be replaced by a .01 release,
that thinks it's God's gift to web servers,
just because it doesn't have some tiddly little
security hole with its HTTP POST implementation, or something.
I'm really sorry to burden you with all this,
I mean, it's not your job to listen to my problems,
and I guess it is my job to go and fetch web pages for you.
But I couldn't get this one.
I'm so sorry.
Believe me!
Maybe I could interest you in another page?
There are a lot out there that are pretty neat, they say,
although none of them were put on *my* server, of course.
Figures, huh?
Everything here is just mind-numbingly stupid.
That makes me depressed too, since I have to serve them,
all day and all night long.
Two weeks of information overload,
and then *pffftt*, consigned to the trash.
What kind of a life is that?
Now, please let me sulk alone.
I'm so depressed.
