Me?
I usually take a bus to work. Traffic usually eats up to an hour and to avoid the rush hour, I often board a little early. The problem is, everybody think along the same line and the roads are packed an hour early before the start of office time.
On one of such slow journey, I started to chat with my fellow commuter. He was as frustrated as I was. We got off in no time.
“Sheesh, man the traffic today! It’s not even budging
Tell me something that I don’t know!
Hahahahahahahaha
And then, man is the inflation rising. It’s putting up more weight than my tummy.
The gas price keeps rising. I’m seriously thinking of buying a mountain bike.
In this heat and dusty place? You better buy loads of deodorant and other beauty products as well man!
You know what happened the other night?
Uh huh? I’m all ears.
The doctor next door was kidnapped! They are asking gazillion dollars as ransom!
Sheesh! If the government can’t solve a simple traffic jam, how can we trust it to flatten crime rates! And it’s not that hard as well, this traffic jam being some stupid head driving in the wrong way.
Yup, as a biker I can get away negotiating creeks and bends, but dude how are you suppose to enter a bus through an already cramped place?
Precisely! When the road has enough potholes that puts the lunar surface to shame, you got to drive in the lane, no matter how much ridiculous it make you look!
Look at that sucker! (points at the punk who is busy conquering the footpaths with his bike) [Sticks his head out of the window and yells] Go and die sucker!
People like that should rot in thousand hells! Whatever happened to civic sense? ok, it’s not like that I haven’t done it, but I was in rather hurry and was about to miss the first day first show!”
(is still yelling at the top of his lungs)"
All the passengers in the bus are getting frustrated by now. A gentleman decided he had enough and barked, “Why don’t you go and do something about it?”
“Me? I’m just going to the office!”

Returning home
Even on a hectic day, ruined by bullshit, people with crappy attitudes and know-it-all, the thought of having cozy nest to return to makes makes me get through the day.

Hand of the gods
I am trying, nay forcing, myself to see things a little differently. I even went to the extent of cooking myself a new adage that goes on something like this: If you see things differently, you'll see different things. And, that largely describes the way I'm teaching myself photography: by opening up my eyes to things that other people are too busy to see.
Clicked here is the pic of the wooden struts of a temple I must have passed a hundred thousand times, without taking a moment to marvel at its beauty. One night, after dropping off my friend, I took a longer route through the ancient palace complex. Then as of in invitation fine droplets of rain started to make its way from the heaven. I looked up as I unfolded my umbrella and I sat there for a moment being mesmerized what I saw. I hurried for my camera, and the rest, as they say, is written in images and words. Camera: Canon S3 IS.

The world in a dewdrop
To see the world in a dewdrop... I wonder how beautiful would that be. Taken in Sauraha, along the banks of Rapti River, Chitwan. After spending the better part of the day in a boring seminar (I was the one giving the lecture! Now you can imagine what others felt!), I was elated when the timekeeper finally rang the completion bell. A 15 min snail-stroll and we could already see the wonderful river banks, made more dramatic by the setting sun. The bamboo cottages built along the banks provided the perfect setting for this image.

Is she watching...?
If God truly is omnipresent, is she watching you when you change your dress? Think about it!
