A Moment

As I stepped out on the beach for a walk, I was just in time to catch the sunset. The chilly breeze laden with the smell of the sea was a tonic after the hectic week I had. As I walked, I witnessed one of the most amazing displays of mother nature. The sun was kissing the horizon goodbye with a splendid array of spectacular red and gold. The waves moaned gently against the beach, slowly spreading the flaming twilight on the silky sand. Time stood still as I gazed and sucked in the moment as much and as fast as I could. Then, just like it began, it disappeared and darkness descended without effort, beckoning me to trace my footsteps back to the warmth of my home. 

Central Park

This is the Green Fairy in Central Park. [I don’t know what she actually is, so I called her the green fairy from her outfit]. She is there every day, in the cold, in the sun, not moving. The inclement weather has no effect in her stillness. At first glance, she can pass for a statue. But if you drop some donation in her handbag at her feet, she will blow kisses at you and pose for a beautiful picture. What ever her message is, I am  intrigued to see her there everyday. Stillness is her move. 

Happy Thanksgiving

I am on my way to The City right now. No, I am not taking a day off on Thanksgiving day. I do not remember when I took my last day off on a public holiday. This is one sacrifice you make when you are working in the hospitality industry. The festive season has begun in New York, and the world over where everybody is geared up for lots and lots of fun. Unfortunately for anybody working in the service trade, this is the season where you break your backs and wear your heads out in making sure everybody is having great fun. 

On Thanksgiving day, families gather from every corner of the world to dine and pray over a fat Turkey. I know, poor Turkeys. But the bigger, the grander. I will be serving a lot of people tonight. Hopefully the party would wind up in time as planned. I have plans to go out and unwind myself over a bottle of Corona and maybe take a stroll in Central Park if I am not too tired. I have an invitation from my friend to join her family to celebrate, but I think I will skip it. I will be working late anyway and besides, I do not want to intrude into a family gathering. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Photography

I have invested yet another fifty dollars on my expensive hobby, photography today. I added a tripod to my compilation. Please do not ask me if I took any pictures, I cannot simply make head or tail of photography. I have had my camera for a while though, and a mean looking one I have. I have been taking a few shots here and there, but it never came out as I expected, so it mostly landed up in the little trash can in the camera somewhere. Well, I have to admit I had a few lucky clicks once in a while without ever knowing how to get that same shot the second time. 

I never owned a camera when I was a kid and I was really “camera shy”. I still am. 

Hello Again

I am back! Ok, first things first. It was just one of my  disappearing acts. Let me admit I can’t stay away from my blog. Every great mind needs an outlet and this serves mine in my own small world. Of late, I had been real busy. There aren’t enough hours in a day to do all the things I need to do. I panicked and posted a quick ‘Gone Fishing’ note on my blog, suspended my social networking profile on Facebook and settled for work. I did achieve a lot and made good progress. In the mean time, I have earned a lot of trouble for not keeping in touch with my dear and loved ones. My mom even went to the local psychic to find out what was going on with me. She had worried I must be sick or something. I guess I am a social dork. I am simply not good in keeping touch with people. I know I have a lot of explanations to do when I meet my family and friends. Some think I have changed. Some think I’ve become a snob. Some think I am deliberately staying away from them. But the fact is, it has nothing to do with anybody. I really don’t know how to explain this. Every time I sit on my computer to write an email, my mind goes blank and I never reach the end to click on the send button. This makes me wonder if I should go back to college and graduate. 

Everything will remain sans I

Thank you folks, for visiting my blog

Thank you for your warm thoughts

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

But I must take a break now

I will be gone for a while

Don't know when I'll be back

If incase you don't read my posts again

Be assured, you will be remembered

And till we cross paths in time to come

Stay happy, be healthy and keep smiling.

Little Rooms

I was cleaning my room tonight. I had been busy with work lately, and my room was beginning to get messy. The laundry started piling too. It took me two whole hours before I could put away my clothes and vacuum  the rug. Through the process, I began to fall in love with my room. I found a new realization that I was lucky to have this room all by myself. It is not a big and impressive room to brag about, but I had all the basic needs. I take pride in the clean pair of white sheets. The table lamp, which I bought off in Lowe’s has a glass base and looks good. The wireless internet has never failed in my room and keeps me connected with my loved ones everyday. The hot and cold air works perfect. The ocean mist blue walls are clean and without soot.I even have a separate drawer for my boxers. If you peep into my room, it’s just anything but an ordinary 10‘x10’ room with a bed in the centre and just enough room around to stretch myself. Let me tell you why I love this room so much....
