Seriously, what WERE they thinking?

July 30, 2010

Yum yum!

I think she landed in the wrong place - she probably wanted Alaska :)

Am in a good mood today. No picture yet, but had another one of those 'oh my mind is a camera' moments. Plus I felt a little chatty :)

I realized how all of us kind of walk to a little beat - kind of like an inaudible sountrack in the background. Or maybe just that lack of sunshine has my mood upbeat. Either ways, I recommend this. Next time you are walking on a busy busy road, put on your headphones and have a nice upbeat song with some nice rythme blasting through your ipod (or zune or whatever it is you like). Then people watch - we all sway our hips to some unheard of music, I swear I could time it to my song. The movements of the arms, the bends, the turns - I even saw a dog trotting to the song I was listening to!! I think I had a goofy smile on my face by the time I reached the book store and had to write this down.

It was silly but was fun. I might have to try it again some day. And then everyone will dance to my tune!

Sometimes, a picture does not need a camera to be captured, it gets captured in your head. Or you have to capture it in your head because you forget your stupid camera at home! As I was walking back to the office for a meeting, I wished I had my camera - the first reason was coz' they were shooting transformers, this time from a copter. Could've had an awesome shot of a helicopter. But sigh!

The second reason made me feel worse, now I really really wished I hadn't left my camera at home. And it made me realize how some laws can save your life and probably mean the difference between life and death.

As I walked closer to my office, I noted that one side of Michigan ave. (as if you haven't figured out where I am based yet - ha!) was in a total gridlock. There was a laaaaaarge bus turned at an awkward angle making the resolution of the jam even more trickier. And then I heard the wail of an ambulance from 5 blocks down! There was no way the ambulance could have made it on the right side, so the ambulance guy just drove through oncoming traffic lane! And boy did he maneuver! It would have made a nice shot, I know I took the picture in my head.

It's two weeks before my next exam - yep I scheduled it for August 9th finally. I am still going out for my daily picture hunt but the route is the same everyday - home to borders and back. Having said that, yes I have pictures for you my dear blog. I haven't forgotten about you, since you are one stable thing in my life. But I think I might be highly irregular in putting them up for the next few days. So stay tuned!

Okay, so I did go out but could not take a picture. Thought I will put this up - it's so much fun watching this show again!

They looked so cute getting their wedding pictures taken and she looked gorgeous in that dress!

Don't know what this was for but it always attracts my attention!

We want JUSTICE!

We want NOW!

Now that is how we protest - organized and peaceful!

"Yeh zindagi dard bhi hai
yeh zindagi hai dawa bhi
dil todna hee na jaane
jaane yeh dil jodna bhi..."

It's an old old song and I probably don't follow their advice and live in the present. But I have always liked this verse.

Yes, I know, enough already with the movie. But am stuck with it and so are you. Good news though, I chatted with a member of the crew today and they are moving locations tomorrow - thank God for that - the guy was amused when I actually blurted that out :)

People huddled together to watch the shoot!

Sometimes happiness can be unexpected and needs no direct relation to you! Am happy :)

You don't see a car like this every day!

They moved to a new location today. Could not get a good pic, the camera was at home :(

Back home!

July 16, 2010

Taco Bell - Yummy :)
The raasta to get there - scary :(

July 15, 2010

I sat in a car today :)

And the airline lost my baggage!

This song matches my mood today and the video is one of the most heartbreaking one's I have seen. I am too scared to even look this movie up!

First Batman, then Transformers and now another movie. Gosh, we are getting famous!

Yesterday July 13, 2010

He played pretty well and caught my attention as I was walking back home...

No pic today. Was tired and wanted to focus on studying so did not go out at all. Might have something tomorrow - we'll see...

I would, if I could, fly away
Far away to a distant sky
No roots holding me down no more
no shackles binding on my feet
Wonder, I do, like a flightless bird
Oh freedom must be so bitter sweet

I would, if I could, fly away
Like a cloud free in the sky
Like silver moonlight lighting the night
Like raindrops falling from up so high

But stay I must, oh must I stay?
For tender love that holds me so
Has got my heart in it's sway
So selfish demon hidden in my soul
You must bide your time
Maybe some other place, some other day!

Display at Macys :)

Another day of walking, another cute puppy :) Wait wait - this is not all - got another one!


There was a huge crowd collected in the middle of the city for some reason. Someone (zoom in on the black dude with his hands raised) was either preaching or teaching something or maybe a combination of both. every now and then people would collectively go "yaaaaay". Didn't stick around for a better picture since was in a serious study mode. It's crunch time people!

Think they are twins? Cute!

Okay, this might be cheating (just a little though). This was a pic that I took on a recent trip and really liked it. That day is marked by another pic on the blog but I think this deserves a mention too :)

So I totally meant to go out for the walk today - was planning on sitting and studying at the bookstore with a warm cup of coffee right next to me! BUT I got hungry - so I thought let me have dinner before I leave. Then I got sleepy so I scratched going out altogether :(

Will have something for you tomorrow for sure oh faithful followers! I promise!

Good to be back home :)

Yummy!

Laut ke budhhu ghar ko aaye!

This place has so much natural beauty it is a treat for the eyes.

Cute puppy!

All kinds of daaru

Martinis

Screwdrivers

And Tequila!

Now that was some housewarming :)

It is a magical place, must I really be a grown up and leave?
