Invasion

Invasion, this is a picture of the lake inside Lalbagh, Bangalore on a very cloudy day. Looking at the sky I felt like the dark clouds would descend down upon us with fury. 

Sharing a Smile

How often do we smile? i always ask myself this question when I feel the lines tighten my forehead almost choking my brain. Somewhere in this rat race we have almost forgotten to smile, we hardly smile at home, office how can we, with so much work, and to strangers on the road, out of question. The biggest irony of life I always felt was watching the laughter club in parks of almost every city. We need to fix a time, tell ourselves laughter is good for health and force ourselves to laugh out loud while all the while life keeps throwing you moments of joy, of laughter all around. Here is me sharing a smile with all of you, lets smile and laugh and leave behind the worries that plague our lives.

Making of a SuperStar

Often we come across people saying "if only I had the money to buy that, I could have excelled." "If only  my parents had agreed to send me to those classes, I would have conquered the world."
"If only I was as talented as him, I could have done something with my life."
"I am better than my neighbor that is enough for me."

We never for a second think what makes people excel, the difference between someone who breaks records and leaves the competition behind is that he is not competing with the world he is competing against himself.
Life will never be perfect, never will we have a perfect scenario where everything falls in place, the only thing that stops us from pushing ahead is ourselves, the single difference between a winner and a loser is that the winner wanted it more than the loser. The only aspect that makes superstars is the determination to become one regardless of the how hard life can hit you in your face.

BreakFast

This simple looking toast was a complimentary breakfast I had at a hotel in Pondy, though there was nothing to the toast or the bland orange juice I had this breakfast after being hungry for almost 20 hours so it looked like the most delightful meal of the day.

After a dear friend of mine in the blogging world requested for pictures of the Bangalore Metro I went to ride the Metro.

Hiding my from line of sight I managed to snap a couple of pictures from the Metro train.
