Relax

Relax, originally uploaded by ~OM~ ॐ छाया चित्रालय.

What comes to my mind when I hear this word is

1. My jeans
2. My Kurta
3. Sitting in the park, under a tree, on a bench, lying down
4. Doing nothing
5. Staring at the sky
6 Counting the stars
7. Follow the leaves the wind blows
8. Have a cup of tea on a road side stall
9. Standing at the door of a train compartment when the train is moving and staring into space
10. Being myself...

Hope you have a "just what you like" relaxing weekend !!! Amen !

The Sound of Romance...

The Sound of Romance..., originally uploaded by ~OM~ ॐ छाया चित्रालय.

The long trinnnnggg and the rush to pick up the phone before anyone else picks it up, the cheer when it was her, and the dissapointment when it was for dad...

The not knowing when she will call again, and the not knowing who will pick if I called...

The blank Calls and the smiles that followed... the short calls the empty it left...

I miss the Sound of Romance !

Seen at the Trafalgar Square in London. A very popular place in case you want to see a lot of pigeons together !!!

Personally, I feel that London pigeons are very lazy... most of them just don't want to fly :)

The National Monument in Edinburgh is a memorial to those who died in Napoleonic Wars and is located on the top of Carlton Hill. It was supposed to be a replica of Parthenon, however due to lack of funds only one side of the construction was completed.

I don't quite believe it !!!

Seen here is the sky from Loch Ness, arguably the most popular lake in Scotland and maybe the world as well because of the tales of Nesse, the dragon. A day tour of the beautiful country of Scotland is incomplete without a visit and the ferry ride in Loch Ness.

What looks distorted might be picture perfect... what is needed is the right point of view !!!




p.s. The Word Anamorph is from the Greek Ana(again) and morphe(form). It refers to a distorted image that can only be formed again with the aid of a curved mirror (Anamorphoscope).

Seen here is an Anamorph from one of the best galleries I have ever been to, Camera Obscura, Edinburgh, Scotland...

He is the lead drummer of the scottish band Clanadonia... Me and Abhishek were walking around in Edinburgh (Queen's Mile) when the sounds from the drums and pipes of Clanadonia made us figure out what was happening. The next 30 minutes were more than what my words can justify. Please do visit their site and listen to a few samples. I feel good to have a CD of their performance. Something that peps me up without fail every time I listen to it...

Manchester, the home to Man-U and Man-City Football Clubs is more like a city of castles and larger than life buildings... Walking around the town was very similar to how I feel when I walk in the BBD Bagh area of Calcutta...
