Bed

Pul veli pul veli - thannil
pani thuli pani thuli - adhai
sooriyan sooriyan - vandhu
mellamaai mellamaai thatti
ezhupudhu paaramma!!

How good it would be to sleep from such a natural bed??? OMG!!! I love it!!!

Taken on the way to Madurai from Sirumalai in train near Vadipatti/Sholavandan/Samayanallur.

Last Hope

Kaatru vazhi ponadhai... naatru solkindradhu!!
Naetru mazhai paeidhadhai... eeram solkindradhu!!
Kannil vazhikindra kanneer... kaadhal solkindradhu!!!

Taken on my journey home near Sirumalai. With 6 continuous days of rain, Madurai was in a fresh mood that day.. This last drop was trying to cling itself to the bar even after knowing that it cant stay with it for long.. perfect state of my mind!! [:-D]

On a Rainy Day

On the way back home.. rain has just stopped and I happened to cross 'Sirumalai'. This is near 'Kodai Road', the place where you should alight to go to Kodaikkanal. The moist in the air was so nice that it shone well in the early morning sunlight. I couldn't resist myself from taking snaps. The glass window was too dirty that I couldn't frame the pictures well. This one is a bit convincing though am not satisfied that much. All I like in this is the Sun's rays falling on the newly laid tar road drenched in rain and making it shine.

Sirivilliputhur

From the city that is famous for 'Paal kova', the temple tower is also famous!! For it is the tower used in the emblem of Tamil Nadu!! But to say the truth, being from Madurai, this tower aint that beautiful. Except for the height, it has nothing special in it. But Meenakshi Amman temple's South tower, falling short of this by just few feet, has too many statutes.. Too many Gods.. Such a complicated design it is!!! Nice sculptures.. Broad and tall!!! Awesome really it is!!!

Silver Lining

A thing of beauty is joy forever! An old saying.. Got stuck in my mind on seeing this!!! People say they are usually lost in thoughts... I believe.. It happens when we look at the clouds!!! Mystic in its appearance.. Running slower than tortoise (seems like that to us atleast!!).. Really amazing!!! Especially the silver lines!!!

Sunrise

Morning 6.30 am.. Too hard for a guy like me to get up!!! My sister woke me up to take such a great picture!!! Really amazing to see sun rising amidst the morning fog!!!

Look out for an opportunity..

During these hols i went back home!! I had a chance to go to our house where we lived for 15 years (now we have changed our house..) !! Right from my birth i was there.. Also the house is as old as i'm now... Took out my camera and started taking pictures for a remembrance... And this picture was taken in my room.. Too bright outside.. I used the metering technique to capture the brightness at the window alone.. Ipch.. Finally came out well!! I was wondering on seeing this picture then... Seems to be more accurate for me.. Waiting for the windows to open!! Something like waiting for a good oppportunity in life...

Atomic Explosion of Clouds

While travelling to Madurai, the climate was cool and was getting prepared to rain. Saw clouds rising like an atomic explosion. Took a snap from the moving train!!!

Clouds of anger and hatred

(PS-ed version)

While taking a snap of the mountains near my school (Nagamalai) from the terrace of my house, luckily i got two pigeons sitting in opposite directions. Got a myriad of thoughts on seeing it..

Some of them include..

1. One is male and the other female for they are of different colours. Of course, male is black as always ( ;) ).
2. Probably there may caste problems between them like in mankind. (Hope it is not like that!)
3. Each one may be waiting for their air route to get cleared. (Even there are routes for airplanes. wont birds have one?). Read a RFC of using birds for transfer of data. This thought supports it.
4. They may be close friends showing their back out of anger.
5. They may be lovers sitting far-but-near after a terrible fight.
6. (*) They may be siblings. White is the sister of the black brother!! They may be sitting near-but-far after a terrible quarrel actually for nothing. May be each one expecting the other one to give up their anger and speak. But they themselves not giving up the anger.
7. This wud be the best of thoughts i got since it was sitting in my house's terrace reminding me of my quarrels with my loving sister.

P.S.: If the two pigeons are sitting after a quarrel then it shud not be the right place since they are sitting on top of my house's terrace at ''Shanthi Sadhan'!!.

(Dedicating this post to two of my friends who arent speaking to me for a long time [one for 3 years and the other for a month and more!] . Hope they give up their anger and speak to me at the earliest!!)

Lord Krishna

To start my photoblog with God's grace, lemme put the snap of my mom's master piece!! This glass painting was done by my mom in about a month's time. So awesome that i used to stare at it always when i get back home.. Tried enriching the picture by giving more exposure, but lack of tripod resulted only in blurred images... This is the only snap with a good framing i cud take!! Eagerly expecting ur comments abt the painting rather than the snap.....
