Hobbies

Lately I have picked up some old hobbies. “What’s an old hobby?” I hear you ask. Well they were my hobbies once upon a time then I left it as I was too lazy to do them. The break was good as it gave me some time to think (not about the hobby) and then when I came back to it I had new ideas to work with. So here are the hobbies in some new light.

The Tree

“Pix come inside! Play time is over”
The fellow scrambles down the tree, jumping from branch to branch and then from a high branch he swings and jumps to the ground, rolling as he lands.
He gets up with a smile. Rubbing his eyes he looks out the window thinking! “Boy I miss that tree.”
--------------------
This is a new concept I am trying. Writing a 55 word fiction! It was introduced to me by my brother. Read Expressionless …
I personally think this is a very creative way to write fiction and very tricky.
This of course is a crude try so let me know how you liked it?
Do comment and let me know. ^_^

Jog falls is a cool destination about 380 to 400 Km from Bangalore on NH-206.  This picture is of a house near the fall named Raja. Best time to go will be just after monsoon.

Route from Bangalore:
Bangalore->NH4 to Tumkur->turn left on NH 206->Shimoga->Sagar->Talaguppa->look for a board asking to take left towards jog falls (about 16-18Km from Talaguppa)->Jog falls.

Lepakshi





“Tomorrow is a holiday! What are we going to do?” asked my wife
“Lets drive somewhere.”
“Ya right…  but I won’t go to Nandi Hills”
“Well what about Lepakshi!”
“Who is she” she asked with a grin, and then after a while she said “Ok! Lets go”
Next day we started early at around 7 am after picking up a friend of mine PS. Within 1/2 an hr we had crossed the Hebbal and where cruising on NH7 towards the Airport. As usual the cabs and trucks were all speeding in the same direction and I was amazed at the volume of traffic I was facing in the morning.

Photograph – M(y)istical nature





Bhramagiri in Coorg is a place for nature enthusiast. A place for trekking, white water rafting, lots of green to soothe your mind and soul. Avoid going to this place in rainy season as it is leech infested. You can Google it for more info… J

This picture was taken from Nandi Hills on the day we went to Lepakshi. (more to come on that) The Moon, Clouds and the Airplane seems to be in harmony with each other.

Creating Nostalgia

I don’t know how many of us realize this but every day we create nostalgia. Most of the days the brain sweeps the nostalgia under the carpet, or worst into the recycle bin never to be retrieved back again. But some days are so special that the days' happening are safely tucked away into a cupboard or in an attic, just to be retrieved many years later as a nostalgic memory. It also has an uncanny habit of improving with time just like wine. We would go to this imaginary attic or open the cupboard and go through the stuff in it. Looking at this stuff, cleaning the gathered dust on it, going through it… that’s when nostalgia hits us.

New Year - 2010

New Year new resolutions new hope new outlook… and the list goes on. Its time for celebrations and joy, time to start over new.


From the last years long break from blogging I am planning to get back to it. I just hope that it won’t be like my new years resolution. Actually till now I have not been able to keep a single resolution till the end. Some I broke after few months and some immediately. Like “I won’t drink” and the 1st thing on 1st Jan I did was drink. Then there was a time I promised myself that I would improve my life style and started the year with hangover. This year though it was that “I won’t make any resolution this year” and thus i broke the resolution in process of making one.
