Nostalgia continues...

Gift wrap...

One of the few things that I've hardly ever complained about or admitted is wrapping gifts. It may or may not be noticed by the person who opens it. I remember one instance quite fondly though, coz probably that was the only time when the gift was opened before me. And there was a huge smile, even before the gift came out. What the gift was, is worth a few lines maybe sometime later.

Today was one such day, but a little different in the sense that I was getting it done and watching. Strange how it has moved out of my hands into someone else's and has become his/her job rather than mine. It felt as if I was no longer gifting it. But I'm glad atleast I would be able to write something with my hands and then maybe it will still be me gifting somebody :)

Bike Friday!

6:45 Nice weather, parts of blue sky visible, will still take the bus

6:52 Half chai at Priya Bakery

6:55 Forgot drawer keys-Walk back home

7:00 Bike outside the door is too tempting. Skip the bus

7:30 Across the road at the idyllic Karmelaram station, Chai 2 (camera-wish)

7:40 Railway crossing gate closes just as I finish chai :(

7:45 Little school boy asks for a lift to Carmel Convent School

7:45 Two trains moving in opposite directions stop at the station

7:50 Dropped happy little boy outside the school gate

7:52 Sunrays beaming through the semi-forest-awesome road (camera-wish)

7:55 Sunlit Varthur lake road (camera-wish)

8:05 Office parking lot (Ride-back-wish)

Door

What treasure lies beyond that door,
No hidden key beneath the floor,
A latch within, a clock tick tock,
I just go knock knock knock

Now then...how about some pink :)

Lives

Old friends, new wives
Hardly any more high fives
Oh the lives
Oh the lives

Actually....

When you can, you don't want to,
When you want to, you can't...

Well

Silent,
Aligned,
Still,
Complete,
Connected,
Reopened,
At peace,

May-be...

Absurd word of the day

For a drawing file: Semifinal-01

Lyrics...

February 5th, Friday morning, purple dawn,
Broke a yawn, as I stepped through the fog, like I stepped to a song
A moment like a poem, you wish you could hold it
I shut my eyes like its frozen, its gone when I open
It slipped past the clouds right there where it lingered
Like your band and a girl could slip through your fingers
My feet hit the ground like a beat for the lonely
On a path beaten down by the crowds in the morning

If only I could touch past the phony
If only they were there now to hold me
As the questions keep droning

You're the only one who stuck it out last night
The only other one who caught the other line
You're the only one when this world collides
The one that I cant deny

Its undeniable how brilliant you are
In an unreliable world, you shine like a star
Its unforgettable, now that we've come this far
Its unmistakable, that you're undeniable

Undeniable
-Mat Kearney

4 years and a few miles away

Credits roll and people stand,
Rising up, I lower my hand.
Back it goes to flip the chair,
The seat is cushioned, where's 'that' chair.

Complete hotness :)

Killer feedback

This was for a party invite for a client.
The title: Let's get together
Image: "Silhouettes" of young people dancing in the background with superimposed text.
Feedback: Sunil, can we make the Silhouettes (Dancing figures) more conservative. Rest is OK.
