and need an umbrella...

am in hyderabad - and apparently godavari floods tomorrow due to the full moon. maybe the umbrella will help upside down to float away all the way back to pune where the flood alert has been sounded. whew!
so hyd! first impressions, not bad - theres a lake, and apparently the old city rocks!

had meant to write this ossome (!) piece on rurality of neota and stuff but been much too busy...

and now for all you fans (yeah yeah) to gather around and help out. go to
bikingtheworld.blogspot.com and click on the ads

get the guy some money
and make everyone proud

including me who is managing the blog
and as for fans, non fans will do as well...

a lit tle upside d own

seeing the world a little skewed today
but its a persp ective
and a considerably important one at t hat

nothing wrong w ith the sp aces
only blanks in my me m ory today

i h ate the "for the rest of my life" phen omen non
surely nothing c an last so long

and all the de cisions i am making today
how can i be tru sted wi th something that just may last so long

and as for my life
how can i let it be lim ited by my ow n l imited imagination

set it fr ee
l et me be

trees from the cabin in the hills 

peacocks in formation

these are really young peacocks actually... so no tails to tell 

this is how i see the world

one of those crazy things a digi lets you do - a close up window is not really the best subject for a panaroma, but! what the camera didnt get:
an old sofa lined closed to the window,
a side table with coffee and coasters,
world space playing voyager
... hmmm, this one didnt have curtains either...

and when it rains, you get sprinkled,
the coffee cools
the cookie softens
the sofa smells
and youbring in the world space antenna!

just so long

for this blog to live... forseeable: four trips, six months, and some new places - then will hangup the backpack... and take up a job and settle.. ewww - i hate the word settle - its like what dirt does in water - but theres only so much running to do and once you figured what you are running from, it kind of loses its charm - if you are travelling from rather than to... and if you finally lose your home, you need to find another one...

not a pic i have taken.. but I was there last week - caves near bhopal known for the 10,000 BC paintings there - But what I find far more fascinating were the caves themselves... like giants piling up stones for seven tiles!! Bhopal is a nice place to visit but a terrible place to live in - other than the lake and the museums, which dont absorb you for too long... 

Old pic fresh colour

This blog really needed some colour , so here it is...


this photo is an old non digi one. I realised that I was really so much better with my manual than am with the digital one but cant afford the costs now.... just sometimes it didnt feel so virtual...
