The Mask...

Is there a mask before all our faces...!

I hold the mask given to me, a feet away. It does not let us, to be us. I just try to be myself, always.

But it's true and my experience proves that people hardly like such characters. What's the point in faking! People always tend to forget that beneath the mask lies the treasure. Of course all treasures are found in containers with rust formed over the centuries. Well, only when people talk to me they like me, I explore myself more and that is one reason I like communicating. There have been many people who missed a chance of being part of my world, simply because they din't talk to me more. Fortunately, the more I explore myself - seems that a better side can be unearthed.

I know that I would end up having only a few around my coffin on the D-day. But I would be in my eternal sleep knowing that I have been true to my heart & those around me would know it as well.

Though the title is from the movie, this picture has nothing to do with it. It is a random self-shot that I tried out in my Canada apartment. Was tough setting it up as there wasn't any room for placing my camera. As always, its fun doing it.

NOTE: Never ever look into bright light resources, not good for eyes. I was using a low power light and din't look into it.

Boundaryless...!

Why would anyone want to neglect me! it's been few years n it simply leaves me wondering, is it that hard to communicate, but then...it all comes without a surprise to an extrovert, who believes that his once very small world, that was too narrow to think of globalization is boundaryless now...!

But now am in the most happening & one of da the most beautiful places in the world. Even then, any act of care is sufficient for one to come into my world. Of course I cannot force a smile on a face…unless mine looks funny to them!

Am not philosophical, or trying to be. These things in my blog are that I have seen so far in my journey & hope the good and da best is yet to come 4 me. Bring more smiley’s around before my departure… mean da eternal one

Try caring 4 others, you will feel da difference…

n by da way my dentist n his receptionist cared for me so much that they gave me a bill for $1000...n left my molars aching...

Inside out!

A close friend of mine was surprised & asked me whether am seeing someone, after reading the recent posts! Because he knew that I am not gonna fall in that. ha ha...I laughed, told him I have grown too old for it & we both know it.

But I hate people who annoy me, especially those who judge me without talking to me. Likes are important to keep one in spirits; doesnt have to be the so called 'L***'. Maybe one has to talk to me to know more about me...till then a-dieus!

I strongly believe time is a medicine that can take-off the intensity of anything that is at the corner of our memories, be it hatred, friendship, ego, etc., As humans, I think we are supposed to carry it with us for a while. But everything fades away. The best thing I give to people who care 4 me is to have them in my memories. The other side of it would be to flush them outta my memories...

For the picture, I was planning to have a session with someone. But then din't wanna trouble my friends & since no one was at the apartment, I decided to take it myself. So I had 12 seconds to set the self - timer n myself up with whatever expression I had. Took a few samples which would definitely help me sometime when friends want their pictures to be taken. Another dim source wasnt ava, else cud have taken off da shadow under my eyes...2AM in the night is not bad after all to try few shots!

...n ya, da profile pic was taken among da few sample shots!

Silence of the Lamp...

Silence is sometimes seen louder among chaos...
Like a light in darkness...

...While the highest frequency has the probability to be heard more, hopes are not engulfed by the slightest possibility of silence too, making an impact!

Bubye Summer...

If winter brought in freshness then the summer made me smile…

I may not be here till the spring. But the way I was treated with the colors of the withering leaves in the Canadian Summer, will be bright in my memories.

Awake in my dreams!

If the nights are going to be like this, am ready to be awake all night!

Signals of life...

There are some decisions that have to be taken at various stages of our life, fairly critical one's. There may or may not be sufficient time to analyze.

For me, instincts take over the control and there are a few signals that let me decide my action points...and when it does, it glows bright. Those decisions could just change the entire scenario, opening up a gate that could lead us to a world of opportunities or a dead end!

I have personally known people who have taken such decisions...they may be shaking hands with lady luck or still struggling to surface up, but one thing is for sure, there are a plenty of lessons to be taken to the grave.

Circling around@

Sometimes we end up at the same place where we started...I have been there a few times...I take it as a blessing in disguise...who knows, there are a lot many ways of doing things better...striving hard for perfection again and again is something that I don't like...

But I do love the way we put in our efforts to try to make things perfect, the first time!

My dream room colors...

Favorite's

Though I'm no fan of a particular actor, my list of favorite actors/ films of those which I prefer include ( lets go from south to north ) Surya, Abhishek Bachhan, Ajay Devgan, Hirthik, Shahrukh & Amitabh Bachhan. One person whom I admire much is RGV. Sarkaar is something that I have seen so many times and I always feel like watching it again when I see a clipping from it. What a movie? And the performances too good, that are possible only from a matured cast and a director who has all the frames, has it sculptured in his mind while preparing the script. Manirathnam is another person who has made every Tamilian proud with his creations. Some of his stunning films have the areas of human relations highlighted to a great extent & portrayed very naturally. And this makes one too often feel like that at least one of his characters has characteristics that resemble his/ her's.
