TrUtH...!

 

What’s truth? It’s stranger than fiction, it’s bitter, it’s dangerous etc… these are non-dictionary definitions. But there’s more…

Truth always turns its faces and colors and is never constant! It’s also momentary and not immortal, though believed to be for centuries… What’s written about our past in the history school books might not be accurate, could be manipulated and would be the so-called eternal, beautiful truth – which it is not! Even if they were facts, perceptions might differ and hence the truth. What we believe is what we call the truth. Terrorism fights for a certain cause which its followers strongly believe like those petty thieves who also believe what they follow is the truth! Both are wrong in my and your opinion but one who kills those men might not find any difference in killing a tiger or a chicken or man! He’s a true believer like you and me. Truth…again!?

What if one day one by one all truth becomes counterfeit? 9 planets become 10, flat earth becomes round, walking man flies/swims, 6^th sense is born, split personality creates multiple people in a man, the most truthful bank cheats you on your money!

Many more… the family you truly lived with for years is separated, a close friend departs not to re-appear ever, what you truly dreamt of getting is now a nightmare in hand.

Well, it’s not uncommon. It’s always seen and experienced, then how does the term ‘truth’ play its role? What is to be believed? If what’s believed is the truth, then why is it not the truth for someone else? If truth is not really true, why do we run behind finding it?

If I get 100 marks in all subjects then I’m the topper, but if another guy gets it who’s the topper amongst us? Even if both of us are toppers and the best and the smartest, where will these true characteristics lead us to? Truth can go on to get you crazy as you run behind it… For now, I’ll suspend my truly terrible sense of judging the truth. I gotta go back to face the reality tomorrow… is it true?

As quiet as night...!

As quiet as night was my heart…
And like moon to the skies, you walked into my heart!
It’s dark again...
You’re here again...

Wanting to reach you, I reach the window,
Wanting to touch you, I touch your shadow
…
…

...

...

And like moon  to the skies, you walked into my heart!
As quiet as night is no more my heart…!

Friday Sneezes...!

Another Friday came running so fast but with a flu... again!? Yuck, I'm sick and tired of this f***in bad health... #@!!#$#@

Nevertheless I kept the spirit going with a migration for another customer till late night yesterday and early morning today. The week looked quite big with sometimes 3 clients to cater to in just 1 day!! From Changi airport (cargo) to Tampines to Payar Lebar and Harbor Front... I was everywhere this week. And incidentally my visit to Harbor Front on thursdays continued... I was there even today also and had nearly 3hrs to kill after my job was running. So went upto Vivo City, the adjacent building.

The festival season in Singapore continued with Chinese New year just a week ahead. There was a very nice performance at Vivo shopping mall and I couldn't stop shooting these...

The Harbor Front entrance...	Representing arrival of Chinese New Year
Outside Harbor Front	I love a leaf in all pics... :)
This is the same ship I've seen in the nights... the 1st day shot!	At the top of Vivo City shopping mall
I stood so far to begin with	I crawled in to get these close-ups. Here's a singer singing Mandarin
These dancers were brilliant... you see a guy playing their traditional instrument, which my local friend says is a 1000s yr old music	Well captured this...
Their sync is perfect	again...
	Zoom the beauties...
The final photo shots
A violin player who made me forget my flu...	This was a superb jugalbandi...

Wow, superb photos... thanks to my 1yr old k800i! Zoom these photos to appreciate the clarity.

Then I had to get back to work and since the job worked out well, everyone seemed happy. I left early sneezing my way home.

So the weekend begins... sob sob! akshi, shi shi... :-|

WoW Weekend - II ...!

So Tej and Mahinder bhai had come home for lunch when I cooked with so much effort to end up with a not so impressive fried rice and aloo curry! :-( Cooking is ofcourse an art and art is not always perfect! I know... So we were off to our mission of photography... I had suggested Bukit Timah Nature Reservoir for the mission, which turned out to be quite eventful and satisfying... here are a few captured by Tej and myself! Kudos...

This one's by me...	This by Tej...
On our way to Gun Club...	Wowwww...!
Nicely caught a speeding car	This one's a well taken shot (by me) :-)

A pleasant Sunday ended with a Canadian Pizza and 'Dusvidhaniya' movie.

Wish all weekends were so good ... :=))
