But then what is the point in creating all the fuss around finding purpose of life? ‘No Fuss’ is just another way of leading life. No fuss over proving anything. No fuss over pushing too hard make others happy! No fuss over attempts to achieve acceptance and trying to be understood! I am not judging if it is right way or a wrong way of leading … Continue reading Amsterdam : The ‘No Fuss’ Way
The picture here is of a badge on my backpack. What it says has two interpretations. 1. I still haven’t found what is it that I’m looking for 2. I know what I am looking for but I haven’t found it yet. I am more #1 and less #2. There is this interesting (!) Chinese curse I had read somewhere. It is in two parts. … Continue reading A Tormenting ‘WHY’
When I was a kid, I used to ask my drawing teacher why did he make us fill blue color in water and sky when drawing a landscape picture. I asked too many questions. I would question almost everything. I would question practicality of lyrics of a romantic song when I was 5. I have spent most of my life in India. Until my late youth, … Continue reading Blue
Bratislava, Slovakia, 2014. We had just started walking around in the old town area. The old town area is the main tourist district and is beautifully maintained, attractively decorated and sensibly restored. Tourists are welcome here and most of tourists never see the city beyond the boundaries of this district and thus, don’t really get to meet (or face in certain cases) the local residents. I … Continue reading Small World : A Funny Oxymoron!
It starts with a short stroll in the garden, around a lake, along the river, in to the woods or on a mountain. This is when you realize you like movement. It makes you feel still. You start liking it but you don’t know exactly what. You start going longer, climbing higher, diving deeper. You start pushing your own limits. It slowly turns into an … Continue reading The Wanderers’ Club
This is probably the most recognized site/’Landmark’/’Monument’ in Bratislava old town. There is no historic significance but the guy is named Cumil, he is there in old town Bratislava since 1997 and everybody likes him. Best part I like about him is that he looks genuinely happy (especially when you are in a town like Bratislava, it matters 🙂 ). They say he represents the communist … Continue reading Cumil, The Happy Guy
Pictures have stories they often don’t tell. The person who clicks the pic, however, never forgets what exactly was going on around him and within at that moment. 31st December, in Galway, Ireland, night is about to fall (a cold winter evening, was getting dark early). I was walking around in the town. I still had few hours before I hit one of the pubs … Continue reading A Well Spent New Year Eve (2013)
That was the second day at a small town named Cahersiveen on Ring of Kerry, Ireland. Having bicycled over 60 kms on the day before, legs were in total agony and I still ended up doing this hill walk called Beentee Loop. Now this being a long summer day, Sunset was still a couple of hours away and I had already started descending from the … Continue reading Dramatic Sunset over the Atlantic
When I was writing previous post, I smiled at the statement where I said we are from a free country. Smile was with reference to the AIB Knockout controversy in India. The comedy category of ‘ROAST’ is fairly new and unexplored here. May be it wasn’t given a shot by talented comedians we have is because the rich and famous have habit of taking it for … Continue reading # I AM AIB
Nature of this blog is supposed to be a light read more inclined towards travelling, photography and other random things from day to day world. It will occasionally include personal thoughts, ideas, perceptions, beliefs and more. Having lived in a free country (or countries for that matter), we have habit of thinking free and speaking out what, we feel, is right. At the same time, we respect … Continue reading The Usual Disclaimer Thing
