Breaking his silence

(or, on the road to it, anyway.)

I haven’t done this in a while, so my skills are a bit rusty. And by “a bit,” I really mean “a lot.” I’ve been ridiculously preoccupied these past couple of months, and haven’t been able to get myself to sit down and string a couple of (decent) sentences together. It’s strange, this used to be so easy to do, and after this hiatus, my head is beginning to pound as I begin to write. It seems like so much work, and almost seems pointless.

Almost.

For someone who hasn’t ever had anyone close-close to talk to, a space like this to scream—even if it just masks the loneliness momentarily–provides much-needed relief. Hard as it may seem to write this evening, I’m pushing myself to do so. To sort of, you know, reacquaint myself with this space; because sometimes, I get the impression it’s all I have.

My space.

No external stimuli; be it fun, pleasure, fear, heartache… . Nothing.

Just me, my thoughts.

Stay tuned.

Street art

Like I’ve been trying to say, there is much going on but I have been unable to write for quite some time. I assure you I will get back to it when I get back to it. Until then however, here are a few pictures from last month’s art fair.

Hippy clothes

Minor recognition

I know I’ve been silent lately, but there has been much going on. Trust me when I tell you that I will let you in on everything, soon.

Just trust me.

For now, guess whose picture was one amongst the twelve best (out of some few thousand) selected toward BBC’s photographer of the year contest?

Crayola informed me of this contest, and pushed me—literally—every step of the way. And it paid off!

It is nice to have someone who believes in you.

I have grown up

You know you have to buy a new belt (or tighter pants) when they’re down at your knees in public as you jog toward a bus.

You know you’ve grown up when this doesn’t embarrass you in the least, and all you do is pause, pull it back up and continue to run like nothing happened.

Hedonistic tendencies

Stuff has happened in my life that’s made me want to get a personal-trainer-person in my life tomorrow; as in tomorrow.

Don’t trust me? perhaps, a back-story is in order.

One of the many nice things about travelling is the opportunity it presents one to splurge. You know, the chance to live the good life; complete with staying in luxurious places and stuffing your face with fancy (and not-so) foods.

Here’s a small sampling from just last week’s trip to L.A. Mouse-over the images for tidbits.

Belgian waffle

Classy bottled water

Hand-made fajitas

Quizno's sandwich

Wet pasta

What’s the word I am looking for?

Hedonism. Yeah, that’s the one.
