HNY 2012

The cycle of man proposing and God disposing continues - and someday, when we can be in sync with his way, we'll have answers to all our 'why' questions... But will that knowledge bring peace in our hearts? Only time can tell.

In the meanwhile, while we ponder on such timeless questions, let me wish you, dear reader, a better new year! May God inspire in us the right path, and the right knowledge.

Take a look, and let me know what you think.

But, don't lose hope yet. I've actually been paying a lot of attention to another love of mine in the last year: Photography. I bought an SLR (a Nikon D40), got a couple good lenses, and have taken thousands of pictures - a few of which are actually good (am I being modest or what?). See my next post, and judge for yourself - tell me what you think!

Well folks, it's almost time for a new calendar, for those who still use printed calendars! I've been away from my blog for way too long... and the separation is getting unbearable. I will come back and write more often - plenty of new experiences to write about... just need to make some time for it :)

Have a great new year 2008!

I signed up for this, and joined a large group of volunteers from various organizations and institutions across town. It was, as expected, a wonderful event: very heartening to see all the kids at their expressive best. Here's a news report on the activities.

And here are some pictures from the event: http://picasaweb.google.com/beligere/Chrysallis2007

If you love me, why do you hurt me? I always pay attention to your needs, so you are comfortable all the time. All I need is your tender loving care - that secure feeling you bring to me.

I know your eyes have a tendency to rove, but my heart is secure in its knowledge that you still love me. When you once wrote about your attraction for a seductive backside you'd seen in Paris, or when you stared at a passerby a tad too long when we were on a journey together, I was still fine with you doing it. Why? Because of my unshakable love for you.

Do you remember our initial conversations before we decided to live our lives together? I made it very clear to you my strengths, and limitations. Now, have those memories faded? You keep pushing me onto greater challenges - how much longer can I cope? Please, be a little more tempered.

Remember how you drove me when we first met. You cared for every hump, and very dimple on the roads - helping me sail smoothly over them. But lately it feels like you've stopped caring. When that scooter skidded and scratched my front bumper, it was your fault - you should have been driving slower. When you dented my rear door, it was again your careless driving that was the cause. And look at what you did yesterday. You unsuccessfully tried, in a juvenile fashion, to climb onto the drain covers on Hosur Road to change over to the service lane - and my underbody got scraped. Please respect my limits - you know I am a city car, not an SUV with high ground clearance.

I've heard that you've recently seen the Fast and the Furious trilogy of movies - with sinful sexy cars doing illegal things. I know you've described the scene with cars drifting sideways down a mountain road at night as "sheer poetry". Poetry, schmoetry. Can those cars take you to work everyday on Hosur Road? Could they love you and care as much as I do? And importantly, will they be faithful and stay at home with you through the night? Huh? You don't know how lucky you are to have me.

Look, my darling, our relationship is not one-sided. I cannot just slave for you, so you can lead a comfortable life. What do I ask from you? Have I asked for alloy wheels? Have I ever wished for a subwoofer? All I need in life is your care and understanding. Our love for each other can only get stronger.

Love,
Your Putti (Btw, it feels so good when call me Putti).
