our daily challenge - scattered
Today was the day I had my first migraine. It was truly awful. My vision literally became scattered and dark for a while before the headache came on! What a terrible thing. Migraine sufferers everywhere: I now really understand. This stinks! (I tried a white flag, but my headache did not surrender.)

Week 14 of Project 52 - Surrender
A shot from my trip to Bangkok, Thailand in December 2010. Taken at the BTS station, a stray that seemed pretty listless and lethargic. It was 10am, the start of a new day, but this poor buddy had risen the white flag.

“I do not take any pain killers. I surrender myself to the Goddess, and she takes care of me. I have been performing Kaavadi ever since I was 6 year old. I have decided to continue with this ritual” shares Sadaiyan Muththuveeran (54) while hanging on hooks in Bambalapitty.
24th Annual Chariot festival of Sri Mayurapathy Paththirakaali temple is held today (6th of August 2011) in Colombo amidst heavy downpour. Five wooden carved chariots parade through the streets of Bambalapitty (Colombo 04), Havelock Town (Colombo 05) and Wellawatte (Colombo 06).
Devotees dressed elegantly and took part in religious rituals such as carrying clay pots of camphor, rolling themselves on the ground, smashing coconuts and hanging on hooks (Kaavadi ~ Men only). Few devotees who fulfill their vows, got into trance and danced on the streets. Devotional songs played throughout the dazzling parade. Traditional and non ~ traditional musical instruments added colour to the festival.

I went to San Diego for my spring break and visited the Unconditional
Surrender Statue right next to the USS Midway museum. The super popular
image of a sailor in Times Square on Victory over Japa Day grabbing the
nearest girl.
