When I am happy, I see the happiness in others. When I am depressed, I notice that people's eyes look sad. When I am weary, I see the world as boring and unattractive.
My favourite salad. Quite easy to make and takes very little time. :)
It's difficult(impossible, actually) to follow cooking as hobby in the hostel. I normally cook when I visit my parents during holidays. I make this salad almost daily when I am there.
Ok, I never wanted to try this out on myself but had to because I couldn't find anyone else who'd model for me(who'd be ready for this kind of stupidity anyway?). Got this by firing an external flash (manually) right under my chin.
My original intention was to get a Brahma-like portrait(3 faces, like this one here) using slow sync. Will try that out in the night when there's no natural light.
Boxing day evening, I am at my younger son's house, we have just eaten a traditional Boxing Day meal of cold turkey with bubble & squeak. I am thinking of Christmases past, with my parents when I was a boy, with my wife and children, and now with my grown-up children – time passes.

Paradise By Way Of Kensal Green (1)
This pub was our lunch stop. It is in Kensal Green (not surprisingly, given the full name of the pub) at 19 Kilburn Lane, and this part of Kilburn Lane seems to be just inside the London Borough of Brent. (The opposite side of the road to the pub is in the City of Westminster.)

BEHIND THE PUB NAME AND SIGNS
The pub was previously known as 'Ye Old Plough' and changed its name some time after 1944. Its apparently strange name is easy to explain, being a line from a famous poem (The Rolling English Road) by G.K. Chesterton (1874 – 1936). The poem (1913) seems mostly humorous, much as the pub name seems to be, but these things are not what they first seem. The humour celebrates the right to drink (apparently in opposition to a possible government move to ban alcohol). The final verse becomes more serious, the last lines of which reflect on making the most of the time left in older age, to enjoy life, reflect and have a drink:
And see undrugged in evening light the decent inn of death;
For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen,
Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.
'Kensal Green' in the poem refers to the famous and historic Kensal Green Cemetery, very close to this pub. Chesterton was born in Kensington, not too far from the pub. But he was buried in Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire - not, as one might think more fitting, in Kensal Green Cemetery. The re-naming of the pub is post-Chesterton. Unaware at the time of the full meaning of Chesterton's poem until afterwards, we did indeed go to Paradise (the pub), reflected on things as recommended, and then went on to Kensal Green Cemetery - though evidently not in the same order or sense as Chesterton's poem.
The two pub signs here are quite difficult to make out, but the nearer wall-mounted one, seems to be an androgynous, winged, bare-bottomed, crouching figure, with its back to us, all looking a bit Pre-Raphaelite in style. There's nothing in Chesterton's poem that obviously relates to this, unless the figure is an angel and therefore refers to the subject of death and Paradise in the last part of the poem (as above). This would also be consistent with what looks like an hour-glass with angel wings on the further pub sign on the R. It seems that however light-hearted and 'good-time' the renaming of the pub was meant to be, and in spite of the tacky pink tube-light for 'Paradise', the symbolism in the pub signs actually matches the serious side of Chesterton's poem too.

Doesn't time just fly by? One minute we are having breakfast, next it's lunch time!! Today's challenge kind of put me in the mood for and old Stones song! Thanks to the kitchen clock and a little blurred motion filter.
"Yes, star crossed in pleasure the stream flows on by
Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me"
Lyrics by Jagger and Richards
Our Daily Challenge - FAST .....
It was a jus like that click.. outside domnios near my home.. ! I was waiting out for Anand to come... n meanwhile i cudnt stay quiet that too with my canon around.
These colors n the moon tempted me to click some shots right away...!!
Ok this is one of my ARR Fave.
The evening Ganga Aarti with open flames in Varanasi is a sight to behold and legendary in its own right. This is a shot of the main aarti which is quite a spectacle performed with choreographed pyrotechnics. The flame holders are very heavy and it requires immense devotion, strength and concentration to pull this off.
Aarti is from the Vedic concept of fire rituals, or homa. The word may also refer to the traditional Hindu devotional song that is sung during the ritual. Aarti is performed and sung to develop the highest love for God. "Aa" means "towards or to", and "rati" means "right or virtue" in Sanskrit.
Varanasi (Sanskrit: वाराणसी Vārāṇasī, also commonly known as Benares or Banaras (Hindi: बनारस, Urdu: بنارس, Banāras) is a city situated on the banks of the River Ganges in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, regarded as holy by Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and probably the oldest of India. Mark Twain wrote: "Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together."

The building looks Edwardian (early 20th Century) in neo-classical style, with a hint of Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau as in this doorway and porch, and in the stained glass windows above. The earliest record of a landlord for this pub, under its earlier name of 'Ye Old Plough', is 1911 (so Edwardian), so that could well be the date when it was first opened. The pub name was changed to 'Paradise ...' some time after 1944.

(I couldn't capture the entire doorway, arched sourround and doors together. I didn't have a wide-angle option with me, and had to stand well out in the busy road, close behind a large parked van for protection from the traffic, just to get this part of the doorway.)

This is the other major sculpture at Udaygiri.
Above: Lord Vishnu is lying flat on his "Sheshnaag" (snake) bed here. The Gods are trying to wake him up using drums. Don't know what for but the story must have been quite interesting.
This is the last upload-"able" pic I have of Udaygiri. I do have a few more though.
Next in line is the Bijamandal or Bijaimandal or Vijayamandira Temple. This temple is from the 11th cent. The temple was destroyed towards the end of the 17th cent during the Mughal invasion by the last major emperor of the Mughal dynasty, Aurangzeb. A mosque called the "Alamgiri Masjid"(named after Alamgir, Aurangzeb's other name) was built on the ruins of the temple using the materials left after its demolition. The place still has Hindu sculptures and the temple-like architecture is recognizable to date.
This is a usual timepass of the elderly people in India. They either meetup at the parks with their friends of the same age group who are retired and get bored sitting alone at home when no-one.
This shot was clicked at Mussorrie, located at North-East part of India. These people are the rickshaw riders (three wheel cycle used to carry people) who were having chat. They look old but very strong to ride the rickshaws on the steep of the hilly road.

January 1908 / January 2009. Vain attempt... ?
This image is from the exhibition "À Urna pela Lista Republicana de Lisboa!" Exhibit in the Galeria de Exposições dos Paços do Concelho (CML, Lisbon) until 31-03-2009 (image taken with permission).
Yesterday, Joana and I, had to go to Lisbon town council (Paços do Concelho/Câmara Municipal de Lisboa) because after many, many e-mails and no success talks, we decided to inscribe ourselves to talk in the Municipal Assembly. The subject that we want to talk about is the following:
In 2005 (invited by the director of Hemeroteca Municipal de Lisboa) Joana, I and other colleague worked to the best of our abilities to the exhibition "A Rolha - Política e Imprensa na obra humorística de Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro” (The cork. Politics and press in Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro) an exhibition organized by Hemeroteca Municipal de Lisboa. We made the research in the newspapers directed by Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro and other tasks associated with the exhibition itself and associated materials (Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Bordalo_Pinheiro )
In the inauguration of the exhibition (March 2005) were present important personalities from portuguese politics and culture... (Carmona Rodrigues, Santana Lopes, Álvaro de Matos. See some images of the event here: www.cm-lisboa.pt/?idc=42&idi=33701 ). Everyone liked the exhibition and appreciate all the work involved. But until now we didn't receive the payment for our work. We are in January 2009 and no one gives us a consistent and decent replay... And we also still waiting the payment regarding the research we made to the Bordalo Pinheiro Dictionary in 2006.
Most ironic is the fact that Lisbon town council continue to promote exhibitions, although they have debts since 2005.
A very annoying and unpleasant situation :(
Please comment/make suggestions to help us to get paid for our work... !!! thank you :)

"Come away, O human child: To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.”
William Butler Yeats
True love will be yours even if you were to suffer all along, but get your love,
I used to believe in fairy tale love stories till I knew how it feels to be hurt deeply
Till I knew love was about care, understanding, respect and trust.
True love is beyond lust, sex and greed, it is about giving, not taking.
True love is like a mirror, where you see yourself and your beloved together,
True love is about friendship, about honesty and not hurting each other,
True love hurts a lot, because it makes you go through a lot of tests,
True love doesn't die away in a day, it lasts forever and tests you,
True love is so rare, becz the only people I see around me are only timepassing,
True love exists even after one dies, it connects you to the one you love the most,
True love is deep and God tests our patience and love , for He can see us in and out.
Stop playing games and cheating each other people, we all have to die one day,
And answer to God in the Hereafter.

The winged hour-glass signs on the door medallions, are a more stylized rendering of the hour-glass on the pub sign, and evidently represent the passing of time in connection with the origin of the pub's name. For more on this and the history and signficance of the pub name, see the previous photo (DSC_0030).
The pub, built early in the 20th Centure, was originally 'Ye Old Plough' and this was changed to 'Paradise ...' some time after 1944.

This peeling wall mural in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, not only shows the ravages of passing time but also poignantly illustrates the great shift is transportation in America over the last 50 years. It didn't just happen. The title might better read "Trails of Giants Vanquished."
From 1936 to 1963, the Chicago & Northwestern "400" train effortlessly spanned the 400 miles between Chicago and Minneapolis in 400 minutes. But with the growth of the interstate highway system and airline transportation, the route fell victim to competition from cars and planes and the defunding of mass transit and neglect of infrastructure in general. Briefly it looked as if the federal government's offer of a nearly $1-billion grant in 2010 would lead to a modern equivalent, but one of the first acts of newly-elected WI governor Scott Walker was to turn down the money. It's a sad story of neglect and missed opportunity.
That's the bad news. The good news is that the decline of rail transportation opened up railroad right-of-ways to the construction of bike trails all over the state, with the relatively flat railroad grades through the heart of the Wisconsin countryside making for easy, scenic cycling. One of these is the 400 State Trail that runs from Reedsburg to Elroy. Not as well-known as the Elroy-Sparta Trail, it offers a great ride through woods, farmland and past rocky outcroppings, with small towns spaced nicely along the way to provide rest and refreshment.
Whether the tradeoff was worth it is an open question. The trails are a real asset that promotes recreational bicycling in Wisconsin, but users mostly drive to them in their cars, with bikes on the back. What was lost was right-of-way for a transportation network providing convenient, energy-efficient transportation, one that could have been converted to modern high-speed rail that's one of the amenities of life in parts of Europe and Asia. While it costs money to build new bike paths, but it costs far more to acquire new land for railroad right-of-way. It's hard to imagine the bike trails ever being torn up to bring back trains.
This mural seems to underscore the poignance of the tradeoffs. It reflects the optimism that surrounded the opening of these trails, replacing an asset that had fallen into disuse and disrepair with a vibrant new use -- "recycle trails of giants vanished." At the same time, the peeling paint reflects the passage of time, during which we've had a better chance to appreciate what was lost.
Still, it's a beautiful trail.
