Sau chuhe khake, billi chali haj ko
Shadows on the walls of history. Meera and I, looking at the art work on the walls around the Kutub Minar.

Total Bull …
Oh mighty bull
Big and strong
You pulled a cart all day long
Now to rest, you have laid down
People might think you lazy
But never you mind
Turn up your chin
Or your great behind …

Worst Pain, Ever
A toothache is a nightmare come true
And having to get it to a dentist's attention is worse.
Er if you are reading this Mr. Our Doc Sir, you are the exception
Phew*
But one has got to agree the entire process of drilling, gargling, lock jaw, extraction is torture, pure and simple.
It's not me who is the sufferer this time around *thank ye good Lord above*
It's the husband
Poor fellow
That's his tooth in the pic, wisdom
Poor, Poor fellow

Naturally Purrfect
Yes. You can all curl up and die of envy just about now.
We had an amazingly superb New Year eve.
It couldn't have been otherwise now could it not with the potent mix of people and place.
Do I sound like I am gloating?
If you nod an affirmative, you are so bloody right.
Picture this:
A bunch of nutty friends who have shared lab coats and grades, bumpy rides and leech bites, chilled beer and flat sodas, bad music and worse chorus all together in one place
A beautiful jungle lodge that is built on the very edge of a forest that is full of majestic Sal trees and shy Antlers, mysterious pugmarks and huge termite hills, graceful peacocks and jet-black ravens living in harmony
A bonfire that crackled and laughed, bright orange and flame blue, beautifully warm and irritatingly obstinate, burning fingers and barbequing potatoes, spreading smoke and white ash silent observer of camaraderie
A buffet of delectable cuisine that appeased hunger and inflamed imaginations, spiced tongues and sweetened thoughts, demanded attention and caused indigestion the right path to all our hearts
A crazy countdown that listed the sleaziest songs
A dumb charades contest that had us in splits
A tiger show that had us staring at a tigress and her cub
A silent guide and a fast driver
A cricket match that made kids out of adults
A presentation on the wild cats
A tribal dance that had us tapping our feet
A truckload of memories crammed into 30 odd hours …
Sigh* its gonna be a Happy New Year I can tell … :o)
