A Post
Its been long since i have updated my blog, my last post was in Jul which said i will wait for the right one, and since then too much has happened and things have been whizzing at rocket speed in all aspects of life, all for the better.
Things i have done recently kept me a bit busy in unifying my website and blog and getting all my photo sites and blogs cleaned up and organised.
So will start posting more now.!
To say or not to say…
Wandering aimlessly through the airport shops I found this little book winking at me, still had some 6 hours for the check-in process to start for my flight and sure this book interested me as a companion, it was like buy at first sight syndrome that caught, even thou I hesitated a bit and was thinking 5 times before I finally bought this, its a book on how to communicate effectively/How to talk to anyone. The tips are pretty interesting, and here is a gist from a chapter that talked about communication with people close to you, your close friends or loved ones et al..
Communicating is hard especially with someone you’re close to (or want to be close to) because it means opening up, letting them know how you feel, letting them know what you really care about, letting them see you cry. It makes you vulnerable: maybe they’ll think less of you; maybe they’ll use it to hurt you or manipulate you.
But once you get close enough to a person, then its much better to spit it out rather than keep things into oneself, this kind of suppressing the thoughts or feelings increases the pressure inside you and makes you more nervous.
How on earth would you expect the other person to know what and why you are feeling the way you feel, nobody is a mind reader, its just that we can find to an extent that something is not all right, the rest is with each other to come to common grounds and settle the matter, be it anything, if you say you cant share certain things, then you are not in true love, for true love needs trust and if you have enough trust then there is nothing called a barrier between the minds involved.
Now that’s pretty …..
It was a photo process Sunday after the Saturday visit to the wetlands and it ended up a short Python learning session. As I started processing one of the Lapwing captures that I felt was somewhat a keeper after a heavy cropping and then imported it into Corel Paint shop pro, yes its not photoshop, its very expensive so settled for the PSP last year
, I had a small script to do the picture border and framing, but came across another script that prints some EXIF details too on the picture frame, and it all started here, instead of processing I started into Python coding and trying to get the Exif script integrated into my script and finally got it done ending up with a splitting headache due to 8am to 5pm staring at the monitor
and i did realize 400mm is not enough and i need more reach.
Pedal Power..
This is about cycling to work… and to other places too that are cyclable
This time last year, a wonderful sunny Saturday and my friend standing on my home front door with glowing eyes, he said lets go to Decathlon and buy a bicycle, i had that idea in one small corner of my mind, but this time with his immediate and almost certain call, i was all ready in 10 minutes on my way to buy the bicycle, and from then on its no looking back and am on my bike whenever possible and I try to avoid the tube as much.
After an year I have started to look at the benefits of it, am now more reasonably fit with less time at the Gym, cycling to work and back home gives me an hour of quality exercise every day.
The ride is as usual a bit dangerous, occasionally infuriating, a bit vigorous at times, exciting most of the times and above all its the fun factor in it, the key part is in its ability to clear the mind of any issues and gets it ready for another day in the office and the ride back home again clears off any work related issues and am back home fresh, and to top it all, its a sense of pleasure to see fellow riders around.
In all am enjoying the benefits of the Pedal power.
Finding someone…
Finding someone who shares your dreams on subjects that matter most to you……. looks harder than a NASA mission
Quiet Skies
Perfect blue skies, happens once a while in London..
, but whenever its there, its always streaked criss cross with smoke trails of the big metal birds flying high above, the night skies are full of comet like lights that move around.
It was a total different scene yesterday and today, woke up to find a clear blue sky with no lines, no sound of the big birds, but the small ones seem to be louder than usual…
Sorry folks to those who had planned their holidays and got their plans crushed.
For all wondering what’s all this about, due to the Icelandic volcanic eruption, there are no airspace activity in and around UK, one of the worlds most busiest airport (Heathrow) is free of planes.

The universe is an equation, when everything that’s existing can be devised to a mathematical equation, then why not this then?, so here is a funny one I saw today and cant resist posting it, but, when I spent a moment thinking of it, I felt how true it is.
The variable go from 0-1, so the variable “looks” is a multiplier in Guys case, hence.. 0 x anything = 0, so now you know why girls spend hours to get that variable up
Switch off lights….
