He stood there,
Alone and in the middle of nowhere,
Where the orange sky flirted with the fading sea,
and the dusky mountains basked in the twilght glory,
Where the world boasted its beauty and the radiant sun
paved its way for the mistic moon,
Alone along the changing world, he stood
In the middle of nowhere..

It has been a wonderful day at Seattle. Roamed around the streets till 10 in the evening. Reached here yesterday same time. The journey turned out to be adventurous since i missed the flight from Chicago to Seattle. I really got tensed since it happened in a different City an Country quite new to me.the flight from frankfrut was 1 hour late and in Chicago i had immigration clearance. So by that time it was almost the time for flight. It was just like a scene in movies.I ran into the queue for security check.Got a couple from Belgium ( Daan and Elin) as friends who were also traveling in the same flight. Pleaded the people in the queue about our situation. They allowed us to move ahead.
Once the security check is over i was running with passport between my teeth, jacket around waist and belt around my shoulders. And when we were just about to reach the boarding gate, the flight took off. :-( Thought that i would have to stay back at Chicago for a day since no flights were there but only standby. Thank God, the standby ticket worked finally !

Left Bangalore and Reached Hyderabad on 26th Dec 2009. New Place and new dreams. Along with a friend just roamed around some places. Made use of the cab facility provided by the company. Then after a week suddenly got a flu and was terribly down since many days. Didnt go to office for few days as my condition was very bad. Quite new place and its extremely difficult to find hot food from somewhere nearby where i put up. No middle class hotels where i can have normal breakfast. Really struggled for last few days. But now slowly recuperating.. Hope i will be healthy by today and will be able to go to office..

The Stolen Boat.. :), originally uploaded by D'Ham.

"One summer evening (led by her) I found
A little boat tied to a willow tree
Within a rocky cave, its usual home.
Straight I unloosed her chain, and stepping in
Pushed from the shore. It was an act of stealth
And troubled pleasure, nor without the voice
Of mountain-echoes did my boat move on ;
Leaving behind her still, on either side,
Small circles glitteringly idly in the moon,
Until they melted all into one track
Of sparkling light."
- extract from the Prelude of William Wordsworth

In return to all the love I have given you...

For a moment I wish,
to be in the shade of those trees,
and share the beats of my heart with you.
When your eyes go wet
by the dreams so moist,
I just longed to be the throb,
in that streamy river.

You trickled into my heart
like the “Nila” ; like the Blue sky.
Your words were
rain to my barren world.
And you made my heart,
a stage of fantasies.
Thousand dreams blossom
When i love your shadows...................

This is a humble attempt to translate a poem, i wrote in malayalam some time back
"Nila" is a river that flows through the heart of Kerala. It has been a inspiration in many of the poems

A minimalistic shot.
It was a nice morning and the fresh sun rays were rushing in through the Window. The simple net and the shadows on the window was looking just wonderful!!

Life is Beautiful

Life is Beautiful, originally uploaded by D'Ham.

When I stand along the lovely horizon,
I don't think much,
But only about the calmness that dusk gives;
and the hope that dawn gives.
Its a blend, like the blend of colors they form
along the lovely sky,
Making me feel " Life is Beautiful"

Serene.

A Thing of Beauty is Joy for Ever
- John Keats

Last week I had been to mysore. I am so much attracted by the serenity and the calmness of that place. A place like this is my dream and to live there is great luck. I wish i could go to such calm beautiful place. There there is life, Life in true sense. What else is more beautiful than a life in close association with the nature.

Dear Arun and Dearest Dileep,

You are simply spoiling our great heritage. These buildings are something to be treasured and to be proud of. Please Dont Destroy it!!

Regards,
A WellWisher

This snap i took from a Fort more than 200 years old. The people are taking this for granted and authorities too are so careless. They just scribe anything on these walls and spoils the beauty of it. Its very sad to see such great monuments getting destroyed.

Something over there..

Something over there.., originally uploaded by D'Ham.

Yes I promise,
there is something over there,
beyond the clouds that burn visibility,
beyond the limits your eye can reach,
i promise there is something over there..
Some called it dreams and
Some called it hope.
I don't know much,
But only the truth that , it's the essence of my life!!
Yes I promise!!

Fallen Flower

Fallen Flower, originally uploaded by D'Ham.

Just like anything in the Universe,
I will also fall down and degrade,
Will become a part of the soil,
Will stop remembered and thought of.
Will be away from the heart of the beloved.
I am also just like you my dear flower...
Lovely in the breeze, shaky in the wind and alone in the world!!

Go green

Itz high time to go green, or else danger is not far!!

Each one of us should take a decision in which they could contribute for a better green environment!! I have decided to shut down my desktop everyday before leaving the office instead of locking it.

With the Early Sun

With the Early Sun, originally uploaded by D'Ham.

With the Early sun he wakes up,
Not to greet the sun at dawn,
Nor to enjoy the warmness of the twilight zone,
But to fight against all the odds,
And to row against all the waves.
Just to spread happiness on the faces around....

Silent Night!!

Night was so silent,
Only the whistling of the cool breeze ,
That blew from west,
Made the night little talkative..

Holding On ...

Holding On ..., originally uploaded by D'Ham.

Yes Its tough I know!!
The Road up the Hill,
And Its dark..
But Still I have to Hold on..
I don't dig the bones from the past, and
I don't worry about the future.
I know the present and I know that;
I have to hold on!!
Till the last moment of my heartbeat,
Till the last drop of my blood drain away from my veins,
I will hold on, whether its dark or its hard;
Remember
"A man can never be defeated
He can Only be destroyed"

Kaantein.. Thorns!!

Kaantein.. Thorns!!, originally uploaded by D'Ham.

Did I see only the thorns?
Or did i see the leaves too?
One is Tender and other is Sharp!!
One is Life and other is Pain!!
How i Wonder how both comes so close.
Life without pain is like leaf without thorn,
Never safe in the struggle of life.
Because Pain teaches you many things!!!
And makes you face the tough side of life...

Summer Mango!!

Mango Season, originally uploaded by D'Ham.

Summer Time in India is the Season of mangoes! Summer is hot, but just a glance at the bunch of fresh mangoes makes my mind feel cool!!

This scene makes me travel back to years. During summer vacation, we a gang of kids used to go for Bible classes at church and on our way to and back from church we always used to aim at mango trees besides the road and just run away with those that fall down! Those were days of pure fun and i know that i those days will never be back!!! But i just wish.....................

A beautiful Fountain at My Work place!!

I would say this is one thing that i enjoy a lot in all the evenings at my workplace!! I love to hear the sound of splash!!

Its always refreshing to spend sometime in the evening near this exquisite place. The sound of splash is so pleasing for the ears and the lovely droplets are cooling for the eyes!

Alone in the crowd,
He just moved on..
There were no dreams but only hopes..
A hope to survive and
A hope to exist;
Just like any other common man.
He just moved alone in the crowd.

When in the dark , we need something to move on. Something that gives us hope and shows us the way ahead.

There are many things that light can do. Some times power cut also helps!!! Took today when power went off.

Salute, originally uploaded by D'Ham.

I had a visit to this primary school during last summer. We organized some session for the kids like cartoon drawing,paper art,science trips etc.

All the kids were in fantastic mood and this is what Kids did when their headmistress came to the class.

Nowadays I really miss such visits. New project even demand us to work during weekends.:(

Green and Rain

Green and Rain, originally uploaded by D'Ham.

Nothing is as fresh as rain,
And nothing is a beautiful as green.
Both are nature's gift to the mankind, so beautiful!!

Just like the droplets drenching down the nerves of the leaves, my mind is weeping for space. The space where there is love and freedom, happiness and responsibilities and above all peace of mind. But just like those drops the future is uncertain!!

Long way to go!!
