eternally ghalib kebab corner oposite lal mahal nizamuddin
but today khushboo opposite bari masjid hauz rani really impressed . . .10 bucks plate of 5 seekhs or tikkas . . . not quite the ghalibs attitude, but more wholesome, if you can apply such a wuss adjective to the bigger flesh!

and what a blast it was! 5 bikes has got to bethe ultimate power trip. fused with the meditativeness of biking in the hills . . . phew . . . thats stressing language a bit too much. my first trip into kumaon (beyond nainitalm ranikhet et al) truly magnificent. the pahari capital almora took my breath away. what a city. not to mention the obscenely cheap hash. i shall post snaps as soon as lvs has conceeded to pass them on. the 35mm's will take some time as i don't have the money to wash them! but will keep posting.

meanwhile, the german video art is coming up at apj media gallery. a retrospective of mammoth proportions featuring namjung pike . . . collossol show to say the least . . . lookin forward to it. . .

i stop dreaming of biking . . . the mexican architecture exhibition is 3 days away . . . this id a piece from crosstown traffic, from fact liverpool . . . dryden goodwyn.wait . . . putting it up was quite psycho, but well worth the effort. a 5 screen magnamopus . . . centered around slomo's of people waiting for various things, to get married, for a goal, at the airport . . . to take a snap . . . the soundtrack is also spectacular . . . climaxes and low bass . . . on the whole a subliminal piece . . . i m ust have watched it over a dozen times!  

. . . and i thoght i was important . . . 

on the way to kargil, epitomizing the region, the gompa perched on the megalith! the skys in the himalayas are almost as breathtaking as the folded plates themselves! 

looking up at the leh palace . . . more accurately what zoravar singh left of it ! when i printed this snap, i couldn't for the life of me make out what it was! so therefore its one of my favourites! red light does have a way of romanticising things . . . !
