hey babe . . . take a walk on the wild side!

sounds like a dream!
at a large scale a job may be fulfilling, i sure learn a hell of a lot, besided doing a lot for a change! but really this couldn't be the answer!

i'm designing a historic precinct and a riverside of a small town. the powertrip hardly chinks through the gaps in the sheer flood of work involved! not to mention waking up at 8 every morning! then the whole ball game of actually having to pick up your phone whenever it rings, saying goodmorning to 20 enthusiastic colleagues, i could go on . . .

3 months is too early to weigh the balance, at least i know for a fact that its not a very tilted scale anyway. boss is really cool actually and that makes it possible and worthwile!

this blog stands updated (-;

as is drags . . .

there's something about going downhill . . . the sheer fatality of the situation! security! over the bridge they call it . . . well whaterver . . .

gadi bangla aur bachhe'

not to forget the naukri!

it seems like a bit of an extreme step towards never ever getting out of this place, but if i look hard, it could be a stepping stone. none the less, i'm quite petrified of growing roots. ge plans to make 10 billion dollars here by 2010 . . . i guess thats my deadline then!

going thru all the shit i've done in the last decade or so since school is quite a wild experience . . . a bit of a drag putting it together in comprehensible/appreciable form, but the reminiscing is cool! it wasn't all faffing . . . thats kinda a relief in some vague way!

anyhow here goes i think . . . bring on the leash or saddle or whatever they strap on (-;

belated new year posting . . .

i guess its the too many blogs syndrome, i haven't posted here for months, just to make up for it, i shall be posting trip updates here as often as possible. cheers. keep the party rolling . . . : - )

the bhagirathi making its way down to tehri. 

days go by . . .

loose end . . . i'm fed up and hope u die.

sunning around almora . . . watching a free eye camp! 

kebabs

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!

earaly moring routine chex . . . at dhaba on nh24 

back . . .

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. . .
cheers

off to the hills . . .

finally . . . we are off to munsiyari, utranchal! 5 bikes and an indica should be great! lvs, nadeem, hemu, jeetu, tj, madhav and joshi! here we come so watch out thc!

a more explenatory snap . . . the reflections in the gallery are really cool to play with! 

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 . . . !

playing around with the templates! blogspot seems woefully short of options . . . was wondering how to upload my own background images and stuff . . . even the links tab seems to have disappeared! i guess its to the html for me . . . any tips or links are welcome . . . i just wish somebody would post a comment . . . getting desperate! sunday morning enthusiasm . . .
