New life

This has to be the best start of the new year i have ever had!! After almost three horrifing years,finally things have started to look bright and less twisted! Argh! This is just more than wonderfull!! What can be better than starting a new life with an amazing get-away from the monotonous life?! The trip was much more fun than i expected it to be and the weather too decided to add up to my happiness!
Coorg was breath taking(and not to forget all the other places we visited)!
The birth place of river Kaveri (Talakaveri) was our first destination. Honestly,i'm not quite religious myself but the whole atmosphere and the people there got to me made me feel that the river is something we got to worship. Sounds kind of stupid,i know. You'll know what i'm talking about if you've been there. It is THE RIVER! Our lifeline. The soul of our existance! Sure worth all the worship eh?
Then came the climb up to the spot from the temple where apparently three holy men had meditated. Man! The view from the top was so totally worth all the climbing up(which,mind you, was'nt easy. There were around a thousand,steep steps to climb and it was was not tough to give up half way)! I managed to make it to the top. Yaay me! (i secretly then dropped my hopes of wanting to climb Mount Everest then). The weather was beautiful!! Cold and freezing with a hint of sunlight!
Then came the Abbi waterfall,the next day. Wish i could stay at that place for good! The hanging bridge was not all that wobbly though. Piss off!
Water rafting at Dubara Forest-went rafting for almost two hours and made new friends in the process! It always feels good to meet new people. I din't like the whole concept of the Elephant ride though. Poor elephants! Why cant they live in peace instead of being made to carry lame,insensitive people around? Get a life people!!
The deer park at Nisargadhama was ok. I expected the deer to be shy creatures. Apparently not. Again,they had the elephant rides. Idiots. Oh! And the swings were super cool! They were hung on tree branches and there were awesome tree houses atop the numerous bamboo trees!! I've never wanted to own a tree house this badly. They made me go speechless.
The Tibetian Golden Temple on our way back made me feel like i'm in Tibet itself(guess that was the idea)! They had their own colony there,complete with a school,orphanage, shopping mall,restaurants and what not! Oh and how can i forget the super friendly people!! Made me feel so at home. The way they guide you and wave at you if they see you again and their friendly smile.. Like you've known then for ages!

I can go on and on and on about it and never get tired! Oh my God! The best time i've had in YEARS!! True,the long drive and sitting in the car for hours together made me feel sick but whatever! What a lovely new year vacation!! Made me get into the whole spirit of New Year! Yaay!

MY SUPER HERO!!

Adopting a puppy is easily the most wonderfull thing that could ever happen to anyone!whatever be their color,whatever the breed,they all are bundles of joy!thats exactly what i felt when i first got Bruno,my yellow labrador retriever,home. Seems like just yesterday i'd visited the kennel to adopt my very first dog. My excitement was short lived when i saw not one,but three pups who were barely over a month old,huddled close to one another. They looked like fat balls of snow! I felt my heart melt. I longed to adopt all three of them and take them all home with me. Since it was impossible for me to choose between the three,i let my father make up my mind for me and thats how i got Bruno. I refused to go anywhere without him. He spent most of the first few months being carried around everywhere. His stupidity had no bounds then! Once,he managed to lap up a whole litre of oil and spent the following few days throwing up oil! He had even swallowed a pretty big chunk of coconut shell at 3months old,which had cut his insides and got me really worried! All of 2years old now,he is an absolute delight,my companion,my priceless possession. Loved by everybody in the family and by my friends(there are a few of them who dont like him plainly because he is huge and that scares them,they say. And i say may you rot in hell !),its just hard to not notice him! Not because he is huge.. He is simply adorable! The way he chases my cats,the way he jumps on people and greets them(he overdoes it a bit out of immense happiness!), every single thing about him is purely holy! He always seems to know when i have had a bad day and when i need him the most-he sits next to me and the minute i look into those eyes,i know its going to be ok,he is all i need. The way he wags his tail and whines when he wants to be let out,the way he takes things that he knows he's not supposed to touch,just to gain attention and to get us to chase him,the way he runs in the opposite direction when a new-born kitten is taken near him.. A whole sack of joy! There is just so much to him. My best friend,my super hero,my reason to smile.. MY BRUNO..

Twirls and swirls

Ice cream.the yummiest thing ever made.the twirls we so love seems to co-incide with our life.complete with its twists and turns.enjoy the ice cream before it melts,they say.just like life.you just have to enjoy it before it melts and drips away and in the end you have nothing left except the gooey,drippy remains of it.and no one likes to have their ice cream that way!the many flavors and millions of variety seem to horribly resemble the different types of people we meet-the common,the rare,unique...at yet they are all bound by the same name.'ice cream'.whatever be their name,whatever be the flavor they still are frozen desserts and taste amazingly sweet.strange that such an everyday thing in our life could have so much similarity with our life....
