Sahale





I was searching for something and i accidentally came across this beautiful snap of mount sahale which Appu and myself climbed last september. The red line(you need to enlarge snap to see the line) shows the route we climbed. The arrow marks the point where i was hanging and was completely covered by clouds. The clouds cleared and i saw the 1000-1500 foot drop on the side and my blood froze.Thankfully i was tethered to a rope and in the capable hands of Alan

I stand.I stand alone.I can feel the water dripping on the back of my neck once every three or four seconds from a bundled matt of my uncombed hair.I have a light sweater.I did not foresee the rain.i wait.I can feel my sweater putting up a brave fight to do it's job of keeping me warm and dry.I can feel it weakening,slowly relenting to the combined forces of wind and water.I wait.I shift my attention to the surroundings.it's fall.I stoically look at the red hue turned tree.it's showing off it's brightest colours before it's demise.the forces have already reached my skin.my body sends a shiver down to do it's best to protect itself. I feel the falling raindrops strangely soothing on my face.I can feel it's impact and a tiny stinging feeling where it lands.the air is fresh but cold.I wait.I look to the sky.it's dark.too dark for this time of the day I think .I pull up my drenched sweater and look at the watch.I see the second hand ticking away.I gaze at it's movement for about 13 seconds.life is passing.I wait.

Paranormal activity

I have heard it's healthy to be scared once in a while,to realize that ur body still does respond to fear.if u have not gone through this exercise in a long time please go and watch this movie.it's a beauty in film making.I felt a strange terror creeping over me while watching the movie.I could feel myself sqirming in my seat everytime it turned night in the movie.there is nothing horrific or gory in the movie,but the simplicity with which it's made and the way the story has been told makes u feel uneasy.it's very easy to forget that it's just a movie and not a real life drama while watching the movie.I could feel the entire theatre go through these emotions,gasping,screaming,holding their breath,waiting in anticipation.the emotion is all gone once u come out of the movie hall but hey that's why u go to movies, to teleport u to a different world where u feel and see things not possible in this dreary mundane day to day life of ours. If u like the emotion of fear watch the movie.:)

Lady snow is here!

Yoohoo it snowed yesterday for the first time in the season and I was all waiting to feel the first flurry flakes on my skin.winter -here it comes.

Nobel prize for peace??

Well, I will be damned!! Seriously no offense to Obama,i think he is a cool president but a nobel prize for peace 10 months into his presidency? I am at a loss for words,one of the most prestigious awards of mankind awarded with the projection of wishful thinking? Has it become a bloody political gimmick?Were the jury member's smoking Pot when they decided the winner?

I am sorry Mr.President,it's just not enough in my opinion!! My sympathies are with Mr.Gandhi!
