This Collection of pics is definately the best uploaded by me at one time. The photos look great but all I got to say is that “you missed the real thing”

These pics are in the order that i clicked them:

Tried a panoromic view picture, came out a little bit on the unsatisfactory side but its the best of the 4 panoromic pics I took. The reason for the color change is simple: amount of light hitting directly on the lens. The part of the photo which is bright is coz its facing or very close to the sunrays… the darkpart and the sky to the extreme right is so because the light was now not falling directly from the sun. Still I feel the pic is amazing :)

These 2 were taken back to back. The latter is the same pic but in black and white mode. The sun rays look just perfect.

The picture that made my day. This is my current wallpaper at home and I just love it. I call it “Divinity”… hence the name for the entry :)

Tried a handful of shots with birds and the sun. Trust me it is very difficult to get the timing right. The red spot on the horizon is the sun, the last pic does no justice to the majesticity of the moment. Maybe I could have been even more fair with the better cam but frankly, being there is just something else. :)

  

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

4:41 pm

I supposedly like chicks with split personality :))


The Keys to Your Heart


You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you’re told that you’re loved.

You’d like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful… that you’ll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future… one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

  

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari - Review

October 28, 2005 2:55 pm

This bestseller from Robin S Sharma is beautifully laid out. It has remained in the bestseller list for a really long time and rightly so. The book is not a “Self Help” book like it looks, The magic of the book lies in its simplicity…

Saying that, after reading this book I have realized that there is a right time to read this book. Choosing to read it before such a time will only reduce the benifits of the book. And yes I feel I picked up the book at the right time thanks to Shruti for that :).

Frankly, most parts of the book once you read it you will realize that you mostly knew what the person is talking about. To me it a large part of the book seemed like common sense(which is not so common). The explanation is clear and analogies are really good.

Its odd but whenever I felt like I was going thru something that would change my life, it eventually did. This book made me feel the same but frankly its too early to tell any difference.

This book is a must read. The book does not speak about god but is spritual. If you dont like the book just stop reading it, trust me if you need this book it will speak to you and fit like another piece of the puzzel. There is an old saying

You wont get answers untill you fully understand the question

This will make more sense after you read the book :)

  

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari - Review

I finally finished reading this book after over 2 months of fondling its pages. Its not that the book was so boring that I needed so much time, its just that I carefully spaced out the book to get the most out of it.

Feel free to check out my review here:
