Everybody needs a hug sometime...

Juan Mann - Hugs

The warmth of a hug
Can light up the darkest day
So share one for free...

A matter of perspective

Walking along the banks of the Seine one evening, I came across this sketch by a street artist. Not quite Escher and perhaps trifle naughty but interesting enough to share.

Wonder what Freud would have had to say about this portrait? :D

Paris, Pujas & Poe

The world lay asleep
But somewhere in the darkness
A tower shimmered...

So much to write about yet the thoughts refuse to flow. Had a lovely vacation in Paris, followed by another at Darjeeling. Then came the Puja festivities in Kolkata which have not quite died down yet.

No, the picture above is not a puja pandal in Kolkata. It is the real thing (though I won't be surprised to see it being replicated as a puja pandal sometime in the near future!). Here are some photos I took during the pujas...enjoy!

Re-reading Edgar Allen Poe's short stories. Here is one of my all-time favorites.

Will be back soon!
