Wow!!

Talk about going for a loooong drive spontaneously. Drive we did and guess where we landed!! BANDIPUR baby!! It was awesome! We started at 7 AM on a lazy saturday, went to Mysore irst. On the way had breakfast at Lokaruchi. Did some sutting in Mysore and then decided to go to Bandipur. Perfect weather, some melodious song playing in the background, the mood was perfect.

Anyway we got on to the Safari bus which took us into the reserve. Since we were the first ones in the queue, we got to sit next to the driver and hence the first ones to spot any animal :). It was so calm, peaceful and quiet. Saw lot of cute deer, sambar and lots of peahens an peacocks. Was hoping to see a tiger, have never seen one in the wild! Didnt get to see one this time too :(. But spotted a massive kite, with a huge wing span!! Simply breathtaking. Then the icing on the cake, saw a herd of elephants, with 2 kuttis playing with water, the kinda things you only get to see on discovery channel. Saw lot more deer after that, so many , so many!!

Headed back to bangalore. Was dog tired at the end of the day!

All in all, a great day!! :)
PS: The "WE" in this post is obviously my Hubby and me :)

soliloquoy

I am wide awake at 2.15 AM on the 5th of July, a week before my big day and all I can think of is the fear that is gripping me.



Many incidents in the last few months have reminded me that all I've ever been is selfish, more selfish and most selfish! And I look around to see all these wonderful, amazing people who care so so much about me and I am not even able to repay them even with kind and understanding words.



I am afraid of hurting someone in the process of protecting myself! I become extremely defensive and helpless. I feel like a child who has been protected all these years and suddenly there is responsibility thrust on me....i dunno if i can handle it! And its not like I havent tried sharing this feeling with someone, I have but everybody has their own problems and I dont wanna be a burden on them, not to mention that the words simply wont flow from my mouth!



I want to be strong.....I just hope GOD can give me that when it is needed the most!!

Fear

What do I do when I am afraid of so many things at the same time? Stand up and face it? Easier said than done, but I can try!

Coo

How many times have I heard a cuckoo cooing but till this dayI haven't been able to spot even one!! I know they look like crows but if one looks in the direction of the sweet voice one wud expect to see the creature behind the beautiful voice. I am very surprised by this.

Time to spot a cuckoo is what i think! :)

Huh!!??

Today's fortune:
You and your wife will be happy in your life together.

Apparently my fortune for the day according to orkut!! :-S They could have atleast written some code to make the wife husband based on my sex! Ohkay....i am asking for too much arent i?

Today was one of the BAD days for me! Bad traffic everywhere! Got totally irritated. Doesnt help if ppl wanna talk to you when i am like this or they crack some silly jokes when u r in no mood for one!!! Sense the tone ppl!!!

Mood: frustrated!

Rain

Why is rain associated with depression and something that has gone horribly wrong with a person? Watch any movie and there is always a scene where a depressed/sad person walks in the rain!

I dont think rain is depressing at all, its fun, it breathes fresh life into the earth... the smell of the first rain is heavenly. Its always awesome to go home completely drenched, dry urself, sit with a hot cup of chai and stare outside at the pouring rain, not to mention the next day u can call in sick ;) I dont know, maybe i like rain cos i am a july child :)

hmmmm.....

How do you decide when to walk away and when to stand up and face a situation?
