Past, Present



That's glass painting,recent one being made by me..Planning to gift it to one of my friends That way I can make more ;-)
On side is this pntng of mine which I got recently framed. Placed it in my bedroom ,the only place bereft of my pntngs till now..Now this is one of my non favortite one's. As the dancing ladie's face has not come out with soft features.
Irony is that the location of pntng is such that as I lie on that she looks straight into my eyes.. And the effect is her looking angrily at me doing tandav nritya..Gives me a creepy feeling ..U know the kindaa when all your faults are looking at your face :-( Will very soon shift it to another location. :-)

Went roaming around forum mall yesterday.. Bought a collection of books ..Had not gone with the intention of buying but then got lured into it by hubby..And next I see is I have bought three of Gerald Durrell's.On second thought was nice of hubby to do so.Been long since I had read any.Most of his books are about his journey to various island in search of endangered species and his experiences in trying to catch them..Make it a very interesting read..And the best of all is the new way I have find to supplement his readings..Now an amateur naturalist like me has mostly got no idea of the kind of flora and fauna he refers to..So here I am in front of the net looking for these names..This happens when I am in one of those moods where I want to imagine what I read..Other wise it just reading and imagining urself in those make belief world..

Many times I wonder what I was in my earliy life..(If there is any such phenomenon).BTW do u guys wonder a swell. For me, I round it all to three choices:
1.Queen:Considering my love for castles,bldngs architecture, king's queen's lives, gossip's of that era ,I must be somewhere in there..BTW this phenomenon became quite evident after my visit to london..So was I queen of england lol Rolling on the floor laughing ..yes I know little incredilous but then what the heck ;-)

2.Nomad: My love for nature..the excitement of seeing new cultures, their ways and everything I can get to know..And the ease with which I gell with them..(Well that's hnow I wld like to think)

3.Hungry Man: (I know u surely enjoying this)..Well considering I am soo hungry most of the time, and bite I take is soo god sent for me.Yeah even during my regular meals I relish every bite.(Hubby loves to watch me eat.).Makes me think I must never had enough food in my past life

Yeah I know quite unrelated realities but I find the thought very interesting..
So here I have given you all some food for thought..What do u guys think u were in your past life..Do u wanna share ;-)

Enjoy the week

Sangita sorry took some time to visit you, things are pretty chaotic at my place as we are shifting temporarily, my house getting completly demolished and rebuilt. Its a small house in a small lane in a lower middle class neighbourhood. Wondering at the things that have piled up over 48 years, I was studying 7th when I occupied my room. 48 years now.

098843 36273 is my friend Rama's number (Pronounced R'maa) Actually this is a Madras number but she is in Bangalore right now, terrific artist specialises in glass paintings she can guide you if you like.

Can't see a bigger image of your painting and I am not able to comment (eye infection Madras eye to make matters worse)

Being in Bangalore you can do a lot
if you have time. Lots of places around beyond Mysore.

I am always afraid of some one suddenly approaching me and calling me father or grandfather in their previous lives. My visualisation of my previous life is very unromantic and non glamourous. I always think of kicking all the kings and revolting against them. I dream of kicking Shah Jahan for chopping the thumbs of all the craftsmen who built the Taj. I am very KHOON KHAAR. I dream of dragging the kings out of their palaces and make thm plough the lands. I want to kick all the gurus swamis who created the cast system. The list is endless. When I go to forts and old abandoned palaces I visualise myself being dragged as a prisoner.

I haven't started posting on beta yet. let me finish the environment series.
