This is my favourite shot from this year's Diwali.For all my overseas readers,Diwali is an Indian festival,popularly known as the "festival of lights" and celebrated around mid-October or mid-November for various reasons.However,in modern times the return of Lord Rama after 14 years of banishment in the forest is held as the principle cause for all the ladida.Thousands of diyas(purdy lights in earthen vessels with oil) were lit and lots of hot Aryan women thronged the streets to welcome him back to civilization .On Diwali light triumphs over darkness as good over evil and everybody ushers peace and prosperity into their homes.That,friends is only the tiny curled corned of the 's' in shabang!In India,fireworks and crackers are legally available to the public(yaay?).My friends are avid cracker enthusiasts and they had bought a butt-load of them to be sent scampering into the sky over to my place.Frankly speaking,the hiss and spit and the crackling scares me(you have to pay me to go anywhere near naked fired,water or high places-dear lord,what else did I leave out?) and I just usually stay out of the way.While they were busy doing what they were doing, I scoured the skies for pretty lights with my camera in vain.Turns out you need a hot damn bit of luck to predict from which direction somebody is going to light up the sky,position yourself and take a decent shot.The Calcutta Diwali night scene isn't really similar to Sydney Harbour bridge on New Years.Tragic.Back to Earth,when I first took this shot of Andy's I was kinda impressed with myself(amateur,yo!) as she was moving a lot(like a hell lot,down girl!) but her face seemed to be in focus with a nice blurry movement about her hands and body.Also,I'm bad with low light pictures(remind me to buy a tripod) but this has turned out to be a nice candid shot of hers as she usually is-buzzing,bubbling and popping with energy.It was just today that I noticed how "lumos"y this looked and at times-happy and beautiful as she looks,(here) she could give Bellatrix a run for money with that insane laughter tugging away at her face.My second favourite is quite the unimpressive one-but as it is I'm obessed with bokeh.I'd exchange my pants for some decent ones.No,really!

I might make this my wallpaper one of these days!(you want?)

Tres,Dos,Uno

Number One:

I don’t know what kind of a shopper I am.But I know this..I’m definitely not a good one.To my credit,I only go shopping when I need things.Clothes.Makeup.Accessorries.

To my discredit..I need those OFTEN.I think the word is want,for want of a proper word.Want.Ye.

And when I roll the cart...

I’m definitely not presenting an inspiring picture,but somehow I feel,putting myself out here makes me more creditable. Muttering resolutions like rolling prayer beads certainly hasn’t helped me in any way,and like I said I’m not good with resolutions.I do better with challenges.

So here’s what I’d like to do

 over at  Travel Babbles starting next Monday.

Project Do Me[;)] involves setting goals that make you happy-daily,weekly,monthly,yearly.Kudos to Kymmy for the inspiring post and the sassy name ;)

The little things make you soar,

The little things take the floor..

 Number two:

Any ordinary day starts out with two resolutions.Actually three.1)I get to poop on time2)I shouldn’t,shouldn’t SHOULDN’T even think about caloriegenous food3)That I wouldn’t have to open my purse except while paying the bus fare.And I donot know WHY I feel the inexplicable need to pay everybody’s bus/tube/cab fare when we are travelling together. Even strangers’.Creepy?I think so too.

Adorable old man?

May I pay your bus fare?

Cute kid?

May I pay your bus fare?

Cute guy?

May I jump your bones?

Uh,Nevermind.

Point is,I’m not good with money.I get paid first day of the month,and almost by the middle of it I’m broke.It’s a good thing I live with a my parents(I can’t believe I said that,but I did!pat me) or I’d have to resort to eating frothing year old milk or mildew.

Number three:

I’m travelling the world.You can too.

So,doc,may I pay your bus fare?
