Small town meets big city

Dearth of posts....
what-joy once an oasis among strained corporate lives and boredom now seems truly a question - what-joy? Philosophical as it may seem, it is the truth
- what-joy?
what-joy is life....what-joy is death....what-joy is work....what-joy is sleep....(any takers?)

Off-late wildlife photography's craving seems to re-surface in my insides. Been following Kalyan Verma's site a lil' closely I should say. Pretty inspirational, makes me want to ditch those point and shoots and go for that elusive SLR. It's the first and last entity in my wishlist ever - Nikon D70. Anyone magnanimous enough could gift me one of them (it's an open offer - and I'd be his/her lifetime buddy for sure). Can't wait to head to the banks of Mississippi and integrate with nature - once and for all - credits to my new found friend Kirby. Can u believe it - I have started to dream about nature (taking the place of porn and metal...nature) - hallucinate actually....preparing myself for that moment in wilderness with the camera in hand and wildlife all around me....

Small town meets big city - is the title I'd give to my not so great trip to Chicago this thanksgiving. You readers must have seen the pics. Didn't quite like the trip all that much - Chicago was a lil' too big and a lil' too fast for my liking I guess. However I should mention that Sears Tower was definitely a highlight - beautiful structure with a killer view. The place I lived temporarily was a mini-India, which proved to be a big turn-off. Same ol' humbug, stifling and nauseating I should say. Overloaded with work as of now - so taking a mid-crisis break to touch upon the blog. Can't wait for the next couple of weeks to pass - and then I'd head to Buffalo - thanks to the philanthropic friend of mine who booked my tickets.

A subtle realization - "a lot of things in life requires an annoyingly long wait ". A subtle wish - "and it better be worth it". Random thoughts....this is how it goes....nothing worth it though....

P.S: and don't bother about my birthday to gift one of those SLRs...any day would be fine.
