Hello my madcaps
Have a good spring and enjoy the sunshine!!

When the world lies dreamless
Floating in a timeless abyss
Pushing through rock and gravel
Inching upward they travel
Little forgotten miracles
Hyacinths, tulips, daffodils
Breaking the ground with life anew
Heralding beginnings in every hue

I have to share this with you. Take a listen to my friend Raghu’s music. After many years of blood, sweat and tears his first album has finally been released….and endorsed by the baadshahs and belles of bollywood . But honestly, the music is wonderful…and not just coz its my friend’s. His myspace page has samples…listen and order a copy of his CD.

Hello DSS,

Almost a year and half since I last posted something….and a really long time since I visited. Does not feel that long though…its almost like a homecoming of sorts eh!!

Well, I am going to try and be a bit more regular at posting and visiting and buckwassing with you all of course.

Here’s a poem I wrote a long while back…
Searching for you

Fellow bloggers, friends,

As you might already know, I volunteer at KBCS, a community radio station that serves the greater Seattle area. KBCS is a listener supported radio station with music, news and public affairs programming that mainstream media does/will not broadcast.

I am beginning to thaw a bit…just a wee bit. so after a looong time, here’s a little post - http://chays.blogspot.com/2006/11/this-old-house.html

I wrote this in Jan…I was terribly sad and was mourning something I lost almost 15 years ago. Scribbles and scratches and a couple of clicks are all I have of the day that I confronted this old skeleton in my closet.

Its amazing how quickly we become de-sensitized to some situations….especially towards children on roads.

A few more….

Mehendi,

High morning!!

Its time I started writing about my experiences from my India trip…I returned 7 months ago and if I dont start now…I might just forget everything!!

But I find that most of what I saw, I photographed….I wont be able to tell you the stories unless I share the pictures. I have been posting on Flickr for a while now…but Ashoe is the only regular visitor from DSS. So I am going to repost them onto my blogs…and I hope you come visit me there…

The ultimate late latif that I am, I ran towards the train when there was 5 minutes left for departure and no seats that could be found easily. Jam packed, the train slowly pulled out of ‘Majestic’…

Bangalore – The city that always was a dream. While growing up, a trip to the city with my dad was a treat that was more desired than a day off from school. An early morning train ride that was made more memorable by the fragrant masala dosas and maddur vadas which were ferried on the shoulders of many familiar vendors some of whom we knew by name and in turn we were known simply as sir or madam or amma. That was Bangalore - with its India Coffee House and British Council Library. What a city it was – Bangalore – the Garden city, wide roads, larger than life trees, great cinema, Kalakshetra and pubs . Bangalore – where life could be perfect…nearly perfect!!

I have missed blogging. I have missed DSS.
