...4, 3, 2, 1

...its a backward count, just in case you are wondering what that means in the title space. And with that, my mind has already started working on the things I want to PLAN for the next year. Isn't planning the best thing to do...so here goes my list for the 2009! In other words, my new year resolutions as of today (and the list will keep increasing...)
1. Sponsor a child for education and food and living for sure. Grow up with him/her.
2. Dig deeper into the mythologies around Garhwal and do something more concrete than just reading.
3. This follows the second point - attend the Nanda Jat yatra - even if it is for 2 days.
4. Click more of garhwal than I have in the recent times - with a purpose.
5. Visit Ladakh for sure this year (either Nanda Jat or Ladakh that is)
6. Listen to more of Top 40 chart songs... :) no..haven't gone crazy...just a resolution. A silly one.
7. Kerala backwaters/Italy - either of the two!
8. Grow my hair until my waist. :)

Stop....that's all until 27th Dec...I know the list will be a 100 by the time 1st Jan comes for me. Quite a task in hand in 2009...no? :) I love it.

Friday Morning!

Okay so I got inspired by a friend who had a very very cute profile picture with some expressions similar to the ones I have here in this picture and thought of clicking one like that.....lolz......I failed miserably...each time I saw her picture, it made me smile....

I am a hopeless optimist, so here's hoping this one does too...:D

Even if it doesn't..what the heck...smile...it's a friday!

Hizr!

Itni muddat baad mile ho,
Kin socho mein gum rehte ho?
Humse na poocho, hizr ke kiss-se,
Apni kaho, ab tum kaise ho?
Tej hawaa ne mujhase pucha
Ret pe kya likhte rahte ho
Kaunsi baat hai tumme aaise
Itne achche kyun lagte ho?

This Gazal is by Ghulam Ali Saheb. A beautiful one that I use to hear some 9-10 years back - I still love it today, just that haven't heard it in a long time.

(Uploaded this picture on Flickr today and thought of posting it here as well.)

People, happy sunday...enjoy the day....
