Whats up?


Whats up?, originally uploaded by G2clicks.

Curiosity is what makes kids adorable and funny.

Look at this kid's expression. He looks curious, excited, a little scared, all at the same time.

If there was a speech bubble there, I would write "why is cold water falling from that grey blob high up in the air."

What would you write?

My mate his this theory that if you wake up early on a weekend morning, your day is longer. Since we, 9 to 6 corporate labourers, live from weekend to weekend, a longer day would definitely help.

For the last 2 weeks, I have been leaving home even before the sun shows up. As a treat to myself, I have been going to Swiss Bake for breakfast. They have amazing hot chocolate that goes perfect with this Scrambled Eggs Croissant.

Zoom in and look at the details and tell me you are not craving for one at this very moment!

Pour me a drink (Beach part 2)

I was waiting for my friend to get to this beach. The sun decided to take cover behind the clouds and everyone else in Singapore decided to stay in bed on this beautiful Saturday morning.

Luckily, I found a huge stick (the straw in the margarita) to do some sand art.

Weekends are all about having fun and I know a lot of people who live weekend to weekend and drink from Friday evening to Sunday morning.

This one is for all my friends who have been there at the right times. To invoke a classic AC/DC line here, "have a drink on me!!!"

Wow. That is the most beautiful sunrise ever captured on camera. Right?

I went to the beach last Saturday to catch the sun come out and start lighting the sky up on fire. Instead, there was a massive cloud cover. The sun wasn't clearly visible till 10 in the morning.

That meant less photography and more fun at the beach. I drew my own sunrise and captured it in the "golden hour" of the morning which was followed by some very good Swiss breakfast.

The only complain I had about the weekend was that it was too short.

Not made at the assembly line (part 2)

Here is 2 of 2 photos I wanted to share tonight.

These tiny mud dolls are lined up like they are standing on a conveyor belt in a factory that makes thousands of these 5 inch toys every day.

In reality, they are all hand made by villagers in Rajasthan. Handicraft is an important source of income and employment for a lot of people in Rajasthan who are toiling hard to keeping the art alive.

I sometimes like to call this magic not art because how else can someone turn mud into this beautiful toy, bring it to life with colors, add lovely decoration and move on to make more such toys that look exactly like the previous one, like the one made yesterday, like the one made last month, like the one made last year, like how the last generation used to make these. Magic! Don't you agree?
