Artwork of the Week

If sex were to be personified, it would with surety, take form of the tiger.

This Artwork of the Week (or of the year rather) just arrests. And as I type this on my faux tiger skin bedspread, admiring the print of a magnificent Bengal Tiger that shall soon adorn that empty spot of wall above my bed, I am reminded of a childhood dream. A dream of how someday I would in fact, rear a tiger of my very own.

But I now realise how selfish a dream that was. We live in a time where the Bali, Javan and Persian tiger species are already extinct; The rest that remain are sadly endangered.

I now have a new dream: A dream to see these striped felines I adore so much, survive the generations of time. A dying world, as many choose to see our Earth as, just cannot afford to be sans tigers. It just can't.

Far to Go

"Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,

Thursday's child has far to go,

Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay."

~ Mother Goose

I was born on a glorious Thursday, some 19 years ago.
Then, I grew and I grew.
I learnt and I learnt.
But what if, on that eventful day, I hadn't been born?
What if it all was written out differently?

Should we question all the little what ifs,
and wonder how the picture would have been painted?
Or should we just be thankful and peer positively into the horizon?
To look past all the storms ahead.
And still have the zest to want to reach the sky.
And then some.

I know, with every fibre of my being, that I have far to go.
So much further.
But a casual look behind me,
fuels the desire to not only want to continue on;
Rather to charge, with grace and goodness.

It sure helps to have a genuine smile
plastered on my face whilst I'm at it. =)

Quotable Quotes

"Are we human? Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital. My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees. Looking for the answer
Are we human? Or are we dancer?"

~ The Killers in their song, Human

Artwork of the Week

Out of the blue.

That's quite the comeback for this chapter that I started sometime back.

This AotW offers a different take on things.
Is what we perceive to see really in fact what is there to be seen?
Or is there always another viewing-angle;
another set of eyes to view things through?

Resu-erection

I haven't done this in the longest time, almost forgot how to.

Anyway, going AWOL all this while has made me want to
delete this thing that people call a blog. But you know what?
You don't give up on something just because you're lazy.

I'm sorry, but for whatever godforsaken excuse I can chalk up,
laze will not be one of them. Haha, okay who am I kidding?

I just decided against it, on account of so many people having
deleted theirs. And I just don't go with the flow. A rebel perhaps? ;-)

So here I am, lying in this sea of a bed.
Sprawled. Supine. Smiling.
Nothing else could be better.

And the antibiotics I'm on seem to be making me all woozy.
So jack this bitch, I'm going to sleep.

Oh, and by the way, how clever is the title? =P

I Might Have Forgottten

to say goodbye.

So better late then never.

P.S. Its been great. =)
