coincidental photographs
[received via email from a friend. all the photos seem to have been taken from this russian site]

stuff that's too long for twitter & not really apt for my blog

photos
of trees and sacred memories
[inspired by this post by bongi]
this photo was taken in 2005, ten years after we planted a sapling in the then empty lot in front of the fairly new auditorium in our medical college on our graduation day. the little sapling had grown into a young tree of fairly respectable height, now in a pleasant copse. i'm sure it's grown more in height and bulk in these four years. i can't honestly say that i had lofty thoughts like bongi…i lay under the tree and, as best i could, told my friend who was with me about these thought. i then added that i would use the tree as a sort of temporal marker that i could come back to when i was finally what i would be. then i would stand under the tree and remember that exact moment when i looked into the unknown future with innocent hopes and dreams.
…but i do remember thinking about how immature and unprepared for the real world i was on that day when we planted that sapling.

clay vinayagar
made by my daughter for the competition held at her school on saturday for vinayagar chathurthi.
many thanks to Mrs. NS who gave her the idea of making a stucco vinayagar on a granite stone, which turned out to be much easier to do, rather than a free-standing (er…sitting) vinayagar. made with modelling clay and Play-Doh, then painted with gold-ish paint (does wonders to the statue, in my opinion). additional decorations with plastic leaves. though the mouse didn't turn out well, i think the plantain leaf with the prasadam is superb. my daughter says one of her classmates overheard the teachers saying she got first place. we await the results. will keep you all posted :)
