Now You See Me, Now You Don't




Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there. Maybe you haven't looked long enough, or hard enough. Or maybe you're not looking at the right thing.

But I'm curious : Are you sure you know what you're looking for?

Take A Deep Breath


Isn't it beautiful? Don't you wish you could just sit there on the sand and stare away at the clouds and the sea? I wish I could. I really do...

This one is right out of a storybook. Deserted island, approaching storm, waves crashing in. Wow.

You look out in rapture. You let the view overwhelm your senses. But then you know you're not on a deserted island. So you take a deep breath, turn around, and walk away...

Soupa Fish!


Float on till the spoon arrives,
Run for your life once it does.
But you can't run, so use your fins
But that's no fun, so bump into your friend
As foe takes friends one by one
You watch them go and come undone
Meanwhile, you wonder
What could be so cruel?
Why does it want you?
Why are you so tasty?
Why is your pond so warm?

But why can't you answer any of these questions?
Because that's the way things are
So just float on until your turn comes
Because when it does, it will be quick
And you will be soggy, and you'll realize
Even though you might be the Soupa Fish
You're still a baked snack.

The Grocery Store


"Okay, my last word
Might not have been so- appropriate
I'm sorry it came off that way

I know it brought you back
To the Grocery Store
When you smiled, at everyone
You could've cried

If we take a step back
Let go of pride
We just might have a chance"

A tribute to Goldspot. For all the great songs :)

Fancy-Schmancy Flower Power




Splash me with color, feel free to spray,
Vibrant and crisp. What do you say?
This shade, that shade; Which shade suits me?
This shape, that shape; Oh just let me be!

Blooming, my guest,
For you, I'm blooming my best!
Please tell me you love me for what I am.
Put me on your tress, I'll take care of the rest,
Otherwise- Boom! Biff! Bam!

Suck It!


You're a bee on a flower.

a) How did you get there?
Ans: You probably flew/crawled/fell or teleported (highly unlikely) on to it.

b) What do you do now?
Ans: Just suck it. The nectar (what else?). Why do you think your bee instincts led you to the flower in the first place?

c) You're done. Now what?
Ans: Sheesh! I don't know. Try a different flower?

PS : Click on the pic to get a closer look.

Rustic


Unnoticed... Untouched... There are beautiful things in places where we'd least expect them.

I guess it's good to keep our minds, ears and eyes open- after all there's always something worth noticing along the way.

Beam & Split


How poetic. Wow. It's like a dream. Really.

Divergent rays of light.

I just spoiled the good feeling you had with that last sentence. Didn't I?

Sanctuary


A place to wonder, ponder and hide away in plain sight. Someplace safe, calm, quiet and empty.

Fiat lux. Let there be light.

Hibread


Hybrids can pop out of the weirdest of places. Your toaster, for example!

Well this one happened before the toaster stage. Presenting to you, the one and only orange jam/bread hybrid. Hibread!

You can clap now :)

Hey! Hay! Horsie


Artwork on a horse. A colorful horse. With bright red lips (?) and teeth. Teeth at every alternate position.

The vertical ears and the messy hay hairstyle. The unconditioned tail. The attitude.

Something I found staring back at me while I was cleaning my room. Oh well, I guess even horses can pick tacky outfits.

Spider-baby?


Spider-baby, spider-baby,
Friendly neighbourhood spider-baby.
Legs up on the elevator doors,
By the time you can go up two floors.
Look out! Here comes the spider-baby...
