Two Years together, in love

Love heart

Bangalore, a rainy day of October, 2006: Two friends walked in to a bus stop near Madiwala. They walked in as “friends”. But with the rain came love, which filled their heart and changed them in to two lovers, as they walked out.

Yes, its been two years since we met and decided that we will be together.  It’s that time of the year, when we travel back in to our memories, and live those days again.

 It feels so special to be with you, dear, or, rather, its so special, to be “yours”.

Hermann Hesse, “Siddhartha”

“When someone is seeking…it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything…because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal.” Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

I read this book in Malayalam and I am finding it little difficult to express, what it was like. I feel great, … I feel, I got something that will help me look at life and people from a perspective which is very much different from what it is now.

It’s tough to understand, sometimes, like when he says “There is no past, or future, …. everything is present. ..”  It is tough, when he says,

Old Post : Using Your Webcam to take picture for profile photo

gmail webcamEven when we use gmail and gtalk for most of our chat and email, we often go back to Yahoo, for video and Webcam. What if you have webcam also, on your gtalk or gmail ? Well, don’t get excited, the feature is yet to be announced. But, I think, its on its way. Reason ? Google announced recently, that Google Talk gadget users will now be able to take a picture directly from the webcam to use as their profile picture gtalk.

” Currently, this feature only works in the Google Talk gadget, but will set your picture across the Google Talk network, including in Gmail.”

Yahoo never allowed us to use webcam from a linux machine, will google enable that feature ? Thats my concern now.

How To

From the Google Talk gadget, click on your Google Talk picture, and select the “Take Photo” option. You’ll see the image from your webcam appear, and you’ll be able to take and retake pix to your heart’s content. When you get that perfect shot, just click “Save” to set it as your picture.

Currently, this feature only works in the Google Talk gadget, but will set your picture across the Google Talk network, including in Gmail.

I was in love with death

I was talking to you
When there was nothing to tell you
When my heart filled with words and things to tell you
I was silent

When you were near me
I tried to stop my tears
but failed
but when you left me
my eyes remained dry

when you were away from me
I was near you
but when you were with me
I was dreaming about you

When I looked around me
you were inside me
when I looked inside
you were some where in the sky

The day when I see you again
The moment I touch you once more
Then,
I will not let you leave me again
Coz I love you that much

My Lord ……


My lord

You are my temple
The church with thousand windows
Bleeding altar
your heart is a flower with thousand wounds

Each word from you had thousand dreams
each time I saw you, I was crying
there was no tears or sounds
still I cried before you

You made me live like a candle
love like a wind
be loved like a child

I am searching for a word to thank you
since “thank you ” is not enough for say
