Resurrection from dormancy ;)

I haven't been here in blog world for the past two months. Had no reason for not writing...had no reason for writing too. Didn't feel like writing, that's all. And today I feel like scribblng here something and I do've a reason for that (can't call it as a reason, though).

I've told you about Kavyakutti (no clue how many of you remember her), whose parents reside in Dubai. They've come down here for their vacation. Yesterday they had come here. A nice chap her father is!(brought some sweets for us ;)).

In between our talk, he mentioned about my blog too. A couple of weeks back, he came across my blog and read some of its entries and got impressed(strange? :) ). BTW, this post comes as a result of the inspiration, I got from him. And so, I'm dedicating this post to him.

That's all for now...

Here are some snaps, I took from Marine drive, Ernakulam, last week when I had a hang-out with my parents ;)












Today, Chingam-1. Wishing in advance all of you, a very very Happy Onam...

See you all soon!

She's really beautiful!

She's looking really gorgeous. Is it not?

Oh...don't get confused. I was talking about that green tea-plantations in the background. :)

Last week, I had a trip to Munnar with Amma and Achan. Trip was really good. We were there for 2 nights and 3 days. Enjoyed a lot. Trip was simply superb!

To be frank, I don't like reading blogs explaining someone's trip to somewhere. I usually get bored reading such literary travelogues. So, I think it's better not to tax you, making you read the whole story "Trip to Munnar". Shall put some snaps taken from there. Let them speak....

Lots of varities of flowers from the Old-Munnar Hydal park.

Soo.. nice the place is...so beautiful! I love that place. The greenery there, tea plantations, romantic climate [:)], foggy-misty mountains kissing the sky and everything and everything made our trip memorable.

Bye bye Munnar...

My new camera

You know, I have been having camera for the past 3 years. Even though I am not soo.. good at photography, I love taking photos and I am the official photographer of Nellayi :). But for the past few months, my (old) camera has been showing some problems regularly (primary reason - my carelessness during our 3rd semester trip). Really fed up with its daily repair. And at last, I was told that it's not so easy to get it repaired..desperate! :(

I never asked amma for a new camera. I haven't even mentioned about that. But understanding my feelings, she offered me one last week...so loving! After having expert opinion from chettan, we purchased our new camera (Olympus FE-370) on last wednesday. A good camera, with 100% satisfactory performance(atleast for me). I am so happy to receive this unexpected gift from my loving amma.

For the information of amma and chettan - I will be more careful with handling this new camera :)

A photo taken today morning... Kavyakutti in action :)

A few more photos...
