KITES.... THEY FLEW....

It’s the weekend… a boring one, rather. Spent the whole weekend at home, watching some movies… cleaning out here & there a bit…. reading and most of all.. missing my friends. I wish this weekend was one like the last one.. I call it Kite Saturday. That Saturday was full of laughs… kites… smiles and loads of air… The weekend I flew kites with my best friend!

Still in love (and will be forever) with kites since I was a kid, I love all the things about kites… Yeah.. I mean ALL the things.. from making them to watching them fly so high… So… last Saturday… we made giant kites, decorated them… and flew them, having loads of fun. They floated in the air like beautiful giant butterflies… They swayed with the air waves, dancing in the sky.. They conquered the sky for the few hours they were roaming in the sky….Shhh.. Know this?? When the kite is dancing in the sky, close your ear to the string of your high-flying kite (I call it the link between earth and the sky).. You can actually hear the sound of the high winds in the farthest skies… Trust me!!

Kites are a very different subject, my friends. Everyone can’t make them properly. You have to know the precise technique to build up the structure. Once you’re done with it, the way you decorate it with papers should give it a proper balance as well. Your creativity matters when you decorate it. The other most important task is handling the kite cleverly, or else, it will break free. Ok.. Those are some serious stuff you should remember.

Kites are so fascinating things. I simply love them all. And you know… my best friend is really good at making them. I’m proud of you my buddy. Why? Cz they were not just kites. They were GIANT kites. And Konga… I missed you so much that day men. Jj, good thing you were not around with your heartless-metalic aircraft of yours, cz our majestic kite-of-a-fairy will simply scare your metallic monster away. Hehe!! Well.. lets see if you can kill that one you KITE KILLER!!

Thank you so much my buddy.. for making my day and making that day happen. You’re the bestest kite maker ever… and of coz.. the best kite runner around. See.. I was able to make one of my wild dreams come true… and I’m so very happy about it (thanks to you my best friend!) Life is full of good things if you look around. There are so many things you miss in your lives.. Just don’t wait… Enjoy while you can. Then only you can feel that this life is not as cruel as most people think it is.

See this picture? Wow!! Isn’t it?? Well, people… this one belongs to me and my best friend!!

AUGUST... THE MONTH OF THE KITES.....

Noted the first kite of the season in the August sky yesterday morning... Couldn't stand it; so captured it from my camera.. Wow!! It's already August!! The month of the kites!! Can't wait to fly one this season.. Oooo... it's finally happening this weekend.. I can't wait..!!

LONGING FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS....

The night sky is most of the times dark. You see all these tiny stars blinking all over the sky. The moon only chooses to appear for a day or two. Time by time, a shooting start passes by. It’ll just appear and vanish as a blink of an eye; you don’t even have time to make a wish upon it. When I look at the night sky, sometimes I can’t help wondering that our lives are as same as the night sky. You see stars… moon at times… and time by time, a lil surprise like a shooting star. But won’t this ever change???

Have you heard of Northern Lights?? (Aurora in particular).. It’s a natural display of colored lights happening in the night sky… Wow!!! Sounds dreamy, isn’t it?? It is!! It’s called the Dance of the Spirits in North, and happens in the Northern Hemisphere, to be particular. The name ‘Aurora’, was given after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora. Perfect name to choose, isn’t it? Now, let me tell you one famous legend bound with these wonderful Northern Lights.

“The ends of the land and sea are bounded by an immense abyss, over which a narrow and dangerous pathway leads to the heavenly regions. The sky is a great dome of hard material arched over the Earth. There is a hole in it through which the spirits pass to the true heavens. Only the spirits of those who have died a voluntary or violent death, and the Raven, have been over this pathway. The spirits who live there light torches to guide the feet of new arrivals. This is the light of the aurora. They can be seen there feasting and playing football with a walrus skull. The whistling crackling noise which sometimes accompanies the aurora is the voices of these spirits trying to communicate with the people of the Earth. They should always be answered in a whispering voice. Youths dance to the aurora. The heavenly spirits are called selamiut, "sky-dwellers," those who live in the sky.”

The sky is dark and empty. Suddenly, the dark sky is filled with the colours of the dancing light… Spirits are dancing in the night sky…It takes your breath away… It’s the most wonderful sight you’ve ever seen. Just like that… we all wait for the wonderful Northern Light to appear in our own dark sky. We long for that miracle to appear and lighten up our sky… chasing the shadows of the darkness away.. and brightening up our lives…When the light appears in our sky.. the brightness it will bring is far more than the stars… the moon.. or the shooting stars.. We long.. and wait for that moment to happen in our lives… whatever way. Living your life… hoping for the best to come your way someday… That’s what Northern Lights in your sky are all about.

I'M SO OVER IT....

There are certain things in your life, you have to let go. At a certain point, you always have to let go. Knowing certain things are not worth holding on to, you have to let go. And when you realize that someday, you have to let go, you let go. This song touched my heart so deeply. It’s all about letting go. The video is superb. The last part of the video brought back a certain memory to my mind. Hmmm…. Couldn’t help it. So.. it’s all about letting go. Realize.. let go… and you move on.

Katherine McPhee -"Over It"

I'm over your lies, and I'm over your games.
I'm over you asking me, when you know I'm not okay.
You call me at night, and I pick up the phone.
And though you've been telling me, I know you're not alone. oh..

That's why (your eyes)
I'm over it (your smile)
I'm over it (realize)
I'm over it, I'm over it , I'm over..

CHORUS
Wanting you to be wanting me.
No that ain't no way to be.
How I feel, read my lips, because I'm so over..
Moving on, it's my time, you never were a friend of mine.
Hurt at first, a little bit, but now I'm so over, I'm so over it..

I'm over your hands, and I'm over your mouth.
Trying to drag me down, and fill me with self-doubt. oh..

That's why, (your words)
I'm over it (so sure)
I'm over it (I'm not your girl)
I'm over it, I'm over it, I'm over...

CHORUS

Don't call, don't come by, ain't no use,
Don't ask me why, you'll never change,
There'll be no more crying in the rain.

CHORUS

I'm so over it.... I'm over it....

CHORUS

13 GHOSTS...

“This house is not a house. It is a machine. It is a complete and faithful recreation of Basilisks’ design. According to this, (the book) there should be 12 earthbound spirits trapped inside. See these? They represent the black zodiac. They represent the ghosts Cyrus needed to catch. The first born son.. The Torserer.. The bound woman… The withered lover… The torn prince…The angry princess…The pilgrimist… The great child and the dying mother…The hammer…. And here, the sign of hell’s winter; The Jackal…and the Juggernaut… According to Basilisk, the machine requires the energy of these specific spirits in order to bring it to life. Once it engages the spirits are released one by one. The house then draws them to its centre, each one adding its energy to the machine, powering it up”. (Powering it up for what?) To open the eye of hell in front of them”

This is my favourite part of the movie, where the ghost hunter (played by Shannon Elizabeth) explains the mystery of the house to the family.

It’s not particularly a horror movie (it is… but..). I’d rather name it as a ‘ghost story’. I liked the movie. So.. here’s something short and sweet FYI. A very rich collector (Cyrus) of unique things dies and he leaves it all to his nephew and his family. All including his house, his fortune, and his malicious collection of GHOSTS! Released in 2001, the cast includes Tony Shalhoub, Embeth Davidtz, Matthew Lillard, Shannon Elizabeth, Rah Digga, JR Bourne, Alec Roberts, F. Murray Abraham. This is actually the remake of the movie “House on Haunted Hills”.

Dennis : There are ghosts in the basement!
Maggie: This basement?
Dennis : Of course this basement! What is it with you people? If it was the basement next door I wouldn't give a s**t, would I?

Tag Line: There are ghosts around us all the time. Most of them don't want to hurt us. But, there are exceptions...
