I can't remember how long I actually tried to understand these abstract art in Singapore(and ultimately failed to understand :D) , which were so prevalent around the country..

That Million Dollar Gift In You...

   Don't we all have that million dollar gift in us, that most of us take for granted? A gift that we ignore so much and not care about the massive value of it.
   Yes, its our 'Smile'... It's that million dollar gift that costs us nothing, but just lights up our face and brightens up everyone around us. I sometimes wonder why people really hesitate to use this gift. Well, smiling too much might drive into misunderstandings at times, but really.. a little smile, making a tiny curve on the lips is definitely not going to be a crime I'd rather say.
   Sometimes I don't think we really need a reason to smile to another human being at the beginning of a day. Everyone is rushing around in streets and at offices at the beginning of each day and I'm sure most of us look forward to see pleasant and cheerful faces, just to brighten up our morning and soak ourselves in a cheerful spirit throughout the day.
Everyone is looking for a great start for their day or may be just to forget about all the frustrations they have and just move on. A good smile from someone may mean a million dollars to a person.. You may never know! I mean after all, it really doesn't cost a cent to use this fantastic gift that we are all gifted with. Not to mention the remarkable health and personal benefits that smiling can bestow upon you in return. So start using that million dollar gift in you.. It's never too late :)

Ready to take off ...

This amazing insect was found on a small branch of green leaves, camaflaged to a great extent, that it was almost so hard to spot it until it flew away from the branch.
And displayed above is a picture of the butterfly type insect trying to get ready to take off into the air..

Here are some photos of the exhibits:

Pretty interesting oldy with the rear side of the car resting on the ground, where it is suppose to raise itself up as the car starts..








US oldies....

Poetry

Is there any hope?

Have you ever felt
how a never healing wound
would feel like...
In a country faced with war
the affected feel the same...

It's frustrating and dissapointing
Yet, they seek a light of hope
which unfortunately is like
seeking water in a desert.
Then it feels like
the wound never heals.

It started like a smoke
soon this power thirst
flickered into a fire called "War"
This three letter word
carries definitions so many..

Yet, in the eyes of the affected
it's merely a nightmare,
massacre, destruction, bloodshed
a devastating truth
you wish you never had to face.

It's a known truth,
no one wins from a war
but this truth is unseen
by many who are
blinded with terrorism, power hunger
racism and extremism.

Helping hands lended towards peace
but how many of them are genuine?
Even the word 'Peace'
is gaining distorting definitions
each day now

Where is all this heading ?
where are we heading ?
Shouldn't everyone
rather see the "truth"
But when will this happen
Do we have any hope left . . ?

Tree house@ Amaya Lakes Hotel. (2007/04)A photo taken at Amaya Lakes Hotel, Dambulla. The photo suprisingly looks a lot like a painting with the lighting and shades falling upon the tree trunk perfectly, in quite an artistic manner.
