share a page : moments from around the world
Updated my page of travels! Not very up to date as I am going from my travels dated April 05 on forth. 
Comments welcome!
share a photo : serendipity in serendib
serendib is an old Arabic name for sri lanka. and as i sit here waiting for something to happen this hot clammy night, i can’t help but remember a particular moment i captured en route to bentota. it was a non-routine stop at a beachside area. calm and not so sunny. the waves were gently lapping the shore. but if your eyes followed them as they retreated back into the magnificent expanse of the sea, you can’t help but feel a tinge of apprehension over the azure unknown. and there my mother stood, taking in the quiet, hiking up her salwar kameez to feel the sea at her feet and the world in front of her. it was a beautiful moment. i actually took another one after that where my sister and her were trying to catch the ‘big waves’. i was too busy to soak my feet in as i was trying to ‘capture the feeling’.
i guess the second photo could use some cropping and colour enhancement but i loved what they signified. i thought they turned out pretty poetic.
share a feeling : missing y’all
its a quiet saturday afternoon as i sit in my living room. corinne bailey ray softly singing, ‘put your records on’, cool weather and a nice warm tea – its perfect for a lazy afternoon. just missing some people to share it with. and for some reason, the mood transports me back to the holiday in sri lanka dec’07. at the end of our trip, too well rested and too energetic, i sat in our hotel in bentota and came up with this photo journey. i don’t think the parents really got it when i showed it to them. all they could say was, ‘you didn’t sleep the night before ‘cos of this?’
