fellow thief!...



some dreams are like...



a lifetime spent walking in the shoes of someone else.
uncomfortable, unlike the ones you left behind
at some doorstep a long long time ago,
for someone else to find & walk in.

a small gift, maybe perhaps it is
from one thief to another.

to be stolen discreetly
& never returned.
fellow thief
shssh!


...who stole mine? and whose dreams have i stolen?

Wow! I never knew MSU could look so beautiful! the building looks grand! Great pictures, devil!

Absolutely love the first two. The different shades of green with the orange in between is so pretty!

The picture of the dome is brilliant!

Campuses have aura ! And sometimes.. just sometimes, the aura seeps through the lens of a REAL someone.

This time, that someone is you !

Lovely post.

u r graduating or something... u said you will miss it?

and that pyramid poem is AMAZING! :)

Charsi: well, there is so much more to MSU than the inefficient administration and the redundant educational structure plagued by student politics...all said and done, it did us some good to be here...and it sure is beautiful! we just don't perceive it as such in the normal grind of classes.


Kavi: thanks mate. you do tend to send me 'over-the-board' with your comments that are like Prozac to an incorrigible immodest narcissist that i am...

:)


Shaili: yep! i'm done with MSU and Baroda (i.e. if all things go as planned)...

...i still got a couple of months here though. so it would indeed be a shame to miss out on a rendezvous with a fellow blogger before logistical & demographic issues become a paramount factor.

ps: glad you liked the poem! :D
