Morning raaga

Was on my way to office. Auto.. traffic.. crowd.... kept listening to some classical fusion music in my mobile. 'Entharo Mahanubavalu ' fusion. The rythm took me to a new world. Closed my eyes and started tapping my feet to the beautiful music. Forgot the traffic and the honking vehicles and the scorching sun outside. As the 'kirthana' was reaching its zenith (i dunno what is the technical term to use for that. WIsh i learned calssical music), something woke me up. My olfactory nerves told me its time to wake up to the pandemonium outside. Opening my eyes, i found the Corporation lorry parked next to the auto!! Welcome back...it told me. Neverthless, I did find my way back to the paradise later.

Cocos craft Store

Have been noticing this store by name 'cocos' nearby my hostel for sometime. Everything about it suggested it is my kind of a place.. that will stock everything natural and eco friendly. Was surprised when i was greeted by a foreigner who appeared following the door bell. His collection was pretty good and at reasonable prices to. Wish I could become rich one day and buy the entire merchandise from him.. handmade bags, terracotta curios, beed jewellery, terracottta wall hangings (awesome.. and i learned from him that it is supplied by a craft village in kerala), photo albums made of recycled paper and pressed flowers. May be I will start such kind of a store one day. Yes, if dreams are horses.....
