A Serendipitous Tryst

The weather here today is overcast. I could feel the sad romance in the air calling out to me, so I decided to desert my math books today and instead took up a book by L.M.Montgomery. It was the perfect weather for some good old Prince Edward Island stories. I read the story Fancy's Fool again and inspired by it, actually penned down a romantic poem (which is very rare for me)! I like to call it "A Serendipitous Tryst". 

As the unseen stars
And the unheard music
Guided his feet,
He walked up the steps
Unknowingly
Toward a path
that faintly seemed
to speak of 
Enticement and beauty

She drifted in through the rusty gates
Lost in a reverie.
Reminiscent of a distant evening.
Was that a dream?
But a dream so beautiful
Reality lost competing.

She moved further
And stopped short
For was she to see
Coming up the steps
A fragment of her dream

He picked his way 
Through stone and rock
To tread the path
Where his breath stopped
For enticed was he. 

At first sights were exchanged
Then were words.
And unseen and unheard
A bond was formed,
And lasted long,
On the old stone wall.

Witty Signboards

When people hear I'm on a year off, they say "Wow that's so cool...You should enjoy your free time now... you'll never get this again..." Well, it's not all that cool. And I don't know if I ever do want this again. I'm not a person who jumps at the task in hand with full energy if given the chance to choose my own deadlines. That too with such a long time, it's really hard to be energetic all the time. Laziness doesn't chip in in my life these days, it hardly ever chips out! Though I do work on my studies everyday, there is not a day that passes without me stretching and yawning midday. Then I have to take a break and do something else.
Today, when I decided to do "something else" I stumbled upon some funny signboards. So I'm going to humour you with some of them.

This one is outside a temple in Bali. Balinese are extremely religious people. The book "Eat Pray Love" is invaluable when it comes to knowledge about Balinese traditions, and even otherwise is an insightful book.

Girls, I know one place you wouldn't want to go to on a date......

A SWIMMING POOL AD
I strongly advocate this ad. It used to happen to me when I was little.


Creative and to-the-point. 


                                                   Quite a word of praise about the police!

                                                           
                                                              This is the funniest!!
