Green eyes

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I came here to talk
I hope you understand
The green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you
And how could, anybody, deny you
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter now I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes

Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know

The green eyes, you're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried to deny you, must be out of their mind
Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter since I met you
Honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes, green eyes
Oh oh oh oh

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand

Oh Huzoor....

Personally, I think this is some of my best work on Photoshop to date. This picture was taken on a small fishing boat off the coast of Karachi. This is possibly my oldest friend and (wierdly connected to me) cousin, lets call him Y. Y and I have been friends since I was 3 years old and he was just being born. It was great to see him again in Karachi of all places. He's like me in many ways, the most glaring of our differences are on the outside ie. he's a ladies man due to his good looks and I.. well I'm just a sad nerd who puts pictures of good looking friends on his blog.

ps: Y's picture reminds of a seriously sick hindi song called "Tera Suroor". Check it out if you can.

Parisien memories glide in my mind's eye

jaune

Along a cozy little side street in Honfleur (also in Normandy), where the sun reaches for a just few hours everyday, this yellow pizzeria complete with its yellow-accented furnishings, provides a bright contrast all day. We couldn't eat here because fresh fish was calling my name, but it definitely looked enticing.

The fish that I did end up having was awesome though, thanks for asking.

Le Mont St. Michel

A picture of Le Mont St. Michel as we got close to it in our car. I had my first crepe experience here, it wasn't that good. Subsequent crepes were far better. I nearly bought a musket here, but I decided not to in the end- a very good decsion in retrospect, because I ended up staying in Paris two more days than I was supposed to.

All in all , a beautiful castle, gorgeous architecture within its walls but there were a hell of a lot of tourists. This was our last stop in Normandy before we doubled back to Paris and its silken streets.
