Sunset and Kites

Yesterday i was sitting in my office in the room that we call the "large conference room". The place is just like any other room in the office. There is just one difference. The windows there do not have any blinds or curtains. This enables a clear view of the outside. My place was facing those blinds-less windows. I was in the middle of a training session and was paying full attention to it. Suddenly my eyes caught the glimpse of the yellow sun, shining a little above some clouds. The orange light of the sun was so mesmerizing and hypnotizing that i just could not take my eyes off it. Although the motion was not clearly visible, it was visible enough. While i was looking, the sun first tucked itself behind the clouds and then completely hid. I waited a while for it to come out of the other side. When it didn't i knew it was time for the sun to sleep. :-)

Then i shifted my gaze and fixed it on the kites that were flying right outside the window. I knew soon it would be dark and the kite fliers would have to go home. I just quickly filled my eyes and imagination with the golden drops of the sun and then the free flying kites. Then i came back from that magical world to the reality and concentrated some more on the training session.

Wish i can see that sunset some time again soon. Better still it would be great if i can photograph it or make a video.

Writer's Block

Even though i like to write but I was never much of a writer (still am not). I guess i was always more of a story teller (my siblings and a few younger cousins would agree). I do have some of my own made up stories to tell. But i am suffering from a bad case of "writer's block". I think of a cool thing to write about and till the time i get round to putting it in type, i lose all the magic. I wonder how it can be cured. Maybe i need to read other people's literary work in order to get inspiration. Or maybe i need to look back at my life and dig out interesting incidents that i might be able to turn into interesting tales. Whatever needs to be done, needs to be done right away. Desperate measures need to be called for. I really do not want to lose this tiny little flare that i have in me to write. ;-)

Finally!

After so many days i have finally been able to access blogger.com from home. I wonder what my ISP is up to.
