This is an amazing piece of ART in a beautiful place lying FAR South-Western corner of London to blow anyone off who just likes nature, sea, mountains, rocks, white sands, blue water and of-course ART. This is a theater standing on the edge of a rocky cliff with a beautiful backdrop of sea... Rowena Cade created this internationally famous cliff-side theater with her own hands and personal fund in the year 1929 looking down the infamous beach of Porthcurno.

Invitation Sent

Ah, the weather here in the foreign land finally started turning pleasant... today while working inside the room I was sweating like anything and seemed like the temperature is high up like 40 degrees. But it was only 10 degrees which my lappy soughted... Still it is just another pleasant time in the city of Nottingham...

So the invitation to Spring is sent and accepted... And Boy, it's making me crazy ;)

Alien spikes...

P.S. This photograph of the first blossom that I got to see here during this grey period, near the zebra crossing that I cross everyday to go to school. I was actually noticing them since the day the alien spikes came out of the ground showing the shade of green from the color palate of nature. I was expecting some flowers but not these beautiful ones... So beautiful they are really :)
And not to mention SX 100 still rocks...

High Performance

The second term of 'Masters in Architecture' started with a boom.... Lots of new things to learn, many informative lectures, some meaningful research topics but still it seems 'm lacking in somthing... and the worst part is 'm yet to figure it out. Writing it at 11 pm in the night sitting in the library where the day started some 12 hours before and still an aimless night to go. Actually working on a presentation since last 3-4 hours and it seems 'm yet to start.. Damn. Oh yes, 'm getting bit lazier... I wish not to see the daylight while going out from the here...

And this photograph that I clicked today evening during a group meeting, Eman's new 'hp' laptop it is. The lovely pattern on the solid metal case tempted me to get it captured with the SX 100, no matter if 'm not carrying the 1000D... lolz.

An Encounter with Italian Beast: FERRARI

When the time do passes by with normal business of day to day schedule, some strange things do happen to make you realize that there is always a life BEYOND that. I was lazy like anything since last 2-3 days, normally the to and fro between my 125 sq feet room and University campus.
Today I went out in search of a hardware shop to buy few bolts and dashed to this FERRARI showroom, damn, I was all blown with the glimpse from outside. After a while I realized that I'm just staring the mean machines only from outside with my mouth wide open, so decided to get inside for the pleasure of eyes and so for you...

The one that really attracted me, 1985 288 GTO...
