MAY BE

Maybe. . we were supposed to meet the
wrong people before meeting the right
one so that, when we finally meet the
right person, we will know how to be
grateful for that gift.

Maybe . . . it is true that we don't
know what we have until we lose it,
but it is also true that we don't know
what we have been missing until it
arrives.



Maybe . . . the brightest future will
always be based on a forgotten past;
after all, you can't go on
successfully in life until you let go
of your past mistakes, failures and
heartaches.



Maybe . . you should hope for enough
happiness to make you sweet, enough
trials to make you strong, enough
sorrow to keep you human, and enough
hope to make you happy.






Maybe . . . the happiest of people
don't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.





Maybe .. . . the best kind of friend is
the kind you can sit on a porch and
swing with, never say a word, and then
walk away feeling like it was the best
conversation you've ever had.

Maybe . . . happiness waits for all
those who cry, all those who hurt, all
those who have searched, and all those
who have tried, for only they can
appreciate the importance of all the
people who have touched their lives.

May be . . you should do something nice
for someone every single day, even if
it is simply to leave them alone.





Maybe . . . there are moments in life
when you miss someone -- a parent, a
spouse, a friend, a child -- so much
that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real, so
that once they are around you
appreciate them more.

Maybe … giving someone all your love
is never an assurance that they will
love you back. Don't expect love in
return; just wait for it to grow in
their heart; but, if it doesn't, be
content that it grew in yours.








Maybe .. . . you should dream what you
want to dream; go where you want to
go, be what you want to be, because
you have only one life and one chance
to do all the things you dream of, and
want to do.


"Life is only traveled ONCE; Today's MOMENT becomes Tomorrow MEMORY.
Enjoy every moment, good or bad, because the GIFT of LIFE is LIFE its."

PHOTO MANIPULATION BY ERNIEL

From preambulation.

As I strolled in my neighbourhood park, the photographer in me woke up, yawned and flexed his creative muscle.

Feeling warm.

Saluting Sunlight.

Inclined but upwards.

The pleasure of siesta.

A break from oscillations.

THE PATH. THE DESTINATION.

Last Saturday my brother and I went to Thirupathi. From Thirupathi we walked to Thirumalai, uphill, where Lord Venkateshwara stands in his temple with his charming smile granting boons to all those who visit him. It takes about four to four and a half hours. The Lord is so merciful that he wants to see us, and us to see him, even before we reach the destination. So he stands all along the way, in his various forms, as if to say that he is the path as well as the destination. 

Ganesha, The Lord of all Beginnings.

Machamurthy, The incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu as a fish.

Koormamurthy, The incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu as a tortoise.

Varahamurthy, The boar-faced incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu. 

Narasimhamurthy, The Lion-faced incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu.

Vaamanar, The incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu as a dwarf.

Parasuramar, The incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu as an angry man with full of wrath.

Balaramar, The twin brother Sri Krishna. 

Shri Ramar, The most perfect incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu. Incarnation of all goodness. My favourite. :)

Sri Krishna, The Super Human. The complete form of Lord Maha Vishnu. It is impossible to find a character, in mythology, fiction or in history, who can better him in both spiritual and material achievements. 
Sri Krishna's feet, cleanser of all sins.

Garuda, Vehicle of Lord Maha Vishnu and an eternal enemy of all snakes. 

Lord Hanuman, Ardent devotee of Lord Rama. Incarnation of health. My inspiration and role model. 

This is the first time I am posting photos taken by me in this blog. Sri Krishna's foot and garuda were taken by my brother Manivannan.
