Comfort food

The 7-11 store next to my appartment complex sells coffee with lids that have the word "Sweetheart" written on them. It puts a smile on my face for no reason :)

Mirchi cafe in Fremont is unique for its decor. They selected images related to South Asia from the web and framed them on the wall as a collage. Click on the thumbnail to see the bigger sized photograph

Surviving Surgery

I've returned home from the hospital and the good news is that I'll get to try drugs legally, without any guilt :)

For the next couple of weeks, I would be vacationing in my room watching movies, reading books and catching up on all the sleep that I have lost in the last 15-20 years. I am not counting on leaving home that much so there may not be any updates to this photo blog during that period.

This photo is taken with my mobile phone camera so the resolution is not very good but I hope you guys would understand :)

See you soon!


Update:
I am feeling a lot better now, it's not a 100% recovery yet but I am getting tired of staying at home. The pain is gone and I am able to walk and drive my car now, the wound still bleeds a bit if I walk around a little too much but thats normal. I will have to continue changing the dressings for a while.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to write me a comment and for wishing me, it really helped a lot and I am very grateful for that :)

I came across these guys at a parking lot, they were looking out the back window of a Volkswagon Beetle. The sun was up at a 90 degree angle and the window was not clean, so this was the only angle where I could avoid the sun flare being reflected in the window. I sure hope that I get a chance to see that car again :)

I didn't get a chance to post another picture today as I am moving my computers to another location. Here's a up close photograph of the Dragon kite.

I found this plate on a park bench facing Lake Elizabeth in Fremont. It's amazing how so few words say so much.

The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

God Bless

Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
One last time, I could see you smile

I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way

Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby

Creatures of the night

The Mosquito season is in full swing. I have killed two mosquito equivalents of Yao Ming in the past few days. This one wanted to avenge his brethren and was waiting at the door when I came home the other night.
