startdust



I liked this movie very much... people might think that its kids movie, but its not.
The locations that are shot in this movie are too good... almost kinda mesmerizing.
Also the graphics effect is too good... I loved the story in this movie.
One can go for it as a completely entertaining one...

It has got a love story, action scenes, comedy, witches, king and his sons... etc etc.
Good to watch :)

Someone to watch over me

Theres a saying old, says that love is blind
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
So Im going to seek a certain lad Ive had in mind

Looking everywhere, havent found him yet
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

Id like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

Theres a somebody Im longin to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone wholl watch over me

Im a little lamb whos lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one wholl watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key

Wont you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

(bridge)

Wont you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Someone to watch over me

PS: This song made me cry and the lyrics are awesome. It shows how lonely can a woman be and her longing for love. Beautiful song...

funeral services

Today while I was coming to office in bus, I saw something interesting.
Near the traffic signals, there was a Tata Winger standing.
Initially I thought its a BPO cab or something.
But I was wrong. I read the board on it as
"HEAVEN BOUND FUNERAL SERVICES
(Founded by Ft.....)"

I read it thrice to confirm what it meant.
Does the organization really meant it when they named it??
Would someone go to heaven if those services are taken?
Whats so special about the funeral treatment there??
I had upteen questions popping up in my mind during the 30seconds wait near the signal.
Well... i found it funny enough to laugh at myself.
We do bad/good deeds... so karma should be our part...
how can others give us moksha??

anywayz thats it for today....

Visit to Jain temple at Kolanpaka

Visiting a jain temple was one of the best things I have done recently.

How does the temple look like?
Here is the image...


how to travel??
Catch any train that goes towards Kazipet(Warangal) which has a halt near a station called "ALERU". Roughly this place is about 80kms by road and 1hr travel by train. Early morning car drive would be ideal. Well... journey by train is also excellent provided you get seats in the train. One can have mesmerising view of the fog and greenery during the travel.
One can get autos to get to the temple. They charge about Rs.10/- per person.

History of the temple:

Some of the beautiful snaps:

This is the side look of the temple

This is the main templee entrance with two elephants welcoming us :)

This is a beautiful marble design on the floor inside the temple

one of the side view of the temple

a prototype of the temple intended to be built i guess... i didnt find out much details

And thats me... looking bit funny with bag and frens stuff :P

I guess you all liked the images... one can plan for a one day trip for this place and come back. Breakfast is free in this temple. Make sure that you reach the temple before 8am in the morning. The main puja starts at that time and its good to see... The main Mahavir statue here is blue in color and very elegant...
It took 12 years to reconstruct this temple itseems... The sculpture and the statues are very beautiful in this temple. Very minute details are also caught in these statues...
This temple is quite different compared to most of the Hindu temples. There will not be any noise... chanting of mantras all the time... people pushing each other to have a look at god...
This place is beautiful with coconut trees and shade.
Also there is a museum itseems... but I didnt have a look at it.

Verdict: A place worth visiting to avoid the city chaos.
