its always hard to be out early in the morning, when ones routine takes us to bed at mid night.
but then when i want to experience something out of the ordinary, breaking the routine and getting the early morning sun never ceases to amaze me.

the serenity that follows the early mornings is something that i have not been able experience at any other time of the day.

the birds happy about the new day that has begun, the beach undisturbed and filled with people busy with their own work that they rarely make any noise or fuss as they go about their routine, the waves sound much more clearer during this time as if the sands where tamed during the night and the waves are relaxed about it all.

add to that the early morning chill and freshness that comes along.

it brings out the hidden energy from within us, to make the day feel much more better than it would have been. like in those days when one would wake up from bed, head to get the morning routine finished and then head to work with all the machinery giving you company en-route to work.

we stand there in some selected path and points, as we are spectators to nature going about its journey, and at no point it easily revealing its inner workings.

our presence is a mere coincidence,

with or without everything around, things go about their work with a purpose that cannot be easily understood. nor be understood as to how the purpose is instilled to these said things, that our mind cannot comprehend.

but as spectators we can all but put an effort to understand, as the repeated attempts at some point might pay off.

as we make ourselves clear of confusion and focus on the now, present.
things become clear and make things simple in life.

but the ability to be in a clear and simplified state is easier said than done. considering the amount of distractions we have today that we let ourselves to be distracted by

here are a couple of photos from the recent trip to kauai, hawaii.

the contrasts in the various elements of nature that compliment to provide such an exhilarating and beautiful view, is something i will get tired of

Here are some of the photos from our recent trip to south lake tahoe.

We spent the weekend over at a cottage overlooking the lake near the zephyr cove beach. we had a nice hike to the lower eagle falls and a late evening sunset by the zephyr cove beach. and indoors we spent on a pretty long cards game till around 3am after the dst came on.

For christmas we were back in Los Angeles to travel to Bryce canyon. our route was through las vegas, hoover dam, and back to LA via death valley. Even though we ended up not really going through death valley, we just touched the borders.

Here are some of the shots from the thanksgiving week 2011. We spent most of the time in Los Angeles with my uncle, but before going there. me and aaranya were out seeing Golden gate and surrounding area, lake tahoe and highway 1.

i have moved out from finland and moved in to the bay area.
at the same time changed companies from Nokia to Palm/HP. the place is new, the job is new, but then the thoughts are pretty much the same.

reflecting as of today … the past, i miss those days where i went off in a different tangent in the blog.
when the mind would roam about and i would culminate those thoughts

Known is a drop, unknown is an ocean

there’s one life to live and the world to explore. and we still have not explored the world around us to know ourselve’s. so we plan to live the life to know and learn.

its in those moments that change our life, that we are shown how to live life!

when we do not get out of my comfort zone and learn, there is very little we learn. the more we move away, the more we are prone to make choices/decisions that will lead us to newer direction.

we have very little to lose, if we think & act like we have very little lose – we have a lot more to lose, if we chose to think & act so.
then why would we have to be closed and apprehensive to change, when change was all that we wanted ?
embrace the change and take it as a pointer to move ahead
