Daffodils

This pic is here for 3 reasons ...( well as if you need any reasons...lol...)

- Check out http://sreescanvas.blogspot..com amazing oil paintings , and they are doing this A2Z flower fest thingy.
- Just recently saw a movie Namesake and the rendition of a poem which was so much a part of our growing up in schools. I have pen down the same for sublime enjoyment for all.
- While writing a play somebody took my character and named as " Narcissus" ( I hate you TR ...lol....)

And now the poem....here we go -

Daffodils

I WANDER'D lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;


Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

By William Wordsworth

Few places where we use to have Dinner


- This place was my fav for obvious reasons -
a) Food was delicious and you could try flavored Shi-sha.( I couldn't stop laughing when I saw a Multivitamin shisha...lol...??? - I don't think this is available in India.)
b) After having dinner , my expression was equally if not more like that Camel :-)

check the website -www.shishandis.de

- Monkey !


- This place was where we made cake of ourselves. We made this cute movie....we were the Star...lol....this place had the belt where food was moving . My boss ( Smart lady ...she turned towards right and went to the ordering area for take away...)
We idiots (and leading the pack was me)...who turned to left.....( I am weird in certain direction logic....) and just imagine we are moving along the belt movement...and looking for our boss....by the time we completed full circle ....and joined her...she was laughing ( read embarrassed!!)
- Sushi was awesome.....!!
