"The sharp knife of a short life

I've had just enough time..."


- "If I Die Young" The Band Perry


I see Beauty in many things. And like the ghosts that only speak to you if you notice them, they tell me wondrous tales. With my camera and my thoughts, I captured these as faithfully as I can to share with you. And by doing so, they gave me the reasons. And though the thousand reasons may not all be sweet and some indeed bitter; they are still reasons to live. Come to think about it, that is Life, isn't it?

Why Men Dress Up?


I've had just enough time...   to learn why men dress up :)

The Men of Octoberfest, Munich wants to be...


“When men dress up…”

The professor paused. He tapped his pipe against the table, and moved it to his lips in one smooth slow motion. He dragged on it with a few sharp sucks till smoke came out his nostrils and his ears. He closed his eyes and give a deep draw, opened them and blew out the smoke in a long slow continuous stream the way John Cage of Ally McBeal poured water from the jug in the courtroom. When he stopped, my entire attention was on his bushy moustache and the words that poured out.

“When men dress up…”

He paused and I hold my breath. My chest was heaving from an agitated heart keenly waiting for the profound revelation. Unhurriedly, in a deliberately studious manner he continued -

“… according to my comprehensive surveys and researches … over many years of studies … through many countries … and many cultures … of many segments of the population … I’ve reached the irrefutable conclusion … the undeniable truth ... of why men dress up!”

“Yes?” I inquired impatiently.

The professor shot me a disapproving look. Composed himself and continued, “Men dress up because … because …”

“Yes?”

“… they want to be boys!”



Boys again!!!

Why Did The Monkey Cross The Road?




I've had just enough time to...   see the monkeys crossing the road.


Taken of the monkeys crossing the road on my return journey from Lake Chini, Pahang


Why are the monkeys crossing the road?
Because the first monkey did

Why did the first monkey cross the road?
To get to the other side

But why did it want to get to the other side?
Because it wants to cross back from where it came from

But why did it cross in the first place?
Now that is a very profound question that philosophers have been trying to decipher for centuries. They even compared monkeys to chickens but found nothing in common. The chickens cross the road because they are chickens…

And?
The monkeys cross the road because they are monkeys.
Man crosses the road because…

Nature Has No Respect for the Monuments of Men




I've had just enough time to...   try to earn the respect of Nature and it is not impressed.


Taken outside a temple in Nepal of Men's imposing monument and its scan respect by Nature.


Nature has no respect for the monuments of men
Whether they be of Kings or Goddesses
It runs by its own rules and shall prevail
Even when it is overrun by men and their constructions
Do not lament the demise of nature and its destruction 
But lament instead the demise of men and their destruction 
For nature will still be here and prosper
When the last of men has long disappear

Nature as is its nature, patiently waits...
For the end of men to return to its true nature.
