A Little Tour
So I finally got all my stuff relocated. There's a very nice rocking chair that I bought my father and that he never uses at home.



Ever since I first saw that chair at an exhibition I've been dreaming about sitting in it some day and reading a nice book. Morning light streaming in from the balcony and "Dil dhoondta hai phir wohi..." playing in the background. If you've heard this song you know that it is THE perfect song to read a book to. There is no contest. Oh, by the way, the leg in there is my flatmate's who we'll meet shortly.

This then is my bedroom.



The photo in there is a very old family portrait. Funny thing is that the picture came free with a pack of Tide detergant. Every time I have moved away from home I have carried that picture with me. I look terrible in it by the way, but there's just something about that picture. Don't know what.

Onwards. The view from the balcony is fantastic.



I know I know. My camera's terrible at night shots, or maybe its just me :D Even so the landscape is littered with construction sites and a whole bunch of stadiums. If you get your eyes out of focus for a moment and look at the middle of the picture thats the bowl of the biggest one called Gachibowli stadium. Strangely, the view of the construction site was a big factor for me moving in. I don't know what it is about construction sites but they just inspire me no end.

That's me trying to take a picture of myself with the background on the first floor.



This picture:



probably does more justice to the view outside the first floor window (yes, I do realise I look like an idiot in this one. Fake smiles don't work for me). But I like the dreamy quality of the first one. The first floor has this nice mezzanine that connects all the apartment blocks. It's got landscaped gardens and nice garden lighting. Very fetching. Here's a shot of that.



The lighting kind of got away from me on that one. One of the reasons probably is the fact that there's never ever any clouds in the sky in this city. What's up with that?

Just so we can have a bit more perspective, here's a shot of the apartment complex from the office window.



It's those phallic buildings in the background (Heh. Try using THAT word in another sentence). I've got a bunch of pictures of the office too. Might do something similar with them if I feel like it. But then I might not. Okay, you can go away now.

Hmm...I spy what you spy. And in the block bang opposite too! Curiouser and curiouser ;)

Didn't buy the chair thankfully? But the chair. It rocketh! Literally!

As for the house being close to the office. The intent here is to work from home (in PJs, accompanied by good music) and only turn up for meetings and shiz :D

Eh? Do you mean the picture frame?

Oh, I love that song to bits! I love almost all songs that Gulzar and Burman have created together but this one is a big favorite. :) I think I once made a post about it too. Yes, I did.

Naah. The pack of tide came with the offer. You were supposed to go to the nearest kodak place and they'd do you a family portrait for free. 'Twas a lazy sunday, so we did.

P.S.: might have missed that post. Kindly linkify.
