Liberation Day

With nurses as beautiful as these, I don't mind falling sick at all.

Framed

45 year olds (?) totally engrossed in children's games.

My Name is Red

I am so fortunate to be red! I am fiery. I'm strong. I know people take notice of me and that I cannot be resisted.

I do not conceal myself: For me, delicacy manifests itself neither in weakness nor in subtlety but through determination and will. So, I draw attention to myself. I am not afraid of other colors, shadows, crowds or even of loneliness.

How wonderful it is to be red.

Gelatto lipstick.

Who is jealous of red - blue and yellow.

(Those girls showed me an interesting trick - inhale from an inflated baloon through your mouth. And say something immediately.

Addendum: The key is helium. Excessive inhalation might cause health hazards)

Tipsy turvy

The joy of having a sibling

Time is also a dimension

Time in two different dimensions .... differ by 5 minutes.

This is not a visual illusion. The two watches differ by 5 minutes ( 2:53 & 2:58 respectively). 

I should have taken the pic when the minute hand (on the left) was yet to strike 12 and the one on the right had crossed 12 - that would have made the difference between the two watches easy to fathom visually (and would have made me late for my appointment also).

This one is more pronounced and easy to detect.

Koln Karneval

Anything but blue ...

The Blue Mosque ... 

Parisians favourite fixation

Les ponts sur la rivière Siene

(The Bridges over the river Siene)

Any Parisian can spend hours proudly detailing the intricate designs on the different Parisian bridges over the river Siene. 

Immortal warrior - Tomb of the unknown soldier

... and someday the killings will end

On either sides.

Of innocent civilians.

Of guiltless soldiers who act selflessly to restore peace.

The ruthless terrorists and the barbarous soldiers can go to hell.
