A View from Twilight Zone
A View from Twilight Zone into my room at Hotel Grand Mahakam , Jakarta. Scary? Was this edited? No, this picture is as it was taken. How? It is actually the reflection of the room on the window glass. The blue light is the light from pizza restaurant and the spots are street lights from outside. I placed the camera 2 inches from the glass. Exposure 1/8. Aperture f/3.8 DSR Nikon D70s
Nasi Padang @ Jakarta
It looked yummy........ This is nasi padang. They serve all dishes on a plate stacked up. You eat wht you want to eat and they will charge accordingly. The food looked good and that was the comments from my friends....psst, I am a vegitarian. I eat "pucuk ubi" that taste good too.
Young Entrepreneurs
This boy is not a beggar or playing at the street. They are serious business mans. During rain they rent their umbrella for a short distance....to walk to the car, or to the mall. When it is out on rent, they will walk in rain with the "tenant" and bring back the umbrella. And they are students who work to earn extra for the family. I am glad to see them earning the right way.....I guess they are paid like Rps1,000.00.

A view of the sun rise across the river from the Ashram As Swami Sivananda was a doctor, the commitment was carried on to help the poor and needed with medical services on top on food, cloths and other basic need.

Back To Basic
The above images was scanned from a photo that I took some years back when i was back packing to some village in south India. It was the time where they transfer the baby padi to the main field (I don't remember the names... hehehe very bad in putting in words). I had the opportunity to help them and they showed me how to do the job :). It was cool for me ...but I guess it is not for them as this decides their harvest. I enjoyed the village life very much. Getting up at 6 am with a bright sun, and the greens around and the sound of nature, sun over the padi field. Basic living and living with nature made me happy and relaxed .
Do We Need A Death To Take Action?
Do we need to see a death to take action? This is a question to the local authority....and the local MP. The local authority is very active when it comes to revenue ...but is the public safety aspect....is forgotten? The main water pipe was installed about more then a year back and there are no cover for the junction hole from the day one. You can see it at the above pictures. It can cause 2 kind of tragedy...children who plays in that are (this is at a housing area) it can be a good hide and seek place. The uncovered hole is big enough even for an adult to go in. What if the children playfully goes in and falls down into the the pipe slope? This is one scenario, there can be many other ways. The second is the deaths caused by Malaria. The fresh fain water can be collected inside the pipe and can be the breeding point of Aides mosquito ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaria ) What are the enforcement doing or we Need A Death To Take Action? http://blog.thestar.com.my/permalink.asp?id...
A Touching Story
Taken from Forwarded Mail My wife called, 'How long will you be with that newspaper? Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?' I tossed the paper away and rushed to the scene. My only daughter Sindu looked frightened. Tears were welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a bowl filled to its brim with Curd Rice. Sindu is a nice child, quite intelligent for her age.She has just turned eight. She particularly detested Curd Rice. My mother and my wife are orthodox, and believe firmly in the 'cooling effects' of Curd Rice! I cleared my throat, and picked up the bowl. 'Sindu, darling,why don't you take a few mouthful of this Curd Rice?Just for Dad's sake, dear. Sindu softened a bit, and wiped her tears with the back of her hands. 'OK, Dad. I will eat - not just a few mouthfuls, but the whole lot of this. But, you should...' Sindu hesitated. 'Dad, if I eat this entire curd Rice, will you give me whatever I ask for?'....... ....
Point To Ponder
We now days rush for money and material gain and power. What all that can give you ultimately? Can it stop death? Can you alone live in this world after every single living thing has vanished from this earth? You can't eat money. But when the nature exist it can help you to live , the condition is the nature has to exist in balance with the existence of human. We cannot exist without the nature but the nature can. We can exist without the money .... just respect and love nature and live with LOVE then the physical and non physical nature will feed you.

The name is really misleading! Wow ...tarik ape? (English: The translation says : PLEASE PULL AFTER USE..) LOL I found this at Lotus Restaurant at State, PJ
Pause and ponder
Taken From A Forwarded Mail: A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into a pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "But when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home and committed suicide. Think about the story the next time you see someone spill milk at a dinner table or hear a baby crying. Think first before you lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recogni...
