From Dusk, Till Dawn

This photograph known as "The Kiss" is famous as being among the classiest shots ever captured by a camera. It was taken on the eve of August 15,1945 after the Japanese surrender to American forces in World War 2, during the celebrations in the famous Times Square in New York city. It’s said that on that day every swabbie worth his bell-bottoms kissed every girl within reach. The pic shows 1 of those sailors and a nurse engaged in a moment of sheer ecstasy.
I love the natural, un-artificial beauty of it. The way her legs are positioned, with the grace of a ballerina, while his legs are firm and supportive. The way she seems to have completely submitted herself to the trustworthy embrace of his arms. The way those lips are locked, unperturbed by the presence of hundreds of prying eyes around them . “A picture can say more than a thousand words.” If the word ‘Passion’ was ever to be described by a picture, then this would be it. I’d been looking for an excuse to use this picture here for sometime, and I don’t think there can be a more apt time than Now.

The time has almost come to kiss another year goodbye. As has been true with almost all the previous years, this year too had it’s own share of ups and downs. Some dreams were fulfilled, some were not. Some really good friends were made, and some were lost. Some targets were achieved, others remain.

Yet whatever be the case, this is the time to look forward to new beginnings, new horizons, crossing new frontiers (maybe a new job ;) ).
This may/may not be my last post for this year, since I’m leaving for a well deserved vacation to Bombay and Goa tomorrow.(Though I would check for your posts). Whoa, I’ve been told Goa is among the top 5 destinations WORLDWIDE to celebrate the New Year’s! Moreover some really good friends have been real nice to forward me a lot of information on what to do and where to go. A Goan friend of mine has even promised to take me along to 1 of those exclusive ‘firang rave parties’ on Goan beaches. Let’s see how all this turns out !

So all you talented souls out there, it’s the time to let your hair down and boogie the nights away! I hope you all rejuvenate yourself and come back with a BANG next year! Here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Fantabulous New Year!!!
So till next year, Adios Amigos !!!
