Dona Paula

"Dona and Paula were lovers separated by their caste and nationality and with no other option left, they decided to end their lives, by jumping off the cliff. The Statue on the rock is dedicated to them."
Apparently, that is the 'created' legend and we also fell to the same in our recent Goa trip. 
However, the actual details are here

In wilderness

Somewhere deep 
in the wild
some flowers
in colors mild
smile everyday
like a child.

Unloved forsaken
even by the bee
lonesome in wilderness
they are like me
forever and a day 
yet still miss thee.

Sans Liberalization

सजनी पाती तब लिखूँ जो प्रीतम हो परदेस,
तन में मन में पी बसे सो भेजूँ किसे संदेस!!  
Those who abuse liberalization 
for all the evils of the day 
should ask themselves 
if it was ever possible 
in the socialist-communist 
government-controlled regime 
for a daily-wage earner 
to afford a cellphone.

The Designer Street-Lights-1

When I was on a Kuala Lumpur - Putrajaya tour in Malaysia, I noticed something interesting. The designer street-lights!! We can argue about their utility vis–à–vis their price etc. but they definitely add some flavor to the road travel, especially when there are more than 18 designs!! Sharing some of those here :)
