Tempered Down, Muted... The Brilliant Life I Need Not Change

Japanese Shakespeare - in the 'Classics' section of my favorite bookstore

The camel on Rd. 10 - I could only manage a shot from behind. Suburban voyager.

I had a fantastic Thai meal at the Kakatiya, perks of being a writer. They didn't have mango sticky rice and the plain sticky rice wasn't that great. So, I overloaded on Tiramisu, chocolate mousse and brownie.

Just for kicks. Since I've been spending way too much time at the Taj.

Just for kicks - II. I do like my new dancing shoes a lot.

World's youngest salesman. We met this little kid outside City Centre, trying to sell us heavily marked up chewies at midnight on Sunday. We picked him up, gave him a hug and would have bought them just 'cos he was so endearing, but instead gave him some tips on how to be a better salesperson, encouraged him to go to school and chatted with him while his slinky elder brother watched from a distance.



Another enterprising salesman. My nephew convinced me to buy empty cartons of juice, "for a bargain!" He plans to buy a plant for his parents with the money he makes out of his little con act :)
How could I say 'no?' The little cardboard cut out reads, "Ethan's shop"


Best ever "whoopsie daisy" I heard - from my little niece. I know, "Awww..." :p
You women!

Another bratty nephew. At least someone was really excited it was my birthday. He would have finished half the cake if his mum didn't intervene. At a year and a half, he's a greater chocoholic than I ever was!

And then he tried to infuse my stress ball with milk! What would life be like without kids?

And finally, a p3 pic which truly captured my present state of being. Like I said, "It's a brilliant life and I'm enjoying every minute of it."
