King of Horses!
A majestic horse standing tall on a greener pasture. Enjoying morning breakfast! :-) This photo was taken near the Udhagamandalam aka Ooty Hill railway station.
Are you wondering what the title conveys? Well, Banana Split is my favourite icecream and my character resembles it. I have created this blog to put forth my thoughts about myself, about people who I come across everyday and how they touched my life, how I enjoy nature, my life and my passion towards sketching, photography, writing Tamil Kavidhaigal. There are quite some interesting things that I would love to share and ramble on , which you may also like and relate to. Please keep watching!

A fern inside a greenhouse. The lighting inside the greenhouse was very different which made me to click my camera without any second thought. The lighting inside the tent was golden yellow in colour giving a slight shining effect.
One of my favorite pictures that I had taken. It took me Ghajini effort [16 attempts] to capture this picture. It fades initially and gives a clear picture of a fully bolossomed flower with dew and a half blossomed bud in the background.
One of my favorite pencil sketchings done by me. This is the portrait of hollywood actress Catherine Zeta Jones. I hope it resembles her to some extent, If not, well I am still learning ya... gimme some time! ;-)
A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates. So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags.
After 1 week , the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?" The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game.
The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime???"
Moral of the story:
Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not carry sins for a life time. Forgiving others is the best attitude to take!
Life is to be fortified by many friendships.
To love & to be loved is the greatest happiness.
Fate determines who comes into our lives. The heart determines who stays...
A truly nice story which I have come across in recent times... After reading this, I have started to love people whom I like and forget about people who are not in my wavelength... Its better to forget them rather than hate them!... You have less time to love more people!... If you like someone, tell them how much you like them... Life is short, Try to make it as sweet as possible... :-)... Keep smiling... Life will smile upon you...
I came across these words in a forward mail... Thought I can share something good with others... As one of my friends described these, the words are simply "Beautiful". Worth reading...

I have two versions of the same ice cream. So You have seen and heard much about the ice cream, what does it have to do with my character. Good Question :)... Here is the answer to it...
I am pretty similar to the icecream : as soft as the banana slices within. Most often people don't notice it. Sometimes I laugh and joke with people : this charecteristic I would describe as being pure and white like the vanilla flavor”. Sometimes I romance with nature: this could be called being as sweet as chocolate. Sometimes I get angry and my face turns red : can be called as red as strawberry. Well, Strawberry is not too red and also my anger doesn't last very long. You might think I am tough and not friendly on first look like the nuts strewn on the icecream but the nuts also add flavor to the icecream. I may also crumble like the wafers spread on it. I am very emotional at times. Initially it will be nice to get along with me. But If you don't get to know my character very well, its difficult because the icecream melts and all the characters will combine together. You don't know when each character appears in me! For my best friends, I am still a best friend and a character who they know very well and can easily tell which character I am in at any given time. Well, I am not a split personality. I am an ordinary human most often misunderstood by my behaviours! :) I also make a very good friend for those who trust me. :)
I hope this answers the question. Here is another version of the icecream!
